We live in a world where relationships are hard work, disposable, painful, and just plain not worth it. We react from our emotions and make others suffer while we insist on being right about both big and little things. Inside this context / paradigm we are expected to create lasting and loving relationships…forget it!

Whether we realize it or not we are affected by this paradigm throughout our lives. That’s true whether we like it or not and whether we think so or not. When this context or paradigm is unseen by us and not acknowledged or not intervened into we have the results we are living with today.

Our work is designed to make this aspect of our lives conscious and accessible so that we can recognize how it affects us in the way we relate with the people in our lives, including ourselves.

Yes, there are positive aspects of our relationship paradigm as well. These are what we are striving to achieve and live from because the “negative” aspects dominate the way we relate. Developing these “positive” characteristics takes attentive and purposeful effort and practice.

For now, and until our current paradigm fully shifts, we can bring about satisfying and fulfilling relationships by operating outside of our current paradigm and individually bringing about that shift in our lives and impacting the lives of those we touch. Our practices are designed to intervene in our current paradigm. They give us the keys to creating “partnerships” with everyone in our lives.
