LEARN HOW TO HOLD SPACE THAT FEELS LIKE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE

Experience a learning process where you intentionally explore communication with another person. You'll alternating interrupting one another in a light and playful manner before settling into embodying a space for your partner's and your deepest truths to emerge.

Come with your partner, friend, or family member OR be put in a breakout room with one other person
