SKILLED & SOVEREIGN

A relationship skills intensive for humans who want to connect deeply, interrupt their own relational fuckery, communicate cleanly, be more themselves, and relate competently when difference is present and the stakes are high… at home, in their organizations and businesses, in community, in conflict and in love.

In this experiential, small-group, person-centered skills intensive, you’ll shake the foundations and nourish the roots of how you relate to yourself and everyone around you. You’ll learn and practice skills for sovereign, wholehearted, competent, and embodied relating so that you can:

  • Be with others without getting overwhelmed by—or taking responsibility for—their big feelings & experiences
  • Listen and understand what others are actually saying (not just what you feel, assume, project, or interpret)
  • Stay grounded, aligned, and in your integrity, even in the face of differences, tension, discomfort, and conflict
  • Regard the humanity, sovereignty, wholeness, and dignity of everyone in the conversation (including yourself)
  • Bring more you to your most important conversations and relationships

Coming soon:
