Priyanka Sharma

PUPA Focusing Trainee Priyanka Sharma is a facilitator and coach helping people to connect with themselves and others using Nonviolent Communication and Focusing.

Hi, I’m Priyanka and I guide people through their inner landscapes to connect deeply with themselves and the world around them by resolving internal and external conflicts. I believe that when we resolve these conflicts we can move forward to live our best lives.

I am a PUPA Trainee to become a focusing teacher and also a Certification Candidate at the Centre for Nonviolent Communication (CNVC). I use focusing and Nonviolent Communication in my work as a conflict coach and mediator. As a Work that Reconnects Facilitator, I provide space for people to reconnect with their inner calling around climate activism and systems change.

What really brought me to focusing was my fear of conflicts. Focusing gave me the inner knowing and connection that I needed with myself to look at my fears and transform them into gold – the alchemy of inner transformation. This also had an impact on my external world, reverberating and reflecting this healing in all my relationships. Healing inner conflicts through the body’s inner knowing, for me always has a numinous quality too it – something so magical that I cannot describe it fully.

I am deeply inspired by the teachings of the Buddha and mindfulness and meditation have been an integral part of my life for many years now. Currently, I am studying to be a Buddhist Chaplain in Peace and Conflict. I hope to support peace in the world and in people’s heart with the help of spirituality. I am also a lecturer in Matriarchal studies and learning from the matriarchal people about living in a compassionate society, has been one of the greatest honours of my life.
