About us

Teresa Heidegger is an educationalist, sociologist and certified trainer in nonviolent communication. Her interest has always been the political question of how transformation in society can take place. After years of grappling with this topic, she came to the conclusion that sustainable societal change needs to be rooted in radical love of every individual to him- or herself.

In 2008, she founded gewaltfrei glücklich, a “platform to increase our revolutionary potential and self-empowerment”. Since then, she has been working with individuals who are interested in self-exploration and awareness development. The focus of her work is how we can stop using a subtle form of violence out of emotional immaturity. Violence against ourselves and against others, especially our children and the earth. She coaches individuals and teams, who are ready to realise such a paradigm shift and to contribute to outer transformation.

After giving birth to her son in 2011, she began extending the focus of this inner change of consciousness to being a parent and to people with children. Together with Kirsten Timmer, she founded and developed the training institute TransParents for parents and educationalists in 2015.

“For me, conscious parenting requires that we grow up inside, which means being able to differentiate when we act out of unintegrated aspects of ourselves and when we are truly in the here and now. Only when we as parents lovingly begin to turn to the parts in ourselves which have brought us pain and fear as children, will we be able to give our children true safety and security, rather than being ruled by our automatic reaction patterns over and over again. No one enacts (subtle) violence against their child out of a lack of love, but only ever out of the inability to endure (old) pain. This is something we must learn. As parents and as a whole culture.”

“Together with TransParents and all the many people following this call, I want to bring a greater movement into the world. Many are called to join and to remember why they came here. We want to be there for one another, courageously take life into our hands and activate our co-creative power on the planet. We know that the transformation for a healthy life of our children's souls and emotions begins in us.”
