Resource library

We see an emergent ecology of practices that all focus on teaching relating skills that support us in living with more compassion and empathy on one side and with better boundaries and self-leadership on the other. We have gathered our favorite resources on these pages.

It can be somewhat of 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. 

We have a vision of co-creating 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. 

We also have an ambition of dropping the whole “my practice is better than your practice” thing that sadly often stops people from trying something new. Not everything is for everyone and all the people on this page has been inspired in different ways by different practices and have their own preference. 

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. 

There are numerous Relating Arts practices and its not easy to define the boundary to for example Gestalt therapy, partner dancing or martial arts which are all practices with a strong emphasis on the relational and practicing the art of being in relation with the other. Our ambition is to delineate an ecology of practice on these page and it is a work in progress. If you know of a practice that you think should be added to the list, please let us know.
