Wild Roots EcoVillage has chosen Nonviolent Communication (NVC) as its preferred conflict resolution method. Many of us practice using NVC in our daily language as a respectful way of communicating. While WREV members may chose to use NVC as much or as little as they like on a daily basis, all members will participate in training so that when a conflict arrises, it may be dealt with in a nonviolent way.
