Beth Silverbirch
I feel enormously privileged to be a co-founder and director of Abundant Earth for the last 20 years. Together, with this land we have created an abundance of opportunities for people to connect with themselves, each other and learn new skills. One of my main focuses here has been growing vegetables and salads for our vegetable box scheme and managing volunteers in our gardens.
Since 2015 I have been training as a Nonviolent Communication Trainer and now that I am certified I have moved away from growing food to being available in supporting individuals, couples and organisations with how they relate to themselves and one another. I am also available for public speaking.
Coaching and training in empathy and communication
Beth’s Offerings
Nonviolent Communication (NVC)
Nonviolent Communication or NVC is an approach to life. This approach invites us to cultivate compassion towards ourselves and others, bringing increased clarity, authenticity, connection and joy. However, it is so much more than good intentions! There are techniques and an un-learning of the way we are used to relating!
It is a practice and a re-wiring that can bring enormous benefits that are rich and meaningful. The Founder of NVC Dr Marshal Rosenberg, observed the many ways that lead us into pain and difficulties because of how we think and relate to one another. These experiences are shared across most of our global cultures and embedded in our systems.
Personal Relationships
Receive empathy, explore your inner landscape, reveal relationship dynamics: 1:1 coaching, couples, families, Team leaders.
Leaders, Teams & Community Organisations
Increase your organisation's emotional intelligence and capacity to respond to conflict. Create a culture of empathy, collaboration, and brilliance.
Supported conversations, mediation & conflict systems
Conflict that is supported professionally is transformative. My associates and I create containers to enable people to express, be heard and find the next steps in moving forward. This can be a supported conversation between 2 people or a restorative system within an organisation.
Workshops
I deliver regular workshops at Abundant Earth close to Durham city and online. So if you’re ready to see yourself and the world through a different lens, come and join in.
