Cherie Scott
Cherie has always been passionate about self expression in many forms such
as dance, performance, mime, fine art, graphic design, journal writing
and ceremony. Cherie holds a Diploma in Design (Graphic) and a Graduate
Diploma in Arts (Civil Ceremonies) at Monash University. She draws upon
a wealth of experience in communication – this includes three decades of
marriage, step parenting, parenting and building soul friendships. She
is dedicated to connecting with herself, family (across distances) and
friends. She has been working with Nonviolent Communication since 2003
and is now passionate about listening as well as expressing.
Having arthritis from a young age drew her to healing and
transformational work, including meditation, Reiki and communication.
Her journey of personal and spiritual growth began in 1984 and has taken
her to the UK, USA, Mexico and Bali. It includes the greatest challenge
of her life - step parenting and motherhood, where she discovered that
how she expressed herself made a profound difference. In 1986 she became
a volunteer advocate for the hungry – becoming their voice, she spoke to
business people and students about ending hunger. She managed The Hunger
Project in Western Australia and trained others in expressing the needs
of the disadvantaged.
She lived for a time at The Findhorn Foundation and discovered living in
community. In 1997 a desire to work with people led her to the art of
ceremony. For Cherie, ceremony is living art – the combination of many
different elements designed to express and communicate something of
meaning and importance. Her favoured mode of ceremony is circle
ceremony, where everyone has the opportunity to be heard. She also loves
to use video to capture a celebration of life through interviews and
images. She has produced numerous family history videos that honour the
family elders in their own lifetime and her motto is “celebrate life
now.”
The magic of the moment . . . the present . . .
Yesterday is history - tomorrow is a mystery – today is a gift
That’s why we call it the present
Cherie’s particular focus with NVC is working with people from a place
of reverence for self, others and life - for what’s alive in us. She has
found that connecting with our feelings and needs and finding life
enhancing ways to meet them brings empowerment and fulfillment.
“Meeting everyone’s needs peacefully isn’t just a pipe dream - its
real and my relationships are rewarding in ways I could only dream about
before. Cherie’s coaching has supported me to build my skill in
responding compassionately to difficult to hear messages.”
