Personal Profiles: Simon McKibbin aka Sinhaketu and Marta Fabregat
Simon:
I believe NVC learning should be fun with a strong element of community and sharing. I am also a certified trainer in the fields of Mindfulness and Focusing with 30 years of personal practise. Combining elements of Focusing and Mindfulness into the program adds a richness and depth allowing for a more embodied and deeper NVC experience.
Marta
Marta trained as a social and conflict resolution mediator, community development and facilitator, NVC and Focusing in nature, Forest connection and sacred plant healing, Marta’s experience in the art of hosting, holding space and healing in nature gives this course an exciting blend of elements to accompany the NVC process as a community and self healing adventure.
An Tionól Cottage´s natural environment, with the strong presence of an Irish oak forest and its respectful approach to learning, is the vessel that holds us together in any open circle. It is our intention to continue opening space for new, fresh ways of communicating, connecting and being in the world.
