Certified NVC Trainer
SENSE OF LIFE
An Approach To Learning And Living Nonviolent Communication
'LIFE SUPPORT'
FREE TASTER SESSIONS
I offer free half hour taster sessions so that you can experience my one to one NVC Coaching 'Life Support'. Finding the right person to support you in your life can be difficult, this way you can meet me, experience my work, and see if it's for you.
My work has it's roots in a reacquaintance with our Sense Of Life, connecting us to ourselves and all living things. And once connected cultivating compassionate presence and a warm hospitality with all that is discovered there. I support the reclaiming of our dreams and passions and the life and intention within them, giving room for the grief of life unlived and life lost, and room for hope and trust to flourish. This is achieved through the practice of self compassion and the translation of life-alienating thinking into our precious life force which is captured through identifying feelings and needs using the practices and principles of Nonviolent Communication (NVC).

People have joined my workshops here in Stroud from as far away as Yorkshire and London, so, if you'd like to experience my work, and need somewhere to stay, I have some friends who have offered to do B&B. So drop me an email if you are interested.

Robert Gonzales, Certified NVC Trainer
Facilitated Process Of Inner Compassion 2016
I have studied with Robert Gonzales for some years now. Robert's passion is in the spirituality of Nonviolent Communication. During this video Robert supports me with a recurring pattern in my life that causes me deep pain. You might get to know me a little by watching this video, and I'm delighted to introduce you to Robert's work which has very much influenced mine also. You can view the full series of videos here .
"The experience of this group was a life changing experience for me: I was able to connect with a difficult area of experience that sprung to life during our NVC practice sessions. The atmosphere of warmth, respect and sensitivity to each other's needs and longings, facilitated my badly needed self- compassion."
'Being' What We Need Workshop April 2019
"This was my first experience of NVC, though I first heard of it decades ago. I found it very interesting, and sometimes profound and unexpected, and I went to some quite deep places. I liked the format of working in pairs, and we were certainly able to support each other in some strong processes. Clare was great in her willingness to express her own vulnerabilities, which was , in itself, a learning experience. I'd like to do some more."
'Being' What We Need Workshop April 2019
"I learnt that it wasn't a clever technique, but a way of life I was already embarked upon, but being with a supportive group that was willing to be and show vulnerability, built a strong safety net, making realisations possible."
Natural Giving And Receiving Workshop
February 2019
"Thank you so much for a wonderful day. Your facilitation style made me feel very at ease and I believe I have learnt a lot from you today. I am grateful for your courage; my life would be less rich if I hadn't had the experience of this workshop today."
