Empathic Times 1/2022: To speak is to love one another

This 30th issue of Empathische Zeit is all about love, though perhaps not in the way you are used to. Most people think of love as a feeling, but Marshall Rosenberg saw it differently: for him, love was a need. Across 96 pages, the magazine explores this idea under the title ‘Reden ist einander lieben’, an African proverb that serves as a guiding theme throughout the main section.

At its heart is a historic interview with Dr Marshall Rosenberg, which we are permitted to reproduce, along with articles on couples coaching, self-love and dreams fulfilled.

You will also find an initiative by two trainers on vaccination entitled ‘Zusammenhalt in Vielfalt’, a report on the climate dialogues and what happens next, an interview with CNVC Executive Director Jeff Brown about the future of the NVC organisation, the seventh part of the series ‘Die schönsten Irrtümer über die GFK’, Beate Rönnefeldt's ‘Perlentauchen’ exercise and the ninth instalment of Al Weckert's series ‘Transferwirksamkeit’.

Ten pages are devoted to the life and work of Robert Gonzales, who died in November 2021 after a long and serious illness. Contributors to this issue include Uta Hohenberger, Olaf Hartke and Anja Palitza, Cynthia Philebrunn, Regine Landwehr, Dr Stephanie Schnichels and Gaby Schuster.
