Skills and practices for authentic communication
Authentic communication allows us to interact with each other honestly and sincerely. It is about listening to your inner voices and daring to express your true thoughts, feelings, and needs without wearing masks or facades. In this seminar we offer a space, where you can explore your personal authentic communication and learn tools how to listen inside and outside.
