What if the messiest drawing could reveal the deepest truth? ✏️
When someone asks "What would you like to have happen?" – you don't have to answer with words. You can express yourself on a page!
We've been exploring something rather exciting. Inspired by David Wood's exploration of Messy Visuals, a group of us in the Clean Change Community have been developing creative new ways to facilitate change through visual expression.
And on November 22nd at Metaphorum, we're inviting YOU to experience it for yourself!
🎨 Two stick figures? That's you and your colleague.
🎨 A squiggle? That's the problem you're wrestling with.
🎨 A heart? That's your purpose.
When we externalise our thinking visually – however messily – something shifts. Problems move from "in here" to "out there." And suddenly, we can see them differently.
In this 90-minute session, you'll:
✨ Discover how messy drawing creates new perspectives
✨ Experience the power of visual metaphor
✨ Learn a facilitation approach combining Clean Language with visuals
✨ Connect with others exploring this innovative practice
No artistic skill required. Just curiosity and a willingness to get wonderfully messy.
Because sometimes, the roughest sketch holds the deepest truth.
Join us. Get messy. 🖍️
📅 November 22nd, 2025

🌱 Integrate Clean and Embodiment into your practice - Embodied Clean training starts 18th March
For over four years, we (Wendy Sullivan and Paul Field) have been exploring how to integrate Clean and body-based/embodiment work - learning lessons from both domains.
The results have been fascinating. We've developed a structured approach we call Embodied Clean that preserves what's special about Clean Language while opening new pathways for clients to access their body's wisdom.
We're starting our 15-week Embodied Clean training on March 18th and would love to have you join us. You'll learn:
• A systematic approach to bringing a body-based approach to your work
• How to help clients discover powerful resources they don't even know they have
• How to create resourceful states with music, breath, movement and touch
• Complete body-based change processes that engage the whole person
• How to align with Clean principles when you can't stay "squeaky Clean"
"My physical vocabulary has changed, my level of curiosity of ‘my insides’ has increased and more and more I am inviting my body to be part of the internal conversations I have around thoughts, feelings and behaviours" - Jenny Tower, Coach/Educator
Join us for 2.5 hours on Zoom each week as we explore this exciting extension of Clean work. You don't need to know any Clean or embodiment to join, and you can watch the recording if you miss a call.
When you join, the first training session is free and you can cancel at any time. Simply sign up for our "Expeditions" training subscription!

"A few clean questions can very quickly bring the client's attention to their body - it's great to be able to raise someone's internal sensory awareness so fast!" — Lisa Brice, Executive Coach
Next session: 26th Feb, 15:30 UK time (Additional dates available in March)

We have been thinking about how to explain "advanced clean", which we teach in our "Journey of Mastery" training. These are the kinds of topics you might want to know as you go beyond the basic questions and The Framework for Change. This picture is the result. Hope you like it!

Clean Language is a beautifully elegant way to listen exquisitely, to remove as many of your own assumptions and judgements as possible, to use metaphors to access what's otherwise difficult to access, and to connect people to their own creativity and solutions. It has applications in business, in groups, in 1-to-1 sessions and it effortlessly integrates with other ways of working.
Wendy Sullivan and Paul Field would love to share some of this wonderful approach with you in a complimentary taster session on Zoom. It's interactive and you'll take away practical techniques you can use. We'd love you to join us!

What do you do when you run your first training call with a new group and find that they offer lots of great reflections and questions? Two things: 1. A happy dance; 2. A review of the running order, because it isn’t going to fit into the time available!
This is the experience Paul Field and I had at the start of our Embodied Clean course this week. Like the sound of it? You're in time to get a free trial of our Clean Change Community, including some weeks of the training, if you join now (offer ends tomorrow). Hope to see you there!

Embodied Clean is an innovative new approach to coaching that enables clients to create lasting change by accessing the wisdom and resources within the body.
It has complete change processes, techniques for creating and accessing resourceful states, a framework for developing body awareness, and a "building block" approach to constructing sessions that makes it simple to integrate into other ways of working. Take a look at our article to find out what we've been creating!

Over recent years, coaches and therapists have been realising the importance of working with clients in an embodied way. When a client has clearer access to their body sensations and emotions and the ability to manage and change their state at will, incredible change is possible.
Paul Field and Wendy Sullivan have created a complete embodied coaching approach using Clean Language that integrates smoothly with other coaching and therapy approaches. It's a deep and integrated framework that's the perfect CPD for experienced practitioners who want to take their own and clients' development to another level.
Wendy and Paul would love to share some of this with you in a complimentary taster session on Zoom. The taster is interactive and you'll take away practical techniques you can use. If you'd like to learn about accessing the body's wisdom with Clean Language, we'd love you to join us!
