Anna Górny-Bogulska
My name is Anna Górny-Bogulska and I have been conducting training in empathic communication in the spirit of NVC since 2020. I have a master's degree in pedagogy, a certified trainer of Minimediation using the SNO method, and a trainer of empathic communication in the spirit of NVC. I also write mediation fairy tales for children and lesson plans. In my private life, I am a mother of two daughters, I like hiking and dancing. I like people.
I invite both parents and teachers to the world of constructive communication based on needs. I can listen and accompany in finding solutions that bring tangible benefits, in the form of a world built on choice and acceptance.
My clients – parents and teachers – come to me for proven solutions that they can use from day one.
What I mean here is the 4-step message from Nonviolent Communication (NVC), Mini-mediation using the SNO method, Self-compassion (gentleness towards yourself) and the skills of building a happy brain (Neuroplasticity).
Danuta Sołowińska
For several years I have been working in a language school as a methodologist supporting teachers in building relationships with children.
In my role, I develop mentors’ relationship skills with children, focusing on techniques such as Nonviolent Communication (NVC), Empathy Teaching, Needs-Based Communication, and Relationship-Based Learning.
My experience is based on identifying strategies that enable opening space for solutions, supporting and creating a safe environment for children to develop.
I am a certified Social Skills Trainer, which allows me to take an even more holistic approach to education, focusing on developing social skills in children.
I am also currently studying clinical psychology, which enriches my view of children’s developmental processes and learning.
Privately, I am a mother of two girls, which inspires me to take a creative approach to working with children.
Apart from work and studies, my passions include art – I love pouring painting and working with epoxy resin.
I love spending time with my family and discovering the world through travel. For me, it is not only relaxation, but also a valuable life lesson and inspiration for new ideas.
Ewelina Adamczyk
I am a certified trainer of Mindfulness for children and youth using the Eline Snel Method at the Academy for Mindful Teaching, a trainer of Mini Mediation using the SNO method, a speaker at the Power Duets and the Education Congress of the University of Silesia, and the author of articles for the Natuli portal (Children are Important).
I completed the “Mindful School” teacher training course at the Polish Mindfulness Institute and the “Parenting with Mindfulness and Compassion” course at the Mindfulness Association Polska.
I share mindfulness with children and teenagers, teachers and parents during trainings, workshops and meetings, including the International Book Fair in Katowice and the Silesian Science Festival.
SUP boarding and hiking in forests and mountains provide me with an extraordinary space to develop my own Mindfulness practice, and I also invite other adults to do the same.
