Here are some of the friends and communities of friends who support me in this work:

Seed of Peace and the wider NVC community – Gesine and Shantigharba are certified nonviolent communication trainers. I have experienced their wisdom and compassion on their NVC year training and community camp. We have also brought NVC to Bath through hosting Gesine to teach a weekend introductory workshop.

Chris Johnstone – Highly experienced Work that Reconnects practitioner, trainer and writer, who has encouraged and supported me to begin writing about the WTR.

Madeleine Young – My Work that Reconnects training collaborator, and a supportive, loving human.
