Making everyday Relationships more wonderful
EXPERIENTIAL WORKSHOPS

WHAT IS SPEAKING, HEARING AND THINKING PEACE?
Though we are unaware of it, we all share basic Universal human needs, or inner motivators e.g. safety, trust, sustainability, understanding, acceptance, friendship, caring, support, harmony, ease, fun, peace etc., but sadly we often use tragic, painful strategies to meet these life serving needs.
Also, most of us have been taught from birth to judge, diagnose, blame and demand; to think and communicate in terms of what is ‘right’ and ‘wrong’, with ourselves and with others.

These often habitual ways that we think, hear and speak can create misunderstanding leading to hurt feelings, anger, disconnection, stress, loneliness, depression and verbal or even physical violence.

SPEAKING, HEARING AND THINKING PEACE
Focusing on human needs, our own and others, creates more likelihood that we will build connection. Even in the most difficult of situations this can be a bridge to understanding and hope.

RACHEL MONDE is passionate about supporting you in learning how to experience peace. It is possible to enrich your life; with yourself, with others and enrich the lives of those around you.

Speaking Peace, Hearing Peace

Rachel Monde has been a trainer in a variety of fields since she was 15 years old. She has studied and practiced “speaking, hearing and thinking peace” (NVC) intensely since 2004.

Deep listening, connection and caring is the foundation of Rachel’s Peace Coaching.
Rachel brings her own gifts to her work: deep caring, humour, and a passion for personal growth and nurturing hope, which has lead her to create innovative workshops with a ‘teaching’ style based in experiential learning.
Rachel’s life premise is that it is possible to enrich our lives, with ourselves, with others, and to enrich the lives of those around us.
I am really looking forward to connecting, supporting, playing and exploring together.
