Gregory Rouillard
Gregory Rouillard, M.S., M.Div., grew up in a small town in western Colorado and graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. He served in the U.S. Marine Corps for twenty years as an AV-8B Harrier pilot and in numerous other roles. He earned a Master of Science in Operations Research at the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School in 2003 and retired from the Marines in 2008.
Near the end of his career as a Marine, Gregory began to study and practice Sociocracy and Nonviolent Communication. After moving back home to Colorado in 2009, Gregory developed the Way of Community philosophy and framework and continued to refine his understanding and embodied application of its methods. He is a co-founder of the One Big Circle and Family HEART Camp, bringing the practice of compassion into the seed of all community, the family.
Gregory has accompanied numerous groups around the U.S. and abroad on the journey of meaningful community:
- NVC organizations in Denver, Colorado and Madison, Wisconsin.
- The Boulder Valley School District in Colorado.
- Cohousing communities in Colorado, Utah, Virginia and Oklahoma.
- Faith communities in Virginia, Colorado, Utah, California, Washington, Arizona, Texas and Hawaii.
- The Kalikalos Centre for Holistic Education in Greece.
Since 2019 Gregory has been living and working in Europe, spending summers in Greece and winters in Austria. He is currently involved with a group of people in Europe interested in bringing NVC family camps to this continent.
“My passion is helping people who long to experience meaningful community to develop and implement usable and effective systems for connection, equivalence and effectiveness.”
