I as born in Bogotá, Colombia, in 1954, and came to Germany at the age of eleven. In Hamburg, I studied German and Geography, and later on opened together with my husband a Yoga center. I am married since 1984 and have two grown up children and a grandchild. NVC turned out to be the missing piece in my life, after I had found Kundalini Yoga in my twenties and totally immersed in that practice, which gave me stability and stamina. NVC opened the window to understand myself on a deeper level and free myself of addictive, submissive behavior and become authentic and self-reliant. I realised that I was longing for deep, compassionate connections, and found the access by allowing my own feelings and needs - and those of others. I love offering workshops and retreats around NVC and yoga, and accompany others in their processes of becoming who they can be. Life is such a miracle again and again, and it is such a joy to contribute to it’s unfolding and to peace. I am ever grateful to Marshall Rosenberg and all the other trainers and ambassadors of NVC – we are creating the change that we want to see in the world. Further training courses have supplemented and rounded off my spectrum over the years: - Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training Level 1-3, a Teacher Trainer myself - Bereavement and Terminal Care - Family and System Constellation According to Hellinger - Intensive Meditation Retreats - Psychodynamic Imaginative Trauma Therapy I founded the Hamburger Institut für Gewaltfreie Kommunikation and offer free seminars and trainings mostly in Northern Germany, often together with my colleagues. ### Related - [ **Germany May 2025** (International Intensive Training) ](https://www.cnvc.org/learn/iit/2025-05-23-iit-germany) - [ **Romania 2024** (International Intensive Training) ](https://www.cnvc.org/learn/iit/2024-07-04-iit-romania) - [ **Gewaltfreie Kommunikation für Paare | 9-Tage-Retreat auf Paros** (Trainer Event 10-03-2026) ](https://www.cnvc.org/learn/events/gewaltfreie-kommunikation-fuer-paare-9-tage-retreat-auf-paros-2026-10-03-18-00-00) Share this page: - [](mailto:?body=Hi%20check%20out%20this%20trainer%21&subject=Check%20out%20this%20Certified%20Trainer%20with%20the%20Center%20for%20Nonviolent%20Communication%21) - [](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnvc.org%2Ftrainers%2Fsimran-wester "Share on Facebook") - [](https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnvc.org%2Ftrainers%2Fsimran-wester "Share on Whatsapp") - [](https://x.com/intent/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnvc.org%2Ftrainers%2Fsimran-wester&text= "Share on Twitter") - [](https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnvc.org%2Ftrainers%2Fsimran-wester "Share on Linkedin") - [](http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnvc.org%2Ftrainers%2Fsimran-wester "share on Pinterest") ### TRAINING FOCUS: - Conflict Resolution - Counseling & Coaching - Mind-Body-Spirit - Parenting & Family - Social Change [ Trainer's Website ](https://www.gewaltfrei-kommunizieren.hamburg/) We are the change we want to see in the world.
