Barbara with Foster Walker, her life partner of over 20 years.
Certified Professional Coach, NVC Facilitator, long-time mindfulness, meditation and yoga practitioner, Barbara blends her extensive training in Nonviolent Communication, NVC, together with her passion to share the journey of transforming ourselves, our relationships, and the world we live in.
Barbara says: “The work I offer arises from my faith in our capacity to access the very wellspring of love, this transforming all aspects of our daily living. I enjoy interactive approaches that cultivate attunement with our inner life, bringing attention to our feelings, our mindset, our deepest longings, the core of Being. It is in the practice of embodied, inter-relational mindfulness and presence that we reclaim our humanity – our intimacy with ourselves, each other and with all life.“
Quotes from some of my key mentors
It’s against our nature to be anything less than connected with people.
~Byron Katie, author, Loving What Is, www.thework.org
“Spirituality is at the base of Nonviolent Communication… it’s more than a communication process. It’s really a spiritual practice that I am trying to show as a way of life“
~ Dr. Marshall B. Rosenberg www.cnvc.org
“Bringing about peaceful change begins with working on our own mindsets,
on the way we view ourselves and others, on the way we get our needs met.”
~ Dr. Marshall B. Rosenberg, founder of the Center for Nonviolent Communication,
“The quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives.”
~ Esther Perel, author, therapist, speaker www.estherperel.com
“Our species is undergoing an unprecedented transformation. The determination to explore every aspect of consciousness, and to cultivate what contributes most to Life, is replacing the drive to bury painful emotions. This requires emotional awareness.” ~ Gary Zukav and Linda Francis, The Heart of the Soul: Emotional Awareness www.seatofthesoul.com
“All you need to is to be aware of your feelings and thoughts – as they happen. This is not really a ‘doing’ but an alert ‘seeing’ … the shift from thinking to awareness.”
~Eckhart Tolle www.eckharttolle.com
“Truth is found in the mirror of relationship.”
~J. Krishnamurti www.jkrishnamurti.org
