Radical Honesty Weekend Workshop in Amsterdam
Live out loud and be unapologetically you. This Radical Honesty weekend workshop invites you to move beyond your comfort zone and into your brave zone, to be real and to welcome every part of yourself. In the workshop we will have an intro to Radical honesty, facilitated sharing, and exercises in pairs and small groups. This weekend takes place in central Amsterdam.
Live out loud and be unapologetically you!
What if you could express yourself fully?
What if you no longer felt the need to hide parts of yourself — whether joyful, ashamed, angry or scared?
This workshop invites you to move beyond your comfort zone and into your brave zone, to be real and to welcome every part of yourself.
Expect deep, real connections. Expect to feel both challenged and liberated.
Give others the opportunity to truly see you — and to like you (or dislike you) exactly as you are.
Who is this workshop for?
This Honesty Europe workshop is for you if:
You want to experience more freedom in being yourself
You’re ready to let go of shame, fear and the need for approval
You want to use conflict creatively instead of resorting to blame
You’d like to get confident in asking for what you want
You want to heal relationships and let go of past anger and hurts
You crave deeper love, connection and intimacy
This workshop is NOT for you if:
You’d rather avoid difficult conversations
You want to keep sugar-coating issues in your relationships
You expect everyone (including yourself) to always be polite and agreeable
What happens in the workshop?
The workshop is experiential and experimental. It includes teaching, sharing in the group, facilitated conversations, paired and small group exercises, hot-seat work, grounding practices and more, all designed to help you integrate honesty and authenticity more and more into a way of life.
The core practice is honest sharing: noticing what is alive, sharing it and staying present with yourself and others. We encourage people to allow sensations, thoughts and emotions to come and go. We talk about topics often considered taboo — money, sex, resentment, attraction — nothing is off-limits.
We learn and practise distinguishing between thinking and noticing what is actually happening.
We explore how to express ourselves in new and different ways, whether through laughing, shouting, crying, smiling, sharing or by asking for what we want without any requirement of giving back.
“What do you notice happening in your body right now?” is a question we often ask. Noticing our physical sensations in the moment can help us to become more aware of our experience.
We learn to listen without fixing, allowing others to express themselves without interruption or advice.
We also have a sharing group after each event to encourage integration to your daily life and ongoing community.

Pete JordanPete Jordan is the only certified Radical Honesty trainer in the Benelux countries. He organizes and co-lead Radical Honesty workshops around Europe with his wife, Tuulia, as well as does 1:1 coaching.
Pete has changed his life for the better by committing to live honestly, expressing his resentments and appreciations in the moment and by asking for what he wants. A major breakthrough for him was to have honest talks with his ex-wife and four siblings. He has broken the traditions of his childhood’s family and began to talk about things he was afraid of and embarrassed about and what he didn’t like in his childhood.
Pete has great listening skills and he is keen on developing and learning every day. His vision is to support others to live happier, freer lives.

Testimonials
“Tuulia & Pete are great facilitators for deep transformational processes. Again and again, I am amazed by how they hold space and coach people into experiences. They are direct, very attentive and fun. I love the mix of really deep work, friendship, silliness and warmness. They are both very good at holding space and guiding people with trauma reactions. I imagine they are doing a really great job. I am very grateful for the way they facilitate and how they are as just human beings. They are open, vulnerable and they don’t pretend to know everything or be all in control. I trust them. Thank you!”
