Consolidating our energy towards a global network of steem-based eco-communities is a clear priority for @ecotrain. We deliberately and consciously curate those posts which speak to the issues, challenges and needs of the emerging steem eco-communities around the world.
GREAT content this week - here are some of the gems, eco-green wisdom & insight shared under the #ecotrain tag this week on the steem blockchain. Even if you don't have VP or RC to upvote, a meaningful comment is usually upvoted by a smart author, so please go and lavish your appreciation and engagement on this great content.
We truly are an amazing global community - and growing with new contributors every week!! If you want to help @ecotrain give juicier upvotes, please delegate or increase your delegation if you can. It matters! You loaning us your steem to make more money for you? Bit of a no-brainer, really!
@ecotrain is a artisan-hand-curated community built around the concept of gift economy and actively making our world a better place. We engage around sustainability, eco-green, permaculture, the glories of Mother Earth, inner transformation, alternative energy, earthships & earth building, recycling - in short, all the practical and conceptual underpinnings of paradigm shift.
Each week @eco-alex and @artemislives scour the steemit blockchain for people using the tag, and upvote-comment-curate in the best way they know how.
Please:

ecoVillage Journal #10 - NVC, we had to ask him to
leave!
Making sure the nucleus of project beginning is rock solid and crystal
clear? Yup - sometimes it takes a firm hand and some housekeeping. The
Eco-Village in Portugal consolidated and clarified its core team and
core values this week - Non Violent Communication being one of those
core values.

Anyone who is a 'fan' of Marshall Rosenberg is a friend of mine 💚 I read NVC when my now-17-year-old was a babe in arms and it revolutionised my ability to communicate effectively with at least this one human being, stopping the cycle of abuse/trauma in my family heritage for good. 17 years on, I am learning how to extend that ability. Pleased to 'meet' you here, and I will be following and reading... Thank you! Jay 💚

Wonderful to hear that, Jay. As a solo mom of a 15 year old your comment encourages me no end. 😊
Welcome to post using #ecotrain and/or #nvc anytime... no rules here other than courtesy & originality & loosely writing within our eco-green-environment-ecovillage areas of interest. NVC is a major foundational plank of eco-village. 💚

Thank you for the invitation, @artemislives 😊🙏 Raven asked me yesterday why we are able to communicate with each other without misunderstandings and conflict, saying, "I can only remember 3 times when we got it 'wrong', and even they were helpful because they reminded me of how much I value our ability to communicate effectively."
I must admit that I have never seen anyone use NVC's principles with the ease, grace and elegance that Marshall did. For me, the most resonance was around the essence of his message, which was utterly evolutionary. I vividly remember reading about his experiment of splitting people into 2 groups at workshops and assigning them the same conflict resolution task, but (unbeknown to the participants) with a different 'protagonist'. On every single occasion that he ran this experiment, the group which was told that the 'problem' person was a neighbour approached them with more respect and compassion than did the group which had been instructed that they were dealing with their own child. I can't accurately describe the feelings which arose in me at that moment, but it was a cellular-level 'lightbulb moment', and a key factor in giving me the strength and resolve to parent my child differently than any relationship I had ever encountered. I will forever be grateful to Marshall for that. He was a truly exceptional and remarkable human being. 💚
