Sept 3-7, 2025 - POSTPONED UNTIL 2026 - exact date TBD

What’s This All About?

You care about your team, your community, your relationships. You’re often the one holding it all together. People look to you to set the tone: to give feedback, to deal with tension, or to have hard conversations with team mates. You’ve read the books, made a few attempts, but still feel under-equipped when it comes to creating a courageous communication culture in your group.

This training is designed to help you step into the stretch zone - that brave space between comfort and overload - to practice what it takes to speak with clarity, listen with presence, and support dialogue when things get tense.

This is not a typical “communication training.” It’s a mix of roleplay, embodiment, nervous system work, and real-time feedback, grounded in years of lived practice and experimentation. It’s immersive, hands-on, sometimes confronting, and ultimately transformative.

From Conflict-Avoidant to Conflict-Confident

We’ve seen many groups avoid conflict altogether, or get stuck in stifling compromises. We want to help you move from hiding difficult emotions to welcoming them as signals for growth; from prioritising harmony to cultivating honesty; from avoiding tension to skillfully working with it. We believe you can develop the skills to turn conflict into real breakthroughs, nourishing your personal growth and relational depth.

Who It’s For

This training is for you if:

• You work in a team or live in a community and want to improve your communication culture.

• You’ve found yourself responsible for resolving tensions and delivering difficult feedback but feel out of your depth.

• You’re in HR, management, or part of a “care crew,” trying to foster trust and accountability.

• You’ve done feedback training or learned Nonviolent Communication, but want deeper, more embodied practice.

• You want to take what you learn and help others in your team or group upskill too.

• You want to help people connect across differences, say what needs to be said, and stay in relationship while doing it.

The Vibe

💥 Real talk, not just theory🫀 Nervous system-centred, not just scripts👥 Small group, big care🔥 Willingness to get uncomfortable - and supported every step of the way

This Might Not Be for You If…

• You want to stay in theory mode and not get your hands dirty

• You’re not open to feedback or to exploring your own patterns

• You want to stay in your comfort zone

• If you are operating in a strict hierarchical frame without any interest in opening up to more collaborative ways of working.

• If you are attached to one particular communication framework

• If you’re looking for cookie-cutter answers; it’s not about adopting a simple framework or 3-easy-steps, it’s about developing a posture of inner clarity & confidence to navigate complexity with grace.
