Love Relationships
Exploring and manifesting the potential of sexuality
-
Do you long to have a deeper connection with yourself, your body, your sexuality and your inner wisdom?
-
Do you long for meaningful, passionate and loving relationships that deepen and grow over time?
-
Do you want to enter new areas of honesty, intimacy and love?
-
Do you find it difficult to open up to love? To give and to receive love?
-
Do you have a sense that there is more to sexuality and do you feel ready to explore?
-
Are you fed up with conflicts, guilt games, doubts and fears that seem to prevent your love relationship from flourishing?
This is a 9 weeks online course for NVC lovers who like to dive into the theme of sexuality, honesty and relationships.
We will explore
-
Safety, what it means to you and how we can create it (in the course, in intimacy, in sex and in love/relationships)
-
Our ‘shoulds’ and ‘have to’s’ in sex and how to move into a direction of sexuality that is welcoming whatever is there.
-
How your sexuality can be a doorway to an empowering, loving, healing force.
-
Self-connection in movement, stillness, alone, together, in dialogue and in lovemaking.
-
Masculine and feminine - from differences to complementary.
-
The art of making love, how we can cultivate love through sex.
-
The art of Dialogue: How to use a dialogue for growth, healing and creation.
-
Savouring our pleasurable experiences.
-
How to liberate myself from guilt.
-
The art of Mourning. How pain can be the door to my power and growth.
-
Sensing/sensitivity/sensuality - how to heighten the capacity of your sensory mechanisms as a door to lifelines.
-
Celebration and Appreciation - The fuel for LOVE & LIFE.
-
Moving from focussing on ‘doing’ in sex to focussing on ‘being’, in sex.
-
and more.
What to expect
☆ Choice! Nothing in this course is obligatory. The focus is on self-connection, getting to know your longings, your YES and your NO.
☆ A safe space to share and be held in all that arises.
☆ Guided, silent and active body and mind practices, to grow self-connection, sensuality and sensitivity.
☆ Group time where we can share our mournings and celebrations to learn from each other and create community connection.
For
Everyone with a min. of 30 hours of NVC training (If you have questions or doubts about your level of experience you are very welcome to contact us). This is because we will not teach the basics of NVC. If you like first to learn the basics of NVC you might want to do the Intimate Relationships course.

I was introduced to NVC by attending a workshop of Marshall Rosenberg’s in 2008. I was completely touched by his message. As if by accident I discovered a secret manual about how to live life.
Marshall’s principles on self-expression and listening to myself and others at first seemed so radically different from how I was educated. So different, that I thought this will never be realised for me, at least not in this lifetime!
Without much expectation I started to follow courses, the result being that I have been practicing NVC ever since. Now I teach NVC and I give private sessions and mediations.
I was born in Holland and teach in English and Dutch. I’m also a cellist and composer, an Alexander Technique teacher and a cook.

I’m passionate about re-sensitizing and trusting my body, to follow her innate wisdom. Yet it’s not something I have learned while growing up. How to listen to my pain?
When I finished the art academy in 2009 I was feeling confused, insecure and too afraid to create anything…
I started practicing and teaching Yoga & Meditation. That brought a big shift in the relationship I had with my body; for the first time I started to hear her, notice how she was constantly talking to me. I became more aware of my thoughts too, that was confronting! The way I talked to myself created so much pain: “You are so dom”, “Again you didn’t finish your to-do list!” etc.
When I met NVC in 2014 I had a profound experience: “Life is not about feeling good. Instead my feelings are there to care for me.” This brought a sense of: “I’m welcome as I’m”. I finally got the clarity on how to connect to life in me and in others. This clarity is making my life worth living, supporting me daily in connection with my children, my partner and myself!
In 2018 when my relationship ended, I started teaching NVC and supporting couples and individuals. It made me realise many human-beings struggle in their relationships: (Unspoken) shame, guilt, expectations etc. seem to kill love and sexuality. Yet I also realised that deep down most human-beings long for a relationship where they feel fully seen, loved and supported. I find sexuality such a powerful and potent energy, I feel passionate to listen to the shame, fear, guilt and longings we might carry around sexuality and how we can use our sexual energy not only for pleasure but also to make love that reaches beyond the bedroom into all areas of our life.
