 [ READ IN TRAINER'S PRIMARY LANGUAGE ](#in-primary-language)

NVC stands for me as the practice of adopting an attitude that helps me stand authentically in life.

"Social change" begins with myself and requires community at the same time. It's always about the success of genuine and empathetic encounters.

For me, this is also a spiritual question: How can I visibly live as a Christian – in all beauty, in all brokenness, in all seeking?

I work on this as an individual, both in consultation and workshops, as well as with others.

#  Trainer's primary language

GFK steht für mich für die Einübung in die Haltung, die mir hilft authentisch im Leben zu stehen.

„Social change“ fängt bei mir selbst an und braucht zugleich Gemeinschaft. Immer geht es dabei um das Gelingen echter und empathischer Begegnungen.

Für mich ist dies gerade auch eine geistliche Frage:
Wie kann ich erkennbar als Christ leben – in aller Schönheit, in aller Gebrochenheit, in aller Suche?

Daran arbeite ich als Einzelner, wie mit anderen in Beratung und Workshops.
