#UtopianMicroFiction.

A: Hey kid, how was your first day of school? What subjects will you have?

B: Oh, it was so cool. Our main subjects will be #SocialPedagogy, #GroupDynamics, #PsychoEducation, #TraumaPedagogy and #NonViolentCommunication besides #Inclusion and #Diversity, which we started with today.
Other than that we'll have #ClimateJustice, #BlackHistory, #QueerFeminism, #anarchism, #RiotTraining, #solidarity, #degrowth, #PermaCulture, #ReduceRefuseRepair and a few others.
Didn't you always tell me school didn't teach you anything for real life? Well it's not like that anymore.

🏡 Would you like to live in a community project? Do the principles of permaculture, Nonviolent Communication, and sociocracy resonate with you? Would you like to join us on the south side of Gorbea Natural Park? We have 8 ha of idyllic land with easy access to the city. We are looking for housemates to explore compatibility with and agree upon the founding statutes.

I believe strongly in Non-Violent Communication as a framework for life.

One aspect of that is telling someone that their actions aren't meeting your needs in a way that is non-violent, such as "When you show up thirty minutes later than we said we'd meet, I feel frustrated because my need for respect, and safety aren't met. Can you give me your word that you'll show up on time from now on?"

The other person doesn't have to respond positively to your strategy, but if they don't, or get angry or respond in some other way that doesn't meet your need, then the onus is on you to decide what to do.

It moves control for getting your needs me from the other person back to you, and while that can be difficult at first, it's ultimately very empowering.

I'm so grateful that years ago, I learned Non-Violent Communication.

While I'm not always able to do it, or always able to do it well, being able to put on my "giraffe ears" is a crucial skill not only in personal relationships, but it can be in business as well.

Understanding the needs of others, whether they're collaborative partners, potential customers, suppliers, or staff, can make a huge difference. It shifts problematic actions away from "Ugg they're so annoying" or "Why won't they just do what we want?" to "I wonder what need of theirs isn't being met that's leading to this communication from them?"

By understanding the needs behind the words, we can bring empathy and care where there was only annoyance and frustration.

Dear _ ,

🕊️ How do we create your future, where 🌆 people have public conversations that glow with romance, joy, & respect? Nonviolent communication 💬 will be taught in schools, recovery, & everyday life. Maybe I wrote a letter to the school board 📩? 😄 What can I do to share this vision with local organizations & normalize kindness, curiosity, & connection? 💖 Does it happen after someone like me dares to ask for it... #NonViolentCommunication #ClimateRecovery #2SLGBTQIA #UBI #LoveIsRadical 🫶📚🗣️🌍

I wrote about how I spent years not knowing how to talk about feelings, masculinity, and #NonviolentCommunication and the difference it has made in how I resolve conflicts with others.
