This website is dedicated to the emergent ecology of practices focused on building relating competence. Practices that support us in living with more compassion and empathy on one side and with better boundaries and self-leadership on the other. On these pages you will find practice descriptions, events, local leaders, resources for leading your own events and more.

A Resource Library

It can be quite  a project to try to navigate your way through the abundance of workshops that offer transformation and personal development. There are many amazing experiences to be had in the field, but there is certainly also a lot of stuff that is less good or outright irresponsible. 

The vision of this page is to co-create a resource library that can support you in the process of finding the practice, the literature or the facilitator that might work for you, based on our own experiences from navigating the ocean of self-development workshops out there. 

A good recommendation is to try out the same practice with a few different leaders before you decide if it is something for you or not. People have different styles of leadership and a practice that seemed bland and uninteresting with one leader can be experienced as profound with someone else. 

Our ambition is to delineate an ecology of practice on these page and it is a work in progress. If you know of a leader or a practice that you think should be added to the list, please let us know.

Attunement: How do you make beautiful music?
