Transformative Communication 1 — Porto.
A 4-day in-person seminar in Porto for practicing deeper listening, honest expression, feedback, responsibility and communication as a path of self-realization.
Date, place and format
A communication- and relationship-centred path to self-realisation and personal growth
Transformative Communication is an intensive, experiential seminar for people who want to communicate, relate and act with greater awareness, courage and purpose. Rather than treating communication as a set of techniques alone, the seminar uses communication and relationships as pathways to self-discovery, personal growth and meaningful action.
- Experiential presentations, exercises, activities and small-group processes.
- Practice in listening, honest expression, conflict resolution, cooperation and assertiveness.
- Communication, relationship, leadership and practical life skills.
- A supportive group atmosphere designed to encourage trust, openness and genuine connection.
