How to integrate CI into Non-Violent Communication (NVC) teachings

I utilize Contact Improvisation as the primary method to deepen my understanding, and that of others, regarding the functioning of our nervous systems on a somatic level, as well as the behavioral patterns they exhibit when triggered. Through spontaneous movement and touch exploration, we gain insight into our physical responses, which can then be translated effortlessly into emotional, cognitive, and spiritual realms. This process allows us to tap into our embodied cognition, uncover learned patterns, and consciously replace automatic reactions with intentional ones that foster closeness, harmony, and intimacy.

Contact Improvisation, as a non-hierarchical dance form centered on the politics of responsibility, enables practitioners to respond to each moment with integrity, making it a valuable tool for those seeking to cultivate non-violent communication.

Only love and cooperation builds the world

Liza and I come from completely different upbringings, different cultures, religions, language, and ethnicity. And yet, through our communication with genuine intentions, I found a friend, an adversary, a beacon of hope. Liza wants to heal the world with love and her beautiful smile. I not only commend her for it, but I also encourage her.
