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.

You’ll Discover:

• 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
• Jumpstarting and sustaining the cycle of loving so what you appreciate, appreciates!
• Guidance to deeply experience the transformative power of empathy

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.

You’ll Discover:

• How to live in full presence and activate the creative aliveness of your relationships
• 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:

• How to identify your own triggers-those situations in relationship where you tend to get thrown off balance and just react
• How to interrupt your patterns and turn them into opportunities to love
• Specific tools for quickly bringing yourself back to mental clarity and emotional stability

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.

In this class you’ll learn the surprisingly easy and powerful actions and choices you can take to create more ease in your relationships, both your relationship with others and with yourself.

You’ll Discover:

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.

• 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.

• 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.

You’ll Discover:

• How the tools of completion can restore love in all your relationships
• How to disarm your wounds through the power of apology and take 100% responsibility
