"Language of Trust" details
Compassionate Conflict Communication Course - 6 weeks ONLINE
With popular demand, positive feedback and encouragement, I offer you a fourth edition of this course!...
Tired of playing "who’s right and who’s wrong"?
How can we move beyond "us versus them"?
In this modern world risking polarisation, isolation, and violent conflict, is there another way besides the age old tradition of moralistic judgement, domination systems, and violence through punishment & reward?
I want to offer a practical path of tools and principles towards mutual understanding and everyone mattering. For several years I have applied and shared the work of Marshall B Rosenberg; Nonviolent Communication. A communication approach I have found simple yet revolutionary; 'natural' yet incredibly difficult. So I choose to share it with you well before I've 'mastered' it, and bring it to life with my own experiences, exercises and a lot of practice.
We will meet weekly ONLINE for 6 weeks (8th January to 12th February).
Each Wednesday from 19:30 to 22:00 CET, with ample breaks to eat, rest, move, etc.
(Note: UK time is 18:30 to 21:00 GMT)
Additionally, you will each be offered at least 30mins 1 to 1 session time with me ; to experience first hand the power of empathy, practice the skills you are learning in the course, or dive in to any questions/queries coming up for you.
Let's learn a new language together - a Language of Trust.
I'll meet you there.

How much does it COST?...
I offer this course as a 'gift'; for the joy of sharing something meaningful to me and which I trust will be of use to you. And in giving it freely, I would love your support in two ways:
1. To sustainably live and continue to offer this work to others - I request a donation in the range of £60-£250 per person before the course begins. You decide how much you would like to give based on your resourcefulness and what would feel like a meaningful commitment to your growth & learning.
If it is difficult for you to afford a contribution in that range, you are still welcome, so please let us know!
(Read more about me & money in the "Money" page of this website.)
2. For depth of learning, I will set a limit to the number of participants and aim to fill the spaces. If you book, I would like you to make your best effort to attend all the sessions and let me know as early as possible if you cannot attend or want to cancel your booking. That way someone else can have the chance to join instead.

A weekly space to meet Elia for empathy, support or advice. Particularly in the field of relationships, conflicts, or personal challenges. Drop in with your pains, troubles, insecurities, or partner! We'll dedicate time for understanding and healing, or you can come to observe and learn.
For now this offering is 'paused' to care for Elia's energy.
Contact to ask more about it, or request a 1 to 1 support session.
Dare to join the experiment and find out what people really think and feel? I invite you to a 3 week online experience about honestly and vulnerably sharing our feelings, judgments, dreams, fears, and all the other things we learned to hide. I will host games, topics and dynamics inspired Authentic Relating and Radical Honesty.
This offering has been and gone.
