Are there one or more youths in your life with whom you would enjoy:

  • Having the conversations you may be most terrified of having?
  • Sharing scary honesty: Hearing theirs and expressing yours?
  • Cultivating a relationship that embodies trust, appreciation, and mutuality?
  • Learning how to re-center and remain connected to needs "no matter what is thrown your way"?
  • Developing a capacity to "be with what is", even if that includes having pain from your own teen years stimulated?
  • Creating boundaries in a "power-with" way that invites compassionate communication & wise action?
  • Deepening NVC skills and integrating it in a way that responding empathically becomes the first response?
  • Releasing enemy-images that "fog up" seeing the beauty that lay within yourself and the youth you care about?
  • Laughing more with the intensity of life?

If you answered yes to any of the above this class may be for you.
If you're willing to "walk in the dark" and "live on the edge of
honesty" then this class is definitely for you. Through story,
role-play, journaling, and discussion we will learn how to enrich and
enliven the relationships we have with the people we call teens.
