Relationship Path: Vision and Potentiality

In this three-day course you will pull back and take a softer focus on the space, power and potential of relationship. Cutting-edge and eclectic, it draws from quantum physics, Joseph Campbell’s work on myth, Taoism and Process Work to radically explore the deep meaning of relationship. You will focus on the partnership as a dream and the partners and “The Third Entity™” as dreamers. You will examine the Three Levels of Reality (Arnold Mindell) and how they impact personal and work relationships, and practice the fluid back-and-forth movement between those levels.

Relationship Path: Vision and Potentiality provides tools for discovering the essential dream or vision out of which the relationship was born. In this dimension, partners are invited to reconnect with that original vision in order to deepen meaning and fulfillment. You will learn how to track the original relationship myth™ as well as coach clients to discover the new relationship myth™. In this course, psychology meets quantum physics, a cutting-edge synthesis which fundamentally enhances the professional coaching paradigm.

In “consensus reality language” we say that this course presents tools to deepen relationship satisfaction and joy. In corporate or business language we say that it refers to the exploration of corporate or business values, and mission or vision. In the Taoist sense it is about unfolding the "way" of this particular relationship, fearlessly stalking the unique reason "why this relationship now?" It is in this dimension that the question changes from "Who is doing what to whom?" to "What is trying to happen?" It is here that coach and clients discover and wrestle with ghosts and gremlins and turn them into allies. The deep meaning of relationship is explored, including relationship myths and relationship as an aspect of spirit.

As a result of taking this course all participants will:

• Understand the critical role fulfillment plays in business and personal relationship longevity.
• Know the theory for identifying the deep meaning of each relationship and have the tools to assist clients in accessing it (relationship dreaming, myth, etc.). You will be able to apply this to organizational and personal settings.
• Be able to identify three critical components of relationship fulfillment (values, myth, relationship as spiritual path, etc.).
• Know three ways of uncovering relationship values (questionnaire, metaskills wheel, future selves, etc.).
• Understand the impact of value conflicts and disappointed expectations on relationship and know three tools for working with them (high dream/low dream, metaskills, relationship wheel, etc.).
• Know at least three techniques for exploring the transpersonal aspects of relationship, (myths, metaskills, partner as creator, mirror, truth teller, aspect of the divine). You will be familiar with how to adapt these tools to business and personal settings.
• Feel more confident and competent at coaching all types of relationships than you did when you entered the program.
