Amsterdam Radical Honesty Meetup

### Radical Honesty Weekend Workshop Amsterdam March

A workshop about Living Out Loud, Being Happy, Getting over Shit and Living in the Present

Radical Honesty is about living in the Here and Now. It is a communication tool and lifestyle, which leads you to connect more deeply with others by expressing our fear, anger, appreciation and whatever is arising in the moment.

Content of the training:
This workshop includes lectures, directed conversations, paired exercises, small group exercises, hot seat work, meditation and much more to help you learn how to relax into intimacy based on being open and honest. All this is geared toward having you learn and practice the distinction between thinking and noticing; the difference between interpreting reality and actually noticing it through direct experience.
Then you learn to share what we notice about the reality of your own experience with others, and have it be the basis for true intimacy—learning to love being and love other beings. In this workshop, you can express yourself by laughing, shouting, crying, smiling, sharing and by asking for what you want.

This workshop is for you if:
・you want to experience more freedom in your life
・you want to let go of shame, fear and attachment to approval
・you are looking for using conflict creatively and want to go beyond blame
・you desire to learn the art of asking for what you want
・you want to heal your relationships and find forgiveness
・you yearn deeper love, connection & intimacy

Workshop on How to Live, Love, Laugh & Be Happy & Completely Ruin Life as You Know It
Radical Honesty is direct communication that leads to intimacy. It is the difference between making a performance and laughing and playing with friends. Honesty is kind of scary fun that turns out better than you thought it would. We claim that lying is the major source of all human stress. When people engage honestly, energy that was wasted maintaining a performance to make an impression is suddenly available for real creativity in playing together. When we admit our pretenses we can refresh our relationships and powerfully create new ways of living together.

Workshop on How to Live, Love, Laugh & Be Happy & Completely Ruin Life as You Know It

Honesty Europe’s work is direct communication that leads to intimacy. It is the difference between making a performance and laughing and playing with friends. Honesty is kind of scary fun that turns out better than you thought it would. Lying is work and a pain in the ass and makes you lonesome as hell.

We claim that lying is the major source of all human stress. It wears us out and eventually kills us. When people engage honestly, energy that was wasted maintaining a performance to make an impression is suddenly available for real creativity in playing together. When we admit our pretenses we can refresh our relationships and powerfully create new ways of living together.

What we do
On each day, we’ll do some yoga, meditation and workshop sessions. The sessions will include an introduction to Radical Honesty; a deeper dive into honesty work; and learning through theory, discussions, sharing and exercises on how to be fully and wholeheartedly honest. We’ll do group and paired exercises as well as hot seat work.

Workshop on How to Live, Love, Laugh & Be Happy & Completely Ruin Life as You Know It
Our work is based on direct communication that leads to intimacy. Honesty is kind of scary fun that turns out better than you thought it would. Lying is work and a pain in the ass and makes you lonesome as hell and eventually kills the connection, love and intimacy with your partner.
We claim that lying is the major source of all human stress and makes relationships superficial and many of us lonely in our relationships. It wears us out and eventually kills us. When people engage honestly, energy that was wasted maintaining a performance to make an impression is suddenly available for real creativity in playing together. When we admit our pretences, we can refresh our relationships and powerfully create new ways of living and being together.

What have past participants said about the Honesty Europe’s Couples Retreat?
“We did the Couples Retreat as a preparation for our wedding without knowing what would come up. Both of us had attended workshops separately before but never one together. But it was for our relationship such a benefit. We strengthened our trust, vulnerability, appreciation and love towards each other even more, and I really feel good about getting married now. I highly recommended this retreat for everybody who wants to deepen their connections.”
–Pia (Austria)
“The Couples Retreat gave me space to have deep experiences and improve my relationship with my partner. To say what I actually want, even if it feels unreasonable. My partner started letting himself feel more anger and express what he wants. I began honoring his “no” more and giving space to his tougher emotions. We both came out of it with some clear next steps, like doing completion talks and creating a relationship agreement. Also, the group sharing, the free time in the evenings, and Pete & Tuulia’s own openness made the space feel much more trustworthy and safe.”
–Teri (Czechia)
“Pete & Tuulia have a lot of experience in communicating and relating successfully and they’re great at teaching it, too! If you want to learn how to create and maintain intimate relationships and have a good time doing it, join a Couples Retreat!”
–Michael (Germany)
“I judge Tuulia & Pete to be very talented workshop leaders. In the Couples Retreat I attended, they created a wonderful, personal space — also by showing themselves as the imperfect humans they are — in which sharing whatever feelings and thoughts was very easy and so welcomed! High recommendation!”
–Taranee (Germany)
“During the Couples Retreat led by Pete & Tuulia, I learned so much about myself in relation to not only my partner but to basically all the people around me. I greatly recommend this course for everyone who wants to express more frustration in order to spend less time feeling it.”
–Katrien (The Netherlands)

What will we do?
