Having grown up in Auroville, an international intentional community in Tamil Nadu, India, I'm passionate about exploring how we can live our lives in empowered and co-creative ways. Nonviolent Communication (NVC) offers such a clear, yet deeply powerful and transformative framework within which to explore both our inner realities as well as outer relationships. In addition to NVC, I also work with Restorative Circles and have been bringing this approach to my work with justice and governance in Auroville.
