Council Training

“Council” is a contemporary community-building, non-violent form of communication in groups that focuses on listening.

Council is an expression of an attitude that invites presence and mindfulness in the relationship with oneself, with others and with nature. Council offers teams, organizations and groups of all kinds a highly effective means of shaping processes, crises and conflicts, as well as appreciating what has been achieved. It is an effective and proven means of building sustainable communities and finding answers that are already in the field of the group.

The Ojai Foundation in California has led “Council” into community development, from the executive floors to the classrooms, in decades of research and practice.

In cooperation with the Ojai Foundation (www.ojaifoundation.org), the Eschwege Institute and its training academy Campus Peregrini offer annual council seminars and trainings (in German and English language), as part of the training curriculum to become a Council Facilitator.

The heads of the institute, Holger & Gesa Heiten are recognized council trainers and offer council seminars internationaly.
