In addition to her work as a Center for Nonviolent Communication (CNVC) Certified Trainer, Gesine Schrader is a Montessori-certified teacher living in Bristol, the United Kingdom. For the past nine years she has been facilitating NVC events, accompanied sometimes by Certified Trainer, Shantigarbha, in the U.K., India, the USA, and Germany. Gesine is passionate about her work and how it encourages self-development, conflict resolution, and community building. She is actively involved in different kinds of NVC projects, for example, supporting a home school and a community orchard in Bristol, offering nonviolent clowning in cooperation with Holly Stoppit (clown therapy), and Embodied NVC in cooperation with Filip Kijowski (dance choreographer). When she is not working, Gesine enjoys being out in nature, whether that is going for walks, wild swims, or doing projects in the garden.
