We welcome everyone with any level of experience, training or just interest in NLP, from the vaguely curious to master practitioners and trainers. We all have something to learn by exploring NLP related topics with like minded people, be they practitioners, business trainers, coaches, teachers or other people who may have heard a little about NLP and just want to learn more.

Since we set up the group in 1996, we have met regularly in Colchester and held practice and information workshops on a monthly or more frequent basis. This probably makes us the longest continually running and independent NLP Group in the UK. We are not aligned to or supported by specific NLP training school.

Our main aim is to provide a regular opportunity to review, develop and practice NLP skills and understanding. The atmosphere is informal and topics are pitched at a level that is understandable for all. Over the years many newcomers have first 'cut their NLP teeth' with us. We like to put emphasis on turning what we learn into practical use in our daily personal or work lives. We also hold sessions of broader interest on related topics.

We do not have a formal membership list and everyone is welcome to attend whenever and as often as they wish. If you are on our email list you will be notified of meeting topics etc, usually at least a week or more in advance. It is not essential to let us know in advance if you want to attend, but it is helpful if you let me to know so I have a idea of approximate numbers in advance.

Our group is one of a national network of NLP groups in the UK. For listings and information on other groups see the Association of NLP ANLP.

Our events are public workshops that often can help individuals on their journey of personal development. However please note that some of us are professionally qualified to help individuals with personal issues and can arrange more formal private therapy sessions, if needed.

We meet on the 4th Monday of each month (except for late July/August, Christmas and bank holidays) at the Friends Meeting House, 6 Church Street, Colchester CO1 1NF (Click for map)

The Meeting House is in the centre of Colchester, close to the Mercury Theatre and the Jumbo Watertower. Best parking is in St Mary's Car Park just over the footbridge on Balkerne Hill. (N.B. Beware of parking on the double yellow lines around there; the traffic wardens are pretty strict, whatever the time of day or night!)

Meetingroom doors are open by 7.15 p.m.
Join us for free refreshment and networking before we start the main session at 7.30. We aim to end at around 9.30.

We ask for a contribution towards costs of £7.00 per meeting on the door, with discounts for 'season tickets'. Concessions are also available, please ask.

If you are not on our email list and would like regular reminders and updates, drop us an email and we will add your name.

Please call me if you would like additional details: 01473 410521 or my mobile 07710 781782.
