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
To schedule a relating skills intensive for your leadership team, small organization, community, or family group, let’s talk.
SKILLED & SOVEREIGN PRACTITIONER
A weekly learning, practice, and support container for facilitators, therapists, coaches, healers, teachers, sex workers, clergy, activists, leaders, and anyone whose work requires exquisite skill in relating competently to difference when the stakes are high.
March-September (7 months), live via Zoom
There are a number of interested folks on the other side of the globe from me (I’m in Chicago and some folks are in Asia & Australia). In order to accommodate as many time zones as I can, I’ll be teaching two cohorts (yay & thank you!).
Cohort A: Sundays at 7pm-10pm CDT*
We’ll start on March 8th and close on September 13th.
This group will not meet on April 19th, or June 28th.
Cohort B: Mondays at 11am-2pm CDT*
We’ll start on March 9th and close on September 14th.
This group will not meet on April 20th, or June 29th.
*All times are in Central Daylight Time (CDT – Chicago, US) — not standard time (CST). Here’s a time zone converter I find helpful: https://timezoneconverter.com/tzc/. (My time zone changes from CST to CDT on March 8th. This may impact your gathering time if you are in Arizona or outside the US.)
- Months 1-4: Learn the skills (see above)
- Months 5-7: Practice in community, apply skills in your work & life, resource yourself with peer support, deepen your learning and praxis
- Ongoing: Monthly Community Skills Practice (free to all current and former Skills and Regard participants); Skilled Practitioner Circle (monthly paid membership with weekly practice, mentorship, and peer support)
(This year I will beta test Skilled & Sovereign Practitioner at a reduced fee of $2,500. The price will increase in 2027.)
