Set: Wolf and giraffe ears

The set contains two headbands: one with wolf ears and one with giraffe ears. Marshall Rosenberg often used these very ears in his training sessions to illustrate the difference between judgemental language and language that creates connection: those wearing the wolf ears hear and speak in evaluations, whilst those wearing the giraffe ears practise understanding and connecting.

The ears were invented by American CNVC trainer Holley Humphrey. For many years, trainers around the world were supplied with them directly from her workshop.

Today we source the ears from the Korean Center for Nonviolent Communication, which commissioned their production in China at its own risk. They look quite similar to the originals. The set includes one headband with wolf ears and one with giraffe ears.
