비폭력대화의기본개념| 1. 비폭력이란?

Summary

The presenter introduces a video series on Nonviolent Communication (NVC), aiming to explain its ideas in an accessible, practical, and friendly way. She acknowledges that the videos may contain mistakes or imperfections and says she will focus on sharing what she has learned rather than waiting for everything to be perfect.

She briefly describes the development of NVC in Korea and her own path into the practice. She began studying NVC after encountering a book in 2004 and later learned from teacher Choi Seol-hee. Her goal is to present NVC in a way that feels approachable and relevant to everyday life.

What “Nonviolence” Means

• Nonviolence is more than avoiding insults, shouting, or anger. People may think they are nonviolent because they speak gently or do not openly express anger, but those behaviors alone do not define nonviolence.
• Nonviolence involves how we relate to living beings. The video connects it with ahimsa, an ancient Indian principle associated with Gandhi: refraining from causing harm through one’s intentions and actions. It also raises the idea that nonviolence does not mean simply accepting harm done to others.
• It involves empathy and respect for others’ lives. The presenter describes how listening to people’s experiences helped her see the hardships, wounds, and perseverance behind their lives. This shifted her from judging people to feeling gratitude that they exist and have endured what they have.
• Practicing NVC can change one’s outlook. For the presenter, learning and sharing NVC became a turning point in how she understood and responded to other people.

The video closes with the presenter reflecting on her uncertainty about how well she is communicating these ideas and inviting viewers to consider what nonviolence means in their own lives.
