Course Goal
To equip participants with the mindset, skills, and practical experience to intentionally foster deeper, more authentic human connections in their personal and professional lives—ultimately building closer, more connected relationships.

The Relate Experience
Relate is expertly designed to increase your relational intelligence in an accelerated 6-week format.
The small-group structure allows you to not only learn about connection, but to practice it immediately in real time—with feedback, reflection, and support.
This program draws from evidence-based modalities including Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Authentic Relating principles, blending inner work and interpersonal skill-building to create lasting change.
Week-by-Week Journey
Week | Theme | Focus |
1 | Authentic Presence & Relational Intention | Learn the internal attitude and external framework that make genuine connection possible. |
2 | The Relational Self — Unarming Defenses | Explore your inner landscape through IFS-inspired reflection. Identify how your protective parts both support and block connection. |

4 | The Art of Honest & Courageous Communication | Discover a framework for clear, direct, and heart-centered dialogue so you can show up authentically and speak your truth with care. |
5 | Repair & Conflict — Resilience in Connection | Conflict is inevitable; disconnection doesn’t have to be. Learn practical repair skills to restore trust and navigate relational challenges with confidence. |
6 | Integration — Sustaining Authentic Connections | Create your personalized roadmap for maintaining high relational intelligence (RQ) in daily life and cultivating ongoing community support. |
