Shona learnt my watching Marshall Rosenberg listen over many hours and days in his presence. This skill is especially precious to her and she is always eager to pass what she has learnt on.

When to Express and When to Listen?

Free online Workshop

My friend and colleague died on the 30th of August. To honour him and his love for NVC. This online offer is an activity I learnt from him.

We will explore shifting the decision-making in communication away from the brain: to discern, and listen closely to what the intelligence in our bodies is telling us- Listen or Express?

Some experience in NVC is required.

Remembering Robert Kržišnik​

In Robert's words- “For me it’s all about connection: from self-connection, through healing wounded parts of ourselves and embracing our whole being, to connect with others on a deeply sincere and vulnerable level. It’s about entering this experience of human existence fully, to manifest connection with the Whole, with the flow of Life.”

Looking forward to seeing you,

About your trainer: Shona is a psychologist with first hand experience of using NVC in her practice. She has been trained in many other methodologies, looked at the overlaps and differences. She sees the benefits of having a foundation in NVC in all her conversations, whether they be therapeutic ones or in coaching conversations. Looking after herself is now her main practice of NVC- making sure she doesn’t leave herself out.

'Thanks Shona - I learned so much from you and from the other participants. The diversity of backgrounds made it very special and I felt nourished and restored by the experience. I continue to use NVC in my personal and professional life and look forward to doing more training with you.’
