What Fundamentals of Authentic Relating teaches

Life is composed of relationships.

No matter where we turn, we will find that the quality of our life is fundamentally tethered to the quality of our relationships.

Take a moment right now to reflect on some of your most memorable life experiences.

You will probably find that at least some of them, if not all of them, include other people.
Love, family, friendships, community, prosperity, and sex… all come back to the quality of our relationships with other people.

“Humans are not solitary creatures. We are in relationship, always. Do you ever stop and ask yourself, “What is the quality of these relationships in my life?”

— Damien Bohler, course creator

We grow high-quality relationships through high-quality relating....

Relating that is vulnerable, mindful, joyful, in integrity to our authentic selves, and capable of listening deeply to others.

Yet relating is not something we are taught.

We grew up watching the adults around us and many of us didn’t have the best role models. So we’ve all inherited less-than-elegant ways of relating.

These ways of relating have been harming our relationships. Creating conflict and misunderstanding where it doesn’t need to exist.
The great thing is that relating is a skill that really can be developed.

Course modules

What you’ll learn in each module

1
Embodied Relating

We will explore a powerful synergy between deep listening and vulnerability through embodying the principles of presence, acceptance and non-judgment.

2
Reflective Listening

Developing this listening skill leads to a magical ability to really have others feel seen, heard and validated in your presence and offers a state of deep safety and relaxation.

3
Curiosity

Curiosity is a relational tool that leads others to comfortably reveal their depths, creating the possibility of beautiful and novel bonding experiences.

4
Transformative Listening

Expanding on the reflective listening module, here we develop the skill to offer profoundly transformative reflections and deep experiences of feeling seen.

5
Desire

Having the ability to vulnerably express your needs and desires leads to the depth and quality of relational experiences that you most want.

6
Boundaries

Elegant boundaries are the ability to maintain differentiation from others while also feeling close to them. This capacity is absolutely crucial in healthy relating.

7
Attunement

This module teaches how to step into the “we” space. Stepping into this field with another, even for a moment, is deeply nourishing and expansive, beyond words.

8
Appreciation

All things come to a close. This module allows us the time and space to reflect on the experience, integrate and appreciate the beautiful journey we’ve undertaken together.
