Relational Dojo
Training Healthy Relational Sparring
You've seen the power of relational intensity...
Why not move towards relational mastery?
You've had indescribable breakthroughs... but sometimes relational spaces get weird.
You've watched facilitators fall on their face when new people don't seem to "get it".
You know how "messy" can create breakthroughs... but you've also seen it... hurt people?
I get it.
You're doing the exact same exercises as the ones you did before... so why is this one not landing?
My name is Ali.
And I have navigated all these same struggles.
My membership was brutally disrupted when I was running a circling group about 5 years ago, and one of the participants (a very close friend of mine) screamed "Stop talking about your feelings you F* P*ssy*" to a brand new participant I had invited in.
All of us paused. We knew "technically" it was passable and okay that he said that, after all, it was his truth! And I'd attended events where people talked like that all the time... but this felt... different. Something about this felt... abusive & traumatizing?
My life's mission quickly became the question of: How do I create both a BRAVE space and a SAFE space?
What had the events I was part of done, that I wasn't aware of?
What was I marketing to people?
What did I need to do so that breakthroughs happen and not breakdowns?
"My life's mission quickly became the question of: How do I create both a BRAVE space and a SAFE space? "
