Tools for Honest Conversations and Authentic Relationships

Welcome! I’m interested in how we navigate our relationships – whether with ourselves, our loved ones, or our wider communities. I keep wondering how open and honest connection can be possible, even when challenges arise. 

If you recognize yourself in one or more of the questions below, you might find this training helpful.

  • Have you ever struggled to start a conversation that feels too delicate to approach?

  • Do you sometimes feel stuck, as if you and others are on entirely different wavelengths?

  • Do you long to express yourself honestly, in a way that others can truly hear?

  • Have you tried setting boundaries with your children but felt unsure of how to do it with compassion?

  • Would you like to explore alternatives to punitive measures for those moments when you don’t know what else to do?

  • Have you ever wished to feel more equal to your boss, despite the difference in roles?

What Participants Are Saying
{

I felt encouraged and hopeful that I would eventually be able to express myself the way I’ve always wanted. Sabine provided meaningful examples and feedback, giving me tools to adapt this process to any situation.

{

After day 1 of the training, my way of thinking about communication changed. I already implemented the skills shared during the session. I was open with my family about trying a different way of communication with them, and they were open to my suggestions.

{

I felt very comfortable with the training and with the group, which was amazing as we had only just met the night before. I think Sabine put us at ease and set the tone for the training as relaxed and a safe space. I was unsure about the process when I went into the training but left feeling this is something that I would find useful in my day to day life.

{

It was super helpful! I have read the NVC book before, and I found the hands-on intro session to bring the concepts to life. I also found the atmosphere to be safe, comfortable, and fun.

{

I wish I would have had this training 40 years ago. It felt like a safe space to learn new skills, thanks to Sabine’s gentle facilitation.

{

I felt that my whole self was genuinely welcome to be there and even on days when I was tired or had a lot on my mind, I still felt like I could be fully present because she created a space where our true selves were welcome.

{

I was very satisfied with how Sabine presented the materials: she was so well-prepared that she was able to give us a wealth of insight in each session without it ever feeling like we were rushed for time. She knew just what we could accomplish in our set amount of time and then executed it flawlessly. She was aware of time without making the session feel stressful or rushed.

{

This training was incredibly helpful. Even after just one session, I was already thinking about my own patterns and assumptions differently. It was like I had a new pair of glasses and could see details about my own life that I had been missing all along. And what I subsequently learned at the remainder of the sessions proved equally as helpful – for my own inner life, but also for my relationships with my friends and family and partner.
