This document is intended to let you know what the “Framing the Big Picture” on-line process using Synanim is all about. Understanding this is likely to help you to contribute in a more meaningful way.

<!--T:48-->
 +
The “[http://www.cnvc.org/framing-the-big-picture-with-synanim Framing the Big Picture]” on-line process using Synanim is intended to invite the NVC community to collectively say how it would like to organize, especially at a global level.

We would like this “Framing the Big Picture” on-line process to provide a basis for deciding:

<!--T:50-->

What sort of global NVC organization, or globe-spanning configuration of organizations, or non-organization-based systems, if any, will we work to collectively bring into being within the next few years? What would we like this organization or these organizations or systems to be doing?

After the “Framing the Big Picture” process has surfaced longings of the global NVC community that are relevant to these questions, the remaining phases of the “[http://www.cnvc.org/process-for-a-new-future-general Process for a New Future]” will make practical decisions about exactly what will happen, and will begin implementing these decisions.
+
As a participant in the process, you will be invited to ground yourself in the needs underlying our shared purpose, as it lives in you, and then explore successive aspects of strategy until you arrive at issues related to organizing at a global level.

<!--T:7-->

<!--T:52-->

We want these decisions to be made because we imagine that it might be possible for the life of the global NVC community to be more wonderful.

The on-line process will involve multiple “stages.” Everyone is invited to participate in Stage One, which involves two on-line sessions. These two sessions will cover a range of topics – from needs to organizing globally.

Those who have initiated this process are in leadership roles at the ''Center for Nonviolent Communication'' (CNVC). CNVC has been the closest thing there has been so far to a global NVC organization. We recognized that some people have been dreaming of more life-serving ways that the global NVC community could organize itself. We further recognized that whether or not such dreams could come into reality was likely to be strongly affected by whether or not the CNVC leadership committed to supporting new new ways of organizing (or new ways of doing things in what global organization already exists) in coming into being. The leadership of CNVC values such dreams being realized, and so has made this commitment.

The on-line process is ultimately about getting input on what the community would like to see happening at the level of global systems and organizations that affect the world-wide NVC community. This focus does not mean that we regard issues related to individuals or local organizations and systems as less important. Rather, these global issues constitute an area in which CNVC’s commitment to support implementation of community-decided changes is likely to be particularly significant. It’s what we have the most ability to help change.
+
In the first on-line session, the focus will be on looking at why we want to share NVC and its underlying consciousness, what is getting in the way of that happening as quickly and fully as we might like, and what we could do that might make us dramatically more effective in achieving our goals.

Although we ultimately want to get answers about what we collectively will do at a global level, that’s not where we will start.

Any activities we engage in at a global level are simply strategies. Before we talk about strategies, it makes sense to talk about underlying needs we are trying to meet, and purposes we are trying to serve.

−
<!--T:13-->
 
−
Why do we, as members of the global NVC community (those for whom NVC is somehow significant to us) want to even consider organizing? Organizing is something that people do when they want to collectively accomplish a purpose that they share, and which they can’t accomplish as effectively by themselves. What purpose do we share?

<!--T:14-->

A prior generation of leaders at CNVC identified a purpose of creating a world in which:
 
−
 
 
−
<!--T:15-->
 
−
* everyone values everyone's basic human needs and lives from a  consciousness that connects with the universal life energy and natural oneness of all life.
 
−
* where every individual embraces self compassion
 
−
* where people joyfully and compassionately contribute to each other and resolve conflicts peacefully
 
−
* where the systems and structures we create in economics, education, justice, healthcare, peace-keeping and other areas across our global interdependent community reflect that consciousness and evaluate their actions against their contribution to life and the human needs they ultimately serve.
 
−
 
 
−
<!--T:16-->
 
−
Perhaps a purpose something like this might be shared by many of us?
 
−
 
 
−
<!--T:17-->
 
−
Or perhaps we could talk more simply, about bringing NVC to people, and spreading the consciousness that underlies NVC so that it affects the ways that people live and work together?
 
−
 
 
−
<!--T:18-->
 
−
At the level of our underlying shared dream for the world, it is likely that those who will be drawn to participate in this process have a great deal in common. So, the process will not necessarily dwell on trying to find just the right words for this shared dream.

What you need to know: What you are being asked

to think about

Overview[edit]

The “Framing the Big Picture” on-line process using Synanim is intended to invite the NVC community to collectively say how it would like to organize, especially at a global level.

This process is designed to bring together the voices of those who share a purpose of:

living NVC consciousness and having NVC consciousness be made available to others to benefit from.

As a participant in the process, you will be invited to ground yourself in the needs underlying our shared purpose, as it lives in you, and then explore successive aspects of strategy until you arrive at issues related to organizing at a global level.

The on-line process will involve multiple “stages.” Everyone is invited to participate in Stage One, which involves two on-line sessions. These two sessions will cover a range of topics – from needs to organizing globally.

Stage One / Session One[edit]

In the first on-line session, the focus will be on looking at why we want to share NVC and its underlying consciousness, what is getting in the way of that happening as quickly and fully as we might like, and what we could do that might make us dramatically more effective in achieving our goals.

Discussing these topics lays the foundation for what comes in session two, by addressing the fundamental question, “What would we, as members of the NVC community, like to be collectively doing in general?”

Stage One / Session Two[edit]

In the second on-line session that each person participates in, the focus narrows down by moving from what we would like to be doing in general, to how we can support this happening through how we organize – and how organizing at a global level in particular plays into this picture.

This session introduces some new ideas beyond what was under consideration in the first session. What role does coming together in an organized fashion play in supporting our goals? To what extent does it make sense to do things locally versus doing them on a more widespread basis? What sort of organizations or network of organizations might serve our shared purpose, and what would it make sense for such organizations to be doing?

Later stages of the on-line process[edit]

As discussed in the document on how to work with Synanim, some people will be invited by the software to participate in sessions associated with additional stages of the on-line process.

These additional sessions will involve considering variations on the questions asked in the first two sessions. These questions will also be considered with different mixes of people, to integrate what was learned in earlier sessions.

In the final stage, a summary statement will be produced concerning what sort of global organizing is likely to be of service to our shared purpose.

Imagining we are starting from a “blank slate”[edit]

In thinking about the issues raised in this on-line process, we suggest imagining:

“If CNVC did not exist, what sort of organization or organizations would we want to create and place at the heart of the NVC community?”

name="_GoBack"In practice, CNVC does of course exist, and engages in a variety of activities. Yet, we want to root this process in asking, “What it is that would serve life if we could create what we would most like?” Then, after this on-line process completes, in the follow-up phase of the larger “Process for a New Future”, we will collectively look at how to get to something like what we most want, given where we are now.

Where we have been[edit]

The Center for Nonviolent Communication (CNVC) was founded in 1984. CNVC supported Marshall Rosenberg in sharing NVC around the world, through the end of 2011 when Marshall retired.

Since then, CNVC has continued to certify NVC trainers; offer 9-day International Intensive Trainings (IITs) around the world; host a website (cnvc.org) where people can find out about trainers, trainings, and NVC in general; respond to inquiries from the public; and run an on-line bookstore selling NVC materials. At times, CNVC has also played an active role in funding and publicizing NVC-related projects around the world.

Many additional NVC organizations now exist. Most of these NVC organizations are primarily focused on a particular geographic region.

In this time of transition, with Marshall no longer at the heart of the organization he founded, we perceive an opportunity to take a fresh look at what sort of activities and organization or organizations would best contribute to making life more wonderful for the NVC community and for those that NVC might benefit.

This opportunity to look at things afresh and contribute to life is what motivated the leadership of CNVC to develop and commit to implementing this process.

What will happen after the on-line process[edit]

The on-line “Framing the Big Picture” process with Synanim is being offered in multiple languages. The process will begin later in some languages than in others. Consequently, from the time some people begin the on-line process until the time when everyone is finished might span six weeks or more.

When everyone is finished with the on-line process, the summary statements produced in each language will be translated into the other languages. The results will be shared with all those who participated in the on-line process, and with the cnvc-futur Google Group (which you are encouraged to join). People will be invited to share their reactions to the summary statements, and those reactions will be gathered together and summarized and shared as well.

Following that, Working Groups will be organized to make concrete decisions aligned with the “big picture” provided by the on-line process. And, in a subsequent phase, those decisions will be implemented. To learn more about all this, read about the “Process for a New Future.”
