Learn Clean Language
We use Clean Language to inspire capability in groups and individuals - and we can teach you to do this too. What would you like to have happen?
Clean Learning events online
Due to the coronavirus, all our events between now and the end of 2020 will be online. As well as all the reasons you may already have for taking part in clean training, this is also one way you can stay in touch with others, use the time productively and not feel so isolated.
InsideClean
Join James Lawley, Penny Tompkins and Marian Way for four online workshops providing unique perspectives into what goes on behind the scenes when they, as highly experienced clean facilitators, work with their clients. The theme for their 2020 series is The Structure of Desire.
Be inspired

Clean Space for Scoping and Deepening Outcomes

When Jacqueline Ann Surin was asked to coach a young adult for whole day, she decided to start by using Clean Space to scope the situation and what he wanted to get from the session. Read on to find out how this worked and what happened when the client did not follow the Clean Space directions as she expected...
What our customers say
"If you’re new to Clean Language, this beautifully organised and thoroughly user-friendly guide will take you by the hand and lead you through the initial strangeness of asking - and answering - Clean questions, and then through each important stage of working more “cleanly” with clients, including a very reassuring section on what to do when none of it seems to work. More experienced practitioners will appreciate the way each aspect of Clean is discussed in the light of current research and the way the often fascinating case-study transcripts (don’t miss “I Fart in Your General Direction”) are presented in bite-sized colour coded chunks with zippy illustrations and very helpful question-by-question commentary. One reason why this book works so well is because Marian Way spent five years figuring out how to present both the fundamentals and the fiddly bits of Clean in a way that follows the inner dynamic of an actual Clean session. Her great ability to present the convolutions of each client’s inner landscape clearly and coherently will make this book an essential addition to your Clean library."
Nick Pole
Clean Approaches for Coaches
"We all have things that worry us from time to time, that play at the back of our minds and when I was going through this sort of thing I booked on a Personal Journey weekend. I received a very warm and gentle welcome which helped ease me into the weekend. There were three other people present as well but for each of us it was a chance to focus purely on our own thoughts. Marian helped me on my own path of exploration, helping me make new, previously unseen, connections. I heartily recommend the weekend to anyone with something about their own way of life they would like to change. And what's more the catering and setting were excellent!"
