The Fundamentals of Authentic Relating

Deepen all of your relationships with transformational authentic relating skills in this 8 week course

Your Path to more Authentic Relationships

Imagine having so much confidence in your relating skills that all of your relationships become nourishing, whole & empowered. 
‍ 
The true potential of relationships is that they can be sanctuaries of connection, healing, growth and evolution… all without the pain, frustration, loneliness and endless cycles of conflict. 
‍ 
This is possible. 
‍ 
Your journey to the best relationships of your life starts here.

Authentic Relating will transform your relationships

All relationships are created through the way we relate.

What Fundamentals of Authentic Relating teaches

Life is composed of relationships. 
‍ 
No matter where we turn, we will find that the quality of our life is fundamentally tethered to the quality of our relationships. 
‍ 
Love, family, friendships, community, prosperity, and sex… all come back to the quality of our relationships with other people.

“Humans are not solitary creatures. We are in relationship, always. Do you ever stop and ask yourself, “What is the quality of these relationships in my life?”

— Damien Bohler, course creator

We grow high-quality relationships through high-quality relating....

Yet relating is not something we are taught.
‍
We grew up watching the adults around us and many of us didn’t have the best role models. So we’ve all inherited less-than-elegant ways of relating.
‍
These ways of relating have been hurting our relationships. Creating conflict and misunderstanding where it doesn’t need to exist.
The great thing is that relating is a skill that really can be developed.

Course modules:

What you’ll learn in each module

Module 1 - Embodied Relating

We will explore a powerful synergy between deep listening and vulnerability through embodying the principles of presence, acceptance and non-judgment.

Module 2 - Reflective Listening

Developing this listening skill leads to a magical ability to really have others feel seen, heard and validated in your presence and offers a state of deep safety and relaxation.

Module 3 - Curiosity

Curiosity is a relational tool that leads others to comfortably reveal their depths, creating the possibility of beautiful and novel bonding experiences.

Module 4 - Transformative Listening

Expanding on the reflective listening module, here we develop the skill to offer profoundly transformative reflections and deep experiences of feeling seen.

Module 5 - Desire

Having the ability to vulnerably express your needs and desires leads to the depth and quality of relational experiences that you most want.

Module 6 - Boundaries

Elegant boundaries are the ability to maintain differentiation from others while also feeling close to them. This capacity is absolutely crucial in healthy relating.

Module 7 - Attunement

This module teaches how to step into the “we” space. Stepping into this field with another, even for a moment, is deeply nourishing and expansive, beyond words.

Module 8 - Appreciation

When we appreciate things, they go up in value. So too with people. This skill is a superpower for deepening intimacy and creating warm relationships.

Format of the course

Each week there are videos explaining the concepts. Participants watch the videos before attending a live group ‘class’ to practise and further embody the authentic relating tools in the module. Between classes, participants will deepen their experience with partner and trio practice sessions.

Testimonials

Here are some of the things prior participants have shared about this work.

"If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be who I am today. I wouldn’t have the awareness of my patterns and I wouldn’t have had the tools to heal and evolve. I wouldn’t be the woman or the coach I am now. You are one of the best in the industry and have played a significant role in helping me heal my insecure attachment, I am beyond grateful for your work Damien."

Samantha Manovski - Intimacy Coach

"I've done a lot of courses over the years, including many in the realm of human relating, and this was one of the best. The material was extremely valuable; Damien's lectures were clear, instructive, and to the point; the practical exercises were challenging and expansive. "

River Jade Satya - Festival Organiser

"I’ve taken Fundamentals twice. It truly is a transformational training. For me it was the many embodied practices that really created the shift. I felt so empowered by the end of it and the practices have become a regular part of my life."

Candice Storey - Holistic Psychotherapist

"I'm feeling so deeply nourished from the level of connection which is available to me from what I've learned in this course. I have absolutely no doubt that this work will continue to support me for the rest of my life, helping me to unravel the essence of who I am more deeply, and help me to experience the essence of others too. Wow, what a gift."
