Brief description: Clean Language is a coaching / therapeutic method, developed in the 1980s by David Grove. 'Clean' refers to the coach's desire not to allow their assumptions or judgements into the conversation. Instead, the coach uses 'clean questions' to enable the client to explore what's behind their own language.

The evening is in two parts:

7.15 pm - 7.40pm    New Member Orientation
A short introduction to Clean Language - for beginners or anyone who wants a quick refresher. You'll receive a booklet with information about the group and about Clean Language.

7.45pm - 9.45pm    Main Meeting
During this part of the meeting, we try to make sure that people with similar skill levels can work together. Beginners can observe until they are comfortable joining in.
