Relationship Intelligence: Process and Flow

This three-day course addresses deep processes of emotional experience that are present in all relationships. Emotions are the currency of relationship and the coach that cannot wade into that deep water, ride the emotional rapids or appreciate the shallow "edges," will not be able to sustain relationship systems work.

In this course you will be equipped to draw out the inherent wisdom and "intelligence" that exists within relationship systems. You'll be introduced to Arnold Mindell's Process Work and a new skill set for the unfolding and following of emotional processes through working with "signals, channels and edges."

Through practicing these skills you'll discover the power of Deep Democracy with, and for, your clients. Deep Democracy insists that all the voices of a system be heard and honored - even the unpopular ones, because only then will the fullness of that system's reality be available for change. By mastering these skills, you will be able to fluidly move with whatever shows up in the system and in the coaching.

This dimension of systems coaching also initiates coaches into working with large groups or teams on emotionally charged issues. Participants experience relationship coaching as important and transformational work in the world.
