About the Event

Do you ever feel resistance, annoyance, or a desire to advice-give when people you love experience difficult emotions? Do you long to expand your capacity in session work to stay with your people as they reach the edges of what you are able to hold? Have you ever noticed, when trying to do session work or emotional processing with someone, that there are just certain types of emotions you cannot stand in other people? Do you move into advice-giving, or annoyance, or trying to offer reframes, a brighter or more positive way they could think about it? 

These are examples where something is hitting you at the edges of your window of welcome. The window of welcome is the range of emotional experience we are able to tolerate in ourselves and others. When we encounter someone expressing emotions that exceed our window of welcome, we shift into various strategies that take us out of resonance, of being-with the person in front of us.

Join Sarah Peyton in February, 2024 to learn how to notice when you are straying or hitting the edges of your window of welcome, and learn how to use resonant language, unconscious contract work and time-travel to expand what is possible for you to be with in other people, especially in the context of session work. Learn how to go to the deep places together using the technology of resonant language, unconscious contracts and time-travel, and unravel the places in you that prevent you from being-with.

  • The neuroscience and practical skills of how to expand your window of welcome, including:
    • Time-traveling to resolve blocks to certain types of emotions and experiences

1:1 Resonant Support is Available

Get assistant support during classes – experience resonant support from experienced practitioners when you need it during class times. Often, this work can have unexpected depth and touch on deeply held subconscious awareness and pain. Getting support when we need it most helps participants to integrate, regulate, and have a felt experience of the transformative power of resonance.

Who is This Course For?

This course is specifically geared toward spaceholders, and people who are interested in therapeutic and emotional session-work, including resonance partners, empathy buddies, therapists and social workers. 

This class is more broadly open to anyone who would like to become a better listener, staying present in open and resonant attention when encountering the challenges and emotional depths of another human being. This could include relating to our loved ones, our partners and families and friends, as well as trauma that arises in activist movement spaces, or any other place where trauma and distress arise.

Total beginners and experienced resonance practitioners are welcome. This is for anyone interested in seeing how to expand your windows of welcome during dyadic session work, to practice and receive support as supportive practitioners to have solid ground when trauma arises for those you are holding space for.
