Previous Participant:
​
"These two days spent with Donal and the group were life affirming, enjoyable and enlightening.
Donal is an expert facilitator who covers a lot of material in a very short time, but through a variety of methods manages to keep the group engaged throughout. I learnt a lot about my modes of engagement/communication both with myself and others and look forward to being more mindful and effective as a communicator as a result.
​
Donal manages to deliver intensive material in an understandable and embodied manner.
I learned so much about modes of communication (both internal and with others) that I feel will be of value moving forward. Highly recommend the trainings if you have any interest in how you interact with yourself and others."

Training Content
Each training is standalone and independent of the other, so there are no overlaps or succession of content. At the same time, the natural accumulation of related skills means attending more trainings brings even more benefit.
No previous training experience required.
​
We bring the most essential principles and practices together, making it accessible and useful for everyone. The life skills we’ve always needed, but never received.
​
We balance teaching, practicing and facilitating individual and group processes, games, role plays, exercises, meditations and body/gesture based activities.
​
We learn and practice together, so we can support each other to apply it in our lives and share with others.
​
So, expect insights and heart opening; lots of fun and laughter; maybe tears and surfaced fears; building new friendships, community and supportive network. And all within a sweet, safe and cosy group field, so we feel held and cared for along our transformative journey.
