Simple Living Coach

Private coaching for the transition you cannot keep postponing.

A direct coaching path for people who want to simplify, make courageous decisions, and rebuild life around family, nature, meaningful work and spiritual direction.

What the work is for

This is not generic productivity coaching. It is support for people who can feel that the existing pattern is too heavy, too noisy or too misaligned to keep treating as normal.

The work helps you see clearly, reduce what drains you, choose honestly, and turn the next step into something practical enough to live.

Transformative Communication, not just better talking

Some people describe Transformative Communication as Nonviolent Communication on steroids. I would say it carefully: if NVC gives a clean language for feelings, needs and requests, Transformative Communication adds deeper layers of psychology, self-inquiry, relationship patterns, courageous ownership, purposeful action and spiritual grounding.

In practice, this means we do not only ask, “How can I say this more nicely?” We also ask: What am I attached to? What am I avoiding? What am I demanding from the other person? What truth am I not living? What would responsibility look like now?

This makes the work especially useful for life transitions, conflict, leadership pressure, family decisions, spiritual questions, and people who have already tried surface-level productivity or mindset advice and need something more honest.

Transformative Communication is referenced here as part of Bharat / Ben’s training background and approach. This page does not present Simple Living Coach coaching as official NVC training, or representing Satvatove certification training in all regards.

Need support?

If you are from Africa, Asia, South America, Eastern Europe, the Arab world, are just coming from school, have a less valuable currency, live as a monk, or are in a genuine service situation, you can ask for a supported rate.

In some cases, part of the exchange can also happen through service contribution inside the School of Simple Living community. This is agreed individually and honestly.
