Developing kindness and compassion for self and others helps us to create meaningful and caring relationships and live happier, healthier lives.
Filippa Araki
– creator of The Compassion Lounge
Compassionate Communication or Nonviolent Communication has become a way of life for me. It’s a way of connecting with others with more intimacy and authenticity, a way of being able to stay present with people and with myself, through the hard times as well as the joyful times. NVC has been instrumental in my healing and growth and sharing this with others through workshops and coaching is what I most love to do.
This work has been absolutely transformational for me, which is why I’m now so passionate about sharing it with other people.
Meghan Kurts-Forrester – Evohe Skin Care
When Meghan Kurts-Forrester, the founder and CEO of EVOHE – an ethical skincare company, first started The Compassion Process, she was in a very dark place and struggling to cope with all the curve balls that life was throwing at her.
Through developing a practice of self-compassion, learning more effective communication skills, and working to transform her inner critic into her inner best friend, Meghan is now a much happier, stronger and more resilient person.
Filippa has guided me through so many big experiences in my life. As a wilderness guide, I wouldn’t want anyone else walking beside me.
Strong Inner Critic?
Research has shown that people with a strong inner critic, high shame, or low self-esteem have much lower health and success outcomes. Learn processes for working with your inner critic and becoming your own best friend. How you talk to yourself has a direct effect on how you relate to others. Befriend yourself and transform your life. Take my online “Transform Your Inner Critic” Course and/or book in for some personal Inner Critic Transformation 1-1 coaching sessions.

“The course gave me a sense that it was safe to drop into my body and experience where those feelings were and then express from a different place rather than where I used to express from.”

Profound Results
“I experienced profound results with Compassionate Communication in my personal relationship and was very fortunate to have Filippa support my partner and I directly with this process. We continue to use it as the base for all of our communication, especially the “tricky” stuff.
I soon realised that on a business level, Compassionate Communication could benefit my whole team and so I asked Filippa to run a weekly series with my staff. I soon noticed a more conscious connection in how we communicated with each other, and there was a level of clarity that we had never had before. Now, when issues arise, we have a clear course of action through using NVC techniques and resolutions can be found naturally and easily.
I believe the practice of conscious, compassionate communication can change our world from the ground up.”

Life Changing
“I have completed the ‘Dissolving Enemy Images’, and the ‘Compassionate Communication 2 day training in NVC’, the culmination of these experiences has been a life changing journey. Filippa provides an unwaveringly safe space to explore concepts that reframe the foundations of the way we think and feel, and how we can take responsibility for our needs and they way we communicate. In these workshops we entered a vulnerable and transformational space, brimming with new knowledge and insight into the way we perceive our thoughts and feelings, the feelings of others, how to navigate where these intersect, and the way we relate, love, share and be with one another. Filippa holds a steady and deeply compassionate space for participants to learn vital communication and relating skills, gaining pivotal tools that reshape the way we interact with our internal landscape and others. This training has provided foundations for life long journey of self-understanding and communication, already greatly impacting my relationship with myself, my friends and family.”
Hannah Bradbury, Gold Coast Australia

“I felt very comfortable, supported and engaged. Filippa allowed people the space to talk and express what was going on for them. In facilitating the training, she gave the perfect amount of guidance – never pushy – never judgemental, never shaming – just perfect, gentle guidance.”
——————————————————————————
“Filippa was extremely sensitive to dealing with questions and concerns. Being one of the slower members of the group, I could easily have expected to not have my needs met – but the reverse happened. Without slowing the whole group down, she was able to see everyone’s needs were met – excellent teacher.”
——————————————————————————
“I would just like to thank you for arriving in my life at a very pivotal point. Your strong message and belief in compassionate communication and its potential as a life changer has really inspired me to think more about what is important in my life as well as to focus more on engaging with my emotional self. I have already seen some positive developments in my relationships with others and I can slowly let go of a cluttered mind, to one of peace and clarity.”

“Filippa has a very warm and caring approach and because she shared her personal experiences freely, this developed a bond with participants that contributed greatly to the effectiveness of the course.”
—————————————————————————–
“Sharing of personal thoughts and feelings is a challenge and not encouraged in everyday life; thus, it is a credit to Filippa’s approach and high standards that this was done in a safe and confidential way.”
—————————————————————————–
“I felt very comfortable and connected. Filippa managed to create a very safe space for us all to share. I am not sure how she created such an intimate space between a group of (mostly) strangers, yet she did! I think what really made the difference is that Filippa embodied the work, spoke openly with her own examples, and was really an example of a goal to reach. It was a course that definitely met my needs and expectations for growth, connection, fun, learning and so much more!”
—————————————————————————–
Really beautifully organised and delivered. Well-timed, calm, clear, inclusive, diversely and originally delivered with great resources in a dynamic way. Fun and engaging. Filippa’s vulnerability, sharing , generosity, flexibility and relaxed style was really enjoyable.
