"Peace Paths" is a fun, interactive way for all ages to develop and practice empathy for ourselves and one another. This tool incorporates movement with visual and kinesthetic learning that fosters development of emotional intelligence and social skills so vitally important to our wellbeing at home, school, work and community.
Peace Paths is inspired by Nonviolent Communication (NVC) by Marshall Rosenberg, http://www.cnvc.org/;

The hearing that is only in the ears is one thing. The hearing of the understanding is another. But the hearing of the spirit is not limited to any one faculty, to the ear, or to the mind. Hence it demands the emptiness of all the faculties. And when the faculties are empty, then the whole being listens. There is then a direct grasp of what is right there before you that can never be heard with the ear or understood with the mind. Chuang-Tzu
