Enchanting voices and music bring teachings about the why and how of Nonviolent Communication. Perfect for children and adults learning about the emotion and heart that surrounds feelings and needs.
| Audio Product Overview: Composed, directed by Kathleen Macferran, Music Director and Founder of Rainier Chamber Winds.
Musical Metaphors of the Heart: Giraffe Tales evolved from a playful metaphor sometimes used in Nonviolent Communication trainings referring to NVC as “giraffe language.” The giraffe is the land animal with the largest heart. The heart represents the place of universal feelings and needs. The giraffes’ height affords views of the distant horizon and the consequences of actions. The neck also is a reminder of the courage it takes to stick out one’s neck in service of one’s values. “How Giraffes Found Their Hearts” and “How Giraffes Got Their Ears” are stories interwoven in a rich musical landscape and narrated by enchanting voices. Available now as an audio download or in CD format. |
