Christine King

About Christine King
Christine King's undergraduate degree is in the social sciences and she is credentialed to teach kindergarten through high school. Christine has a strong interest in understanding why countries go to war, which led her in the 1980s to earn an advanced degree in international relations from the Graduate Institute of International Studies in Geneva, Switzerland.
She's traveled, lived, and worked overseas, including with the United Nations. Locally, Christine has been employed by the University of California, Santa Cruz Waldorf School, and Santa Cruz City Schools.

After hearing a talk by Marshall Rosenberg and taking classes with NVC Certified Trainer Jean Morrison in the late 1990s, Christine realized that Nonviolent Communication was the missing link between her meditation practice and social action work. Since 1999 she has studied NVC extensively: attending classes, workshops, retreats, and international trainings in preparation for receipt of her NVC certification in 2004. Christine is passionate about this work and enjoys sharing it with participants of all ages. She is part of the NVC voluntary team that is teaching at San Quentin Prison.

Dear friends and customers of Galloping Giraffe Enterprises,

In 2006 we (Christine King and Jean Morrison) met to brainstorm our vision, mission, and direction as we launched our NVC products and materials on our website www.nvcproducts.com

Here are some things we wrote on our wall charts in big, colorful letters....

  • make empathy easily learned, celebrated, and a "household word"
  • share NVC with the larger community via kinesthetic and playful activities
  • contribute to peace and harmony in relationships, families, groups, schools
  • bring a peaceful and harmonious consciousness to games
  • support families to resolve conflicts joyfully and easily
  • create win-win
  • make and create peace one piece at a time
  • have fun!

Now we have a website, 3 NVC products available to the world, a free download of our NVC Circle of Life mandala, and 4 more products in the design and development stages.

We appreciate YOU, our friends and customers. So far, you live in 33 states and 7 countries! We are stoked with the geography of our network.

Here are our 3 products we now offer:

New! Magnetic GROK is a set of 180 Feelings, Needs, and connecting words that can be placed on your refrigerator or any magnetic surface. Play with these words daily to help you deepen your understanding of yourself and others. Bring mindful awareness to each day for discovery, connection, and fun!

Communication FUNdamentals is a fun and playful 56 page booklet which illustrates the difference between life-alienating and life-serving language. Using jackal and giraffe drawings, Communication FUNdamentals will guide you through the tools and consciousness of Nonviolent Communication as developed by Marshall Rosenberg.

GROK is a set of interactive games designed for understanding, listening, communication, and fun! The games are based on Nonviolent Communication, a process used and taught internationally to promote peace and resolve conflict with individuals, families, organizations, and governments. Included in the set are 56 feelings cards, 56 needs/values cards, and instructions for 15 games.
