“We learn by doing, there is no other way.”
John Holt
Trainings are intensive experiences in a group, which can last from 1 to 10 days, mostly in residential setting: you are sleeping in the same house, eating together and having activities together.
Methodolody: experiential methodology also known as “Learning by Doing”
You can join any group, it is mostly made of people from various backgrounds and of various ages, who do not know each other from before and are there for personal development and because they are interested in the topic the training is about.
The trainings are experiential, which means that priority is given to various groups activities: guided games, exercises, processes in the topic of the training, groups sharings and reflection. Some of the activities include all group, others are in small group, trios, couples, or sometimes individual. In the training you are a protagonist, who is acting, experiencing and learning from that experience and from the result of your actions by reflection and by giving meaning to it. There are also theoretical parts of the training according to the topic, but also here our goal is to make them as interactive as possible, so it is not passive listening. At times we have coaching sessions in the group contest- if you have your personal question you want
to work out, you can do it with the trainer, team and the group supporting you.
Each training is unique and special.. come to experience it! You can see the upcoming trainings here.
I usually work with another trainer and a team who assist in the activities.
These are the trainings that I’m offering:
- Conflict transformation: interpersonal and inner conflicts (separate trainings: using storytelling as a tool, using Empathic Communication as a tool or using a mix of experiential learning exercises as a tool): the birth of conflicts, needs and beliefs in conflicts, 4 patterns of reacting to conflicts. The usefulness and lessons of conflicts. Win-win approach. Empathic communication with ourselves and others. How to create a shift and transformation in conflicts: various tools.

I design and implement trainings bringing a second trainer and support team also by request,
if you already have a group that could use a training in topics of personal development,
together we can talk about the needs of the group and adjust the content specifically to them
