Decolonizing Non-Violent Communication

Decolonizing Non-Violent Communication is back with a second edition! This second edition has all the original content from the first edition with more to explore. Additions to the original include an intro from Meenadchi, new illustrations by Hana Ward, additional reflection pages to dive deeper into the work, and a body sensations expressions chart.

DNVC is a workbook stocked with activities, exercises, and ideas to explore our relationship to communication, our bodies, and each other. Using a trauma-informed approach, this workbook encourages readers to deepen our emotional vocabularies so that we can work towards a more enlivened, healthy interdependence.

(Meenadchi/she/her) has 10+ years experience in trauma services and crisis stabilization. In December 2018, Meenadchi was invited to become Co-Conspirator Press’s inaugural author with the workbook Decolonizing Non-Violent Communication. Meenadchi’s DNVC practice lays the groundwork for a somatic approach to unpacking internalized systems of oppression, to divest from shame, and to find radiance and care in our communication.
