Gorgeous Gratitude
When I tune into gratitude I see the world differently. Working with gratitude helps me shift my focus onto the things I appreciate. I see a world where I am supported and there is much to be joyful about. And the more I practice gratitude the more grateful and connected to the joys of life I become.

Befriending Your Inner Critic
Would you believe me if I told you that your inner critic only has your highest good in mind when he or she is prodding and poking and judging and blaming? Would you like to learn how to understand what your inner critic is really trying to say to you? To hear it as supportive messages of care for you that could actually help you make life-serving choices? Imagine what a difference it would make to your life to hear supportive and caring messages instead of blame and judgement. We will use self-empathy to learn how to translate the critical messages and hear the loving intention behind them.

Deep Listening Empathy Training
In this one day workshop we explore the art of really listening to another. Listening beyond the specific words and the story someone tells to the deepest meaning of what they are trying to communicate. So rather than getting bogged down by what they say, there is the potential for connection, communication, understanding.
This course is suitable for those new to NVC and those with some experience.

Practical Nonviolence
'At the centre of non-violence stands the principle of love.' Martin Luther King Jr.
Is the way you communicate working for you? Does it sometimes seem that your message is not getting across? Do you find yourself feeling annoyed, frustrated or powerless when talking with others? Would you like some alternative strategies for how to speak and respond with strength and compassion, at home, at work or in the wider world?
In this practical workshop we will explore how to bring compassion, honesty, and courage to our interactions with ourselves and others, expressing ourselves and listening with clarity and care.
