Relate
A Relationship Skills Intensive
with James-Olivia Chu Hillman
In this experiential, person-centered workshop you’ll shake the foundations and nourish the roots of how you relate to yourself and everyone around you. You’ll learn and practice skills to:
Be with others without getting overwhelmed by—or taking responsibility for—their big feelings & experiences
Listen and understand what others are actually saying
Stay grounded and aligned, even in the face of differences, tension, discomfort, and conflict
Prize the humanity, sovereignty, wholeness, and dignity of everyone in the conversation (including yourself)
Bring more you to your most important conversations and relationships
A 4-month relationship skills intensive for humans who want to connect deeply, interrupt their own relational fuckery, communicate cleanly, be more themselves, and relate competently when difference is present and the stakes are high… at home, in their organizations and businesses, in community, in conflict and in love.

They teach skills for relating competently to difference and facilitate and mediate uncomfortable, necessary, life-changing conversations with people who want more joy and connection and less suffering in their most important relationships—with themselves, their loved ones, their organizations, and the world.
They come to the work of living and leading relationally with the lived experience of moving through life in the U.S. as an autistic, multi-racial and sometimes white-presenting “other” with many other intersecting privileges and marginalized identities. They bring relentless compassion, an unusual perspective, and an eclectic variety of tools to the conversation of expanding our lives and our leadership beyond personal growth and into relational development.
They are learning and unlearning alongside you. They make mistakes and dissect them openly. They give zero fucks about goodness (yours or theirs), and have no idea what safe space means to you—nor any interest in creating it for you… although they’re thrilled to co-create a beautiful life and world with you. They have far more interest in the full spectrum of our humanity and our ability to be with and celebrate discomfort, uncertainty, and difference.
