Communication affects the quality of ​ALL our relationships. By learning and practising the skills of Compassionate Communication we can consciously create the quality of relationships we want. 
Do you have the quality of connection you want?
My name is Paulette Bray-Narai, and this is the home of 
Express Peace Cultivating Compassion & my passion - 
​"Nonviolent Communication" 
aka "Compassionate Communication 
I love its universality and its simplicity; how it aids honesty, clarity and connection
and it's incredible power to build trust and good will in relationships.
 
Are you frustrated and wanting mutual understanding, trust or respect in a valued relationship? OR Are you wanting to get your needs met peacefully and maintain appropriate boundaries?

By learning and practising the skills of Compassionate Communication, we can consciously create the quality of relationships we want. 

Compassionate Communication is a learnable, powerful and effective communication process that stimulates compassion in ourselves and others making it more likely we can meet our needs and uphold genuine  connection in peaceful ways.

In my experiences, I have seen how our relationships are a source of great joy in our lives, and at times great despair.  Communication is a key element in any relationship - personal or professional.

How we speak to each other, listen to each other, understand each other, determines how well we live and work together. 

Practising NVC is an empowering and effective way to enjoy more harmony, honesty, clarity, ease and joy in relationships.  Join thousands of others by contacting Paulette for options and pathways.

Ah Ha Card Feedback:
"During a NVC meeting I saw your cards being used in a remembering circle.
They made me feel mild and I adore them, I understand you made them yourself?
At the moment I use (…) and I would really like to be able to add yours  because they look so friendly and feel nice : ) and I like how they feel in my hands.
