Comprehensive Curriculum

Session 1 — The Art of Rupture and Repair
Jordan Dann · 75-minute experiential session

In every relationship, conflict is inevitable — but what sets resilient relationships apart is the ability to repair after a rupture. This experiential workshop helps you develop the skills to navigate conflict, restore connection, and rebuild trust. Through Imago Relationship Therapy techniques, role-play, and dyad work, you'll learn active listening, validation, empathy, and attunement, plus identify the personal triggers and defensive responses that derail reconnection.

Session 2 — Relational Immediacy: Connection in the Transpiring Present Moment
Jessica Montgomery · 75-minute experiential session

Before our brains know time, we know connection. Our earliest relational templates form in a timeless zone of immediate sensation and felt perception, shaping what we trust, doubt, move toward, or avoid. In this experiential session, you'll engage the primal power of the transpiring present moment — a potent yet simple language for connection.

Session 3 — From Victim to Empowerment
Britt Frank & Sabrina Zohar · 75-minute experiential session

Move from feeling like a victim to stepping into your power. This session dives into the neuroscience of getting unstuck and shares game-changing strategies for creating change rather than waiting for it. Unlock the cheat codes to better relationships with yourself and others, challenge limiting beliefs, build resilience, and rewrite your story.

Session 4 — Healing the Core Relational Wounds
Dr. Diane Poole Heller & Dr. Scott Lyons · 75-minute experiential session

Explore core relational wounds — the deep-seated emotional patterns formed from early attachments and relationships. Through guided somatic practices and therapeutic insights, you'll learn to identify and heal these wounds, fostering greater self-awareness and emotional resilience. Practical tools for both personal healing and enhancing relational dynamics.

Session 5 — Good Boundaries Make Great Relationships
Ann Weiser Cornell · 75-minute experiential session

Do you give too much and disregard your own needs? Disappear into your partner and lose your sense of self? Hide parts of yourself for fear of rejection? At the core, these are all boundary issues. Through body-based awareness exercises, Ann shines a light on the boundary patterns in your relationships and guides you toward connection that supports you in being fully who you are.

Bonus Session — Exploring Relational Dynamics Through Somatic Approaches
Dr. Stan Tatkin & Kai Cheng Thom · 75-minute interview

Dr. Stan Tatkin and Kai Cheng Thom dive into the somatic aspects of relational therapy, exploring how our bodies and nervous systems influence adult attachment and relationship dynamics. Drawing from psychobiology and somatic wellness, they unpack implicit memories, emotional triggers in couples therapy, and practical strategies for fostering secure, functional relationships through mutual governance and emotional attunement.
