There is an emergent ecology of practices all focusing 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.

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.

When we say no to love

We are all saying no to love. When we dont trust our embodied knowing of others and make ourselves more separate than we are. When we go too far that way we go into projection from resentment or from our own wounding. But it is possible to speak from our true knowing of others.

Awareness: A gift of freedom
