Join embodiment and relationship coach, Roberto Rodriguez, for an introduction to the Relational Integrity Framework and learn how to stay connected through difference. For group leaders, facilitators, community-builders, or anyone wanting to increase their relational skills. 

About the event

There’s more at play when building relationships than the naked eye can see. Visible and invisible dynamics influence the structure of our shared realities. When we become aware of these forces, we can navigate them more intentionally, increasing our connection and our ability to relate with integrity.

In this 2-hour introductory and highly interactive workshop, participants will learn the basics of the Relational Integrity Framework with relationship educator-coach and group facilitator Roberto Rodriguez.

The Relational Integrity Framework draws from living systems theory, Indigenous cosmology,  liberation pedagogy, somatic psychology, and depth psychology. 

The framework helps us to map the complex structural realities our relationships exist within while training our capacity to remain connected, adaptive and generative across differences so that shared-meaning and collective sense-making can take root.

Together we will think, move, discuss, and challenge ourselves to discover what it means to dream and build our future across differences and with relational integrity.

We will explore:

• The 4 levels of relational integrity: personal, interpersonal, systemic, and transpersonal (or “more-than-human”)
• The importance of and how to sense the  “field”
• The structural dynamics that influence our relationships, how they limit our ability to relate, and how to work with them
• The language of archetypal and symbolic patterns, how they show up in our relations, and how to work with them for a sense of shared-meaning while honoring complexity
• The elements of “mapping” a group process/dynamic while considering appropriate “pacing”

Without an aim of finding answers or drawing conclusions, Roberto will lead participants through multi-sensory learning to “wrestle” with the basic concepts of the Relational Integrity Framework through dyad, small group, and whole group practices.

The Relational Integrity Framework can be used by group facilitators, leaders, community-builders, and anyone who wants to improve their relational skills.
