In this episode of the Lost in Language Podcast Jessica talks to Ceri Buckmaster, a Certified Trainer in Nonviolent Communication and an Interfaith Minister. Her ministry involves communication and conflict work as she supports people to rehumanise each other and become more of who they are by finding compassion, clarity, confidence and creativity. She supports people to find the unexpected purpose of why a conflict has emerged in the first place and nurture a deeper kinder relationship with themselves.

Nonviolent Communication is a framework and model to transfer our systems of communication that tend to blame, judge, other and cancel, into a heart-centred communication approach. We explore how the framework of feelings and needs, and observations and requests can support us in developing empathy, connection and understanding with ourselves and others.
