Juva DuBoise responded to a question about NVC in cohousing and invited her neighbors to add comments?. As a newer member of CoHo Cohousing in Corvallis, Oregon, I?ve been impressed with the use of NVC in community meetings. In one of the first meetings I attended, the community was tackling a difficult issue. The ?needs? behind the various options were explored (identifying needs is a key component of NVC), which opened up more discussion. As the needs were shared, peoples? attitudes shifted. There was no rush to a solution or campaigning to recruit folks to a specific point of view. What impressed me most was how respectfully people listened to each other. In NVC, the symbol for compassionate (nonviolent) communication is the giraffe because it has the largest heart of any land animal on earth. The giraffe?s long neck provides a far-reaching, overall perspective and also suggests a willingness to ?stick your neck out? and take risks. Living in a ?giraffe community? will be an interesting experience. Susan Hyne http://www.cohousing-corvallis.com/index.shtml
