What We Offer

“Working with Wayne and Deb has been such a breath of fresh air. After 7 years of psychotherapy and then training and practising as a psychotherapist, I thought there was little to learn ,but they seem to be able to really help cut out the noise and get straight to the point. A very safe, welcoming environment that never failed to create movement and authenticity” – Simon Banks

Empathy Workshops

One of the most life serving skills we can learn is empathy.  A way to empower ourselves and others to create productive, worthwhile, friendships and relationships. 

This one day programme is designed to give people the competence and confidence to go out and use empathic communication everyday in all situations. 

We will  provide  facilitation and activities that will give the participants the opportunity to learn and practice the art of becoming a “Street Giraffe.”  That is effective without sounding like a automated NVC machine.

Next  workshop dates – TBA
