Resonance Basics – Language That Connects – April 2026

About the Event

Do you long to feel connected to yourself and the people around you? Do you struggle to communicate your emotions effectively, or often find yourself feeling overwhelmed in moments of distress?

The practices of Resonant Language support us in connecting our physical sensations and language, in order to support us in being more fully in our integrity when we are in dialogue with others. Through deep attention to the words we use, and how those words impact the emotional states of our brains and bodies, we can begin to free ourselves from our own learned behavioral patterns.

Resonant Language is a practice in precision: precision in our language, as well as precision in our relationship with our bodies and environments. This practice, of paying warm attention to ourselves and our loved ones, has the power to radically change our lives.

Sarah Peyton has developed nine types of Resonant Language, all of which support us in our quests for connection, mutual understanding, care, and emotional nourishment. In this 8-week course, you will begin to build a solid foundation of Resonant Language skill, in order to create a more gentle and understanding relationship with yourself and others. This practice leads to the embodied changes of a kinder brain, the impacts of which ripple out to all corners of our lives and relationships.

In each 85-minute class, Sarah Peyton and Jaya Manske will present and make connections across the most cutting edge relational neuroscience research into how language and the brain interact, and participants will practice these skills in Resonant Language breakouts. There will be support for all students to create and develop Resonant Practice Partnerships outside of class.
