Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: communication guidelines

[Joanie Connors (jvcphd]

I don't know about cohousing specific communication models, but I
really like Dennis Rivers' work on Cooperative Communication based on
Quaker nonviolence teachings.

His website http://www.newconversations.net/ has several articles and
a workbook that are free for downloading.

Of course many people use Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication too.
