Your ongoing support is making it easier for me to keep improving." GB. Mullumbimby "I am so grateful to have spent time with you teaching / guiding me through the NVC process.

The two day Foundation Training is an excellent starting place for learning NVC. To enjoy the full benefits and to integrate the NVC consciousness takes much more learning and practise beyond the two days. Although at first NVC may appear to be a process, over time you will notice a fundamental shift in consciousness. With this, compassion becomes your first response benefiting the health of your relationship with yourself, as well as others in your life.
Many people are following their NVC Foundation Training with the Foundation Follow-up "Applying The Skills and Navigating Common Challenges" to meet needs for a deeper exploration of the Post-Beginner NVC skills and concepts. Graduates of the full Foundations Program say the additional weekend immersion is a tremendous support for their integration of Compassionate Communication into daily life. Two full, fun and practical days applying your NVC skills in navigating common challenges experienced by most people new to NVC. Highly Recommended! Testimonial: Following my Foundation Training with part 2 was invaluable. It reinforced past learning and moved me to another level. The practical interactions are very powerful, enabling one to experience what goes on for oneself as well as for another person. Thank you." Glenyss D. Gold Coast The Express Peace Foundation Program Having facilitated two day Foundation Trainings for over ten years, I have added a further two days in response to people's repeated request for more. The Foundation Training - "Communication for Healthy Relationships" is the same great starting point for learning NVC . It can be done alone, or as part of an extended Foundations Program with the Foundations Follow-up. The Foundations follow-up is an added option because at the end of the two day Foundation Training many people realise the breadth and depth of applying the NVC process in daily life. Many people have said they wished the course were longer enabling more supported learning. The concepts covered in the Foundations are vital underpinnings and yet are covered briefly in the two days. Now there is an option to extend your Foundation Program. Also I noticed over time that there are common challenges and pitfalls most people face in practising NVC following the Foundation Training. The Foundations Follow-on specifically addresses each of these challenges and provides practice in navigating them using the NVC process. It also covers NVC concepts touched on in the Foundation Training and explores them in more depth, including "Enemy Images" and "Power over" contrasted with "power with". So many people are enjoying the option to engage the two weekend Foundations Program and meet their needs for further support and learning. After all, a lot is covered in the initial two days of the Foundation Training and there is little time for practice and discussion of broader applications and implications. So far the Foundation Followup Program has been enthusiastically received and has made a huge difference to many people's skills. If the fee is a challenge, please discuss your needs with Paulette. |
Paulette conducted the course with the professionalism that reflects the true intention of CC. In the training I felt safe, respected and heard. I would recommend it to anyone with Ears and a willing heart.

More Testimonials"So Many needs have been met in Paulette's Foundation Training: - my need for more Compassionate Communication has been met, - my need for easy flow in the day, - need for humour and friendly company, - need for honesty was met, - need for learning how to interact in harmony was met, - need for hope for humanity was met, - need for connecting and making friends was met. Paulette has an exceptionally warm and nurturing way of being. This course was not only invaluably insightful & helpful, it was also lots of fun. NVC is really an essential tool for the evolution of the human race. I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to learn it.
Thanks Paulette. I truly value your soft & gentle nature." Sheri H. Naturopath Byron Bay 'Both the Foundation Training and the Follow-on weekend have been life changing for me - showing me new ways to connect I never knew before and which have made SUCH a difference to my life. I feel so much more confident and capable that I am now initiating conversations I have long wanted to have and been too afraid. What's more - the conversations are going so much better than I ever imagined possible because I have new ways to say things and a new understanding of myself and the others. It's wonderful how freeing and empowering this is for me. I'm so glad I did it and I highly recommend both the Foundation Training and the follow-on. Robert J, Gold Coast |
My need was to learn the foundational concepts of NVC and have some felt experiences of them so that I would be confident enough to continue practicing the method by myself. This need was met. My need for fun and playful learning was met. My need for a safe and supporting space of learning was met. And my need to connect with other open-minded, heart-centred people was met. Ooh and my needs for yummy nutritious food and a stunning view of the ocean were met too. Tahnee W.
I walked through the process with Paulette and felt very supported, deeply connected to what was going on for me and guided ever so gently to a resolve.

TestimonialsI read the book written by Marshall Rosenberg before the workshop. The book was fabulous but for me, it was absolutely necessary to get the pracical application provided by Paulette. It made such a difference to my grasp of NVC and my confidence in using it. I wholeheartedly recommend Paulette's workshop.
Grace S. Gold Coast QLD The Foundation Training gave me a solid basis on which to practice the work at basic level. Instruction was clear and concise and clarification was given when requested. Sahar L

All my expectations were met through participating in this course. I am confident that I will be able to communicate with others, my partner, family and friends in a more loving , compassionate and empathic way. Learning this process has unblocked a blockage in my life that has hindered my growth and my ability to have healthy and fulfilling relationships. Paulette has been wonderful throughout the two days. An accomplished teacher, she made me feel at ease, safe and always positive and caring. I would recommend any person to partake in this training for a fulfilling and greater understanding of human communication, love and compassion. John P Murwillumbah |
