What You’ll Experience: Course Overview
Module 1
With Robert Gass and Judith Ansara
Session 1:
The Art of Loving Fully
The best way to succeed at anything is to practice. With love, that means you practice the actual art of keeping good feelings flowing. So that when you do hit a challenge, you’re already adept at knowing how to steer your relationship into happiness again.
Love is and must be a practice. Through practice, love deepens. And it deepens in ways that will truly astound you. There is always room to go deeper, no matter where you are in your relationship.
If you’re single, these practices will prepare you for a significant relationship. If you’re already in a relationship, these practices will fortify your foundation, and help your love withstand any storm.

How to embody and live the principle and practice of “Always Making Love”
A delicious deepening of your capacity for compassion, respect and loving kindness

Session 2:
Masterful Communication: The Art and Heart of Connection
The number one complaint in most relationships is “I don’t feel heard or understood.”
Successful relationships are made or broken by the ways in which you do and don’t communicate with others.
No matter your current level of skill, you can discover how to become even more effective in the ways you engage through your presence, listening, words and accountability to your word.
This session is about the art and skills of masterful communication – to help all your interactions become opportunities for mutual understanding, connection and intimacy.

How to create win-win solutions (you can’t win at your partner’s expense!)
The art of listening, deep listening, and even deeper listening
The courage and skill of authenticity and truth telling
Session 3:
Radical Responsibility: Ending the Blame Game
You have far more power than you may realize to create the relationship you want.
It can be tempting to blame your partner. It’s often easier to see what he or she is doing that is a problem than to look at yourself and your contributions.
Do you tend to work hard at trying to get your partner to change? This is a common mistake, and it pulls the plug on love. Your loved ones never signed up for your partner-improvement program!
But there is a path to freedom, inner power and even joy: the practice of taking 100% responsibility.
This session is about harnessing the power of your attention and intention and putting yourself in the driver’s seat of your life and as the creator of satisfaction in all your relationships.
You’ll Discover:
How to free yourself from stories and beliefs that drain the life and love out of your relationships
How to cultivate the self-awareness (and courage) to take responsibility for your patterns
The pathway to liberate your partner from blame – and yourself from shame
How to turn the problems in relationship into opportunities for your own freedom
Session 4:
Self-Mastery: The Art and Practice of Emotional and Mental Stability
One of the greatest challenges in intimate relationships is the way in which your loved ones push your emotional buttons.
Your partner says or does something you don’t like, and you react emotionally…usually without even thinking. And you know how well that goes over.
You may say or do things you regret later. We call this “triggering.”
In this session , you will learn how to bring your clearest, most aware self to your partner and all your relationships.
You’ll Discover:

Session 7:
Discovering Your Genius and the Genius of Your Relationship
Within you, a Zone Of Genius lies waiting to be discovered and tapped. If you’re in a close relationship, there’s a Zone Of Genius in the relationship that can be accessed. Sound inspiring? It is!
In this class, you’ll work with a series of questions that illuminate your personal area of genius. You’ll also open up a dialogue with your innate genius in relationships.
In relationships, you synergize with the other person’s energy, creating more energy than either partner can manifest on their own. Most people burn up that energy in power struggles and conflict, but with a few simple tools you can harness the energy to manifest what you each most want.

Recycling relationship conflict is a form of addiction. When you end the addiction to struggle, you open up a new world of ease and harmony that you may not have imagined possible!
The myth is that relationships involve hard work, compromise and settling for less than what you really want. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Session 9:
Relationship as a Path to Unconditional Love
Love is the state of unconditional inclusion. Being a Kindred Spirit means using all your relationships as an opportunity to awaken from the constraints of the ego.
The focus in this session is on emptying you out, so that you can make room for being occupied by the consciousness of unconditional love.
Relationship is a healing path, a sanctuary to recover from the illusion of separation. Using relationship as a mirror is a challenging path, but one that can lead you into great awakening.
You’ll find your ego’s trickery exposed, which will allow you to get present to the impact of your separation wounds and take full responsibility in your relationships.
You’ll Discover:
Tools to presence love in all your relationships regardless of your circumstances or past experiences
How you can lean into the discomfort and have the difficult conversations that are necessary for the restoration of love
Session 10:
Making Upsets Your Allies
Mastery in relationships requires an understanding of upsets. Freedom is always there within you as you realize upsets aren’t personal.
Holding space for another’s upsets is terrific training in being present. It’s the best remedy for you, and the most loving act in any relationship.
Upsets are often about something other that what they seem. If used consciously as a tool for awakening, you can celebrate these emotional experiences as opportunities for deeper awareness and understanding with your partner.
You’ll Discover:
The real source of upset – and what to do about it
How to open, listen and lean into upsets as a way of creating a shift
The actual tools you need to transform upsets into allies
Session 11:
The Power of Apology and Completion
When you apologize to your partner, it’s
a powerful act of taking responsibility, which then restores power to yourself. In every situation taking 100% responsibility is a potent place to stand. It offers you the opportunity to be fully present in the moment with your partner and frees you from the past.

How expectations can sabotage your relationships and how to free yourself
The empowering difference between expectations and requests
The practice of being worthy of making powerful requests
Bonus #1: Cultivating Trust in a Transformational Intimacy
Guest Faculty: Saniel and Linda Groves-Bonder
Trust is so often overlooked in our efforts to find true partners and create intimate relationships that can truly last. It takes time to build trust – and actually requires the inevitable challenges and crises that come up in authentic relating. This is especially true if you are wanting to create a “transformational intimate partnership” rather than a conventional union that actually suppresses or deadens growth and change in each partner.
In this bonus session, we’ll explore these and related topics:
Why trust trumps love and why any sexuality that does not prioritize trust is missing the mark, no matter how energetic and blissful lovers can get
The “first males” and “first females” in our lives (parents, adult relatives, older and sometimes younger siblings) – and the ongoing impact that violation and betrayal of innocent trust in early life and its legacy in adulthood, no matter how spiritually attuned or awake we may become
Why open-ended commitment comes last in wise, yet inevitably daring explorations, toward enduring transformational partnership, and what we have to be willing to risk to find the love and trust we truly desire
After a basic initial presentation, we’ll make plenty of time for Q&A, personal sharing, and comments from listeners for a very lively and heartfelt session.
Bonus #2: The Secrets to Creating a Sacred Union
Guest Faculty: Stephen Dinan and Devaa Haley Mitchell
For 11 years now, Stephen and Devaa have engaged their partnership as an awakening practice. Their love is the most fulfilling, joyful and transformative part of their lives – and it’s what allowed them to co-create The Shift Network together. Now they are delighted to share with you the secrets for creating a vibrantly alive and divine committed relationship.
They’ll get honest and real with you, offering precise practices and insights into how your relationships can become truly sacred, filled with truth-telling, healing, juiciness, deep kinship, co-creation and mutual empowerment. You’ll learn practices and insights to help you:
Channel masculine and feminine energies into their highest expression
Create practices that deepen the love and allow you to work with the most challenging areas
Respect and balance the differences in relationship
Create “temple time” for healing, awakening, and higher states of awareness

Bonus #3: Partnership Between Equals for the Purpose of Spiritual Growth
A Recorded Interview with Gary Zukav and Linda Francis, Hosted by Gay & Katie Hendricks
Using their own relationship over the years as an example, Gary and Linda discuss authentic power vs. the one-up-one-down power struggles that characterize most close relationships.
They will share how when you challenge the frightened, angry and jealous sides of your personality you can then open to true partnership and a deep sense of meaning, purpose and joy! A true spiritual partnership is also the opportunity to
