About us
We gather to practice being more real with each other—through Authentic Relating Training courses, facilitated practices, and connection exercises with ART International. No scripts. No pretending you have it all figured out. Just space to show up as you actually are.
Most of us have been taught that being "good" at relationships means never being awkward, never getting defensive, always knowing the right thing to say.
But that pressure to be perfect? It's exactly what keeps us from the kind of connection that brings us alive.
Whether you're navigating relationship challenges, feeling disconnected, or simply want more genuine connection in your life—you're welcome here.
What to expect:
• Authentic Relating Training courses and workshops
• Facilitated practices and exercises
• A community that values realness over perfection
No prerequisites. Just bring your human self.

Level 2: Advanced
Greater Community Sanctuary, 1025 Rosewood Ave, Suite 102, Boulder, CO, USWELCOME
Building on the foundational practices of Authentic Relating that we established in Level 1, the Level 2 Advanced training will support you to deeply understand your relational patterns, claim your wholeness, and create thriving connections with others.
To be an integrated, relational human being means knowing and welcoming yourself fully, including the parts of yourself that you turn away from, suppress, and disown. In Level 2 we make space for all the parts of us, including our shadow patterns that limit us from experiencing the nourishing connections we desire. We learn to own these parts, to bring them into connection, and to expand our capacity to be with the inevitable triggers, tensions and breakdowns that come with our relationships. The principles and practices you will learn in Level 2 will teach you to relate to what lies underneath relational tensions and to repair with others from a vulnerable, embodied, response-able place within yourself.
The ART Level 2 training will guide you to explore your own shadows and those of others in a tightly held conscious, relational space. You will be witnessed and welcomed in your journey, and have access to vast new realms of authentic connection in the intimate and vulnerable territory we explore together.
Do you want to explore and clear what’s blocking you from the fulfilling connections you crave?
