Workshop Details

4 hour masterclass

Have you ever found yourself stuck for words or feeling like you can’t stop pushing someone to hear you?  Really connecting to someone on a heart-level involves an awareness of how to create a nourishing, safe space where each of you feels open to listening and/or speaking. This is quite an art form and one worth putting time into learning how to create, so I am thrilled to share insights and delve into this art form in further detail during the workshop.

Martin Buber said that relationship lives in the space between us. When we don’t know about this space we might pollute it with a word or a reaction and as a result, the space may become unsafe. Some people might become louder in this space and some may become quieter.

The various intricate ways in which we communicate with each other and form connections often has much to do with your attachment style and how your nervous system is responding to someone. The session will illuminate the role of self-awareness in communication. Recognising one’s own emotions, triggers, and patterns is pivotal for constructive interactions. In this workshop, I will be sharing how to slow down and be more connected with yourself using the mediative technique of Hedy Schliefer and the guiding inquiries from Harville Hendrix.
