Voices from our Collaboration Formats
Having Bärbel as the moderator for the 3rd Berlin Engagement Conference with 180 participants was a real asset.
She was present, immediately grasped situations, and spontaneously stepped in when a workshop leader unexpectedly dropped out.
This allowed us to navigate the one and a half conference days feeling relaxed and secure, and to fully concentrate on the content. Even the preparatory meetings with her were excellent: well-thought-out, goal-oriented, and she showed quick comprehension. Our challenge was to evolve the conference from a mere event into a structural element that sets the themes for the coming year.
It worked: many workshops led to the creation of three forums that will further deepen the topics and guide them into the next year with a clear roadmap. It was clear that she understood what we were aiming for and what was important to us.”

One of the most important insights for me was compassion.
During the retreat, I experienced how empowering it can be to be supported by others – without judgment, without having to perform. This experience was incredibly powerful.
I learned that openness is not a weakness, but a form of strength. After the retreat, I felt that something within me had shifted – an inner part that had previously been more of an observer became active.
The exercises, the shared experience, and the atmosphere of the retreat deeply moved me. For me, this experience has a name:
‘Compassion is magic.’

On behalf of the entire team of Kulturagenten Berlin, I would like to express my sincere thanks for your dedicated work with us.
We were looking for process/conflict consulting and found you, along with your diverse expertise and appreciative guidance.
What a valuable asset. We needed and wanted to reposition ourselves, fine-tune future program goals, and, most importantly, reorganize tasks and profiles. You provided us with valuable insights for this and accompanied our journey as a program and team into its next phase. For this, we extend our thanks, but also our greatest appreciation for your professional and context-sensitive engagement with our diversity!

The retreat did me a lot of good.
I felt calm, relaxed, and more connected to myself there, and that feeling persisted even two weeks later. What I particularly liked was the approach that the body leads and the mind follows. This created a different access to myself and new insights.
Bärbel and her co-facilitator created a very safe and inspiring space. The clear language, the exercises, and the atmosphere on-site helped me to engage fully and integrate the experiences. The place itself is almost magical — ideal for finding peace and exploring what wants to emerge.
And an unexpected discovery: It can be surprisingly joyful to write a poem.

I have known Bärbel Becker in various work contexts and settings and was always very satisfied.
She facilitated several events for the "Berliner Kiebitze" therapeutic education service, both as part of a moderation duo and as a solo facilitator.
From the planning workshop at the project's start, to an evaluation workshop at the end of the 3-year project phase, and even moderating an event for the new overall Berlin team, she was an excellent guide. She also provided valuable advice in coaching sessions. Bärbel is an excellent contact person, both professionally and personally, whom we gladly recommend.
Adrienne Blank-Koerber,
This retreat with Bärbel and Anna was a special experience.
Not in a superficial, feel-good sense, but in the precise way it brings about change. One's own perception sharpens, and the way one interacts with others subtly transforms.
Through shared practice, a space emerges that is simultaneously open, vibrant, and playful. Time and again, there's an invitation to let go of control and be present with greater awareness. Such an experience is rare.

Bärbel guided our group through a challenging change process – with a presence that I still vividly recall.
What particularly impressed me was that Bärbel always kept both in mind: the individual people, their needs, their rhythm, and the common goal.
Her workshops felt both open and guided – a well-balanced equilibrium. I would work with her again anytime.
