Authentic Relating courses starting next week

February 26, 2025 By marc Leave a Comment

We had a great call yesterday with Jason, Sophie and I. We played some games (noticing game! my favorite), and more. We did record the final 12 minutes presentation (short and sweet!) of what the two courses are about and the differences. You can watch that recording here:

Alternatively, read the transcript here.

Are these courses for me?

The two courses both start next Tuesday March 4: 

  1. Authentic Relating in Community (ARC) starts Tuesday March 4, 11:30am Eastern / 5:30pm CET for 6 weeks 
  2. Practical Relational Leadership in Community (PRLC) starts Tuesday March 4, 2pm Eastern / 8:00pm CET for 6 weeks

If you are an active community-builder (or want to be one), are already living in community, or simply want to improve your relationships across-the-board, we would love to have you.

We have some scholarship money available, so if that’s of interest reach out to me via reply to this email, and we can also perhaps schedule a discovery call. Note that Jason’s ARC is already super-cheap at $200 for reduced-income people, and that these courses normally go for $400. Offering AR courses on a sliding-scale is not normally done, and we are not sure that we will be able to do this again.

If you don’t know anything about the global Authentic Relating movement and practice, Jason does a great job introducing it in this video:

We hope to see you soon!

With love,

Marco & Sophie

PS: Sophie and I just got married! We would not have made it very far without Authentic Relating.
