Enter the Lab*…
…
And to "commune" traditionally meant 'to share a deep understanding, awareness or appreciation; to be IN-HARMONY with'…
The understanding and harmony that is possible with healthy commune-ication!
Consuela, your Lab Assistant, here…
Here we train ourselves to communicate more effectively.
BTW, did you know that the words "communicate"
and "community" actually come from the Latin root for "COMMUNE"?

OK, But… "What IF?"…
"What IF?"… many people raised in our culture of comfort, entitlement, and online contempt and incivility has been conditioned to undervalue the hard work of building better conversations—and better outcomes?
That's a pretty "VIOLENT" approach, right?
But hey, let's face it, they've got some valid points.
So how can Faǰa model a "NON-VIOLENT,"
AHIMSA-based way to respond & relate?
EXAMPLE: "Well, actually… I hear you… And I AM in the process of getting out of your way Pretty Soon! But I do want to leave behind for you some things that might help you find YOUR way."
Let's Model the "Switch-Up" Tactic…
Take the "worst" or most "opposite" viewpoint and SWITCH SIDES to argue IN-FAVOR of that point-of-view and perspective.
SO let's assume a really tough ("VIOLENT") communicating position, and—instead of REACTING to it—point out something valid about it.
How "VIOLENT" can we make this?
