Want to bag a bargain? You could start your Clean Language training next month for a fraction of the normal price by joining the Ebay auction. Selling a seven-day training via the online auction site is a little unusual - the site is better known as the place to shop for concert tickets and collectables. But we’ve recently been experimenting with the site for selling Clean Change Cards and CDs, so when we realised we still had some spaces on our course from 9 - 15 October in London, we thought, ‘Why not?’ As I write the price stands at just £3… who’ll be the lucky buyer?

I recently discovered a blog that claimed “You can learn Clean Language in five minutes!” The anonymous author said he’d got great results with Clean, just from reading the questions online. I can relate to that: I remember that when I first came across the Clean Language questions and started experimenting, without training, I found they would uncover new levels of information for whoever I was working with. Then I trained with Wendy Sullivan and my eyes were opened again - what I’d thought were great results were just the merest glimpses of what was possible using this amazing approach. >>> To read the full article click here
