Presentations, workshops, publications

All sorts of workshops are possible and have been offered successfully in the past:


  • workshop Invitation to an exciting exploratory journey - destination: your Self is an all-day workshop that helps answer four questions: Who am I? What do I stand for? Where do I come from? Where do I go? This workshop provides an interesting mix of theory and practice, reflection and creativity, with attention to personal safety as well as freedom to explore and stretch one's individual comfort zone; the extensive Reader can be a valuable tool for further reflection and encouragement.
  • workshop Stress and Resilience - a new all-day workshop that provides relevant theory about stress, then an extensive personal stress scoring grid that will give a very clear overview of which areas show scores of: optimal, balance, strain or burnout. In the 2nd part, methods can be explored to prevent or alleviate stress or tension and find better ways to handle stress and conflict. The practical Stressmap and Workbook 'New Directions' can be taken home for further use.
  • evening workshop Better conflict management offers opportunity to explore relevant topics: meaning of conflict, conflict in theory and practice, sharing experiences and questions, practising an effective approach.
  • evening workshop Conflicts in partner relationships; from fight/flight to dialogue that offers opportunity to explore why arguments so often lead to escalation of difficulties rather than to solutions and how that can be changed.

All workshops can provide PE/study points (state your interest in advance) and all participants receive a signed, numbered certificate, as well as a reader or relevant handouts.
