Take a Live Online Course with Sarah

Sarah Peyton will teach about resonance and navigating the emotional depths of the climate and ecological crisis

We live in difficult times, with overwhelming challenges affecting all of life on planet Earth. Against all odds, some of us lift up our heads above the grind to mobilize our resources to respond to intensifying climatic, political, and cultural crises. How do we nourish our capacity to do the work? With enough of three things. Vision maintains the faith that something else is possible. Action deepens our sense of agency and capacity to contribute. Mourning helps us be with the gap between our vision and what we see around us and realigns us with the flow of life.

Over the past years, our understanding of ADHD and the brains of those who experience it has shifted dramatically. What are we beginning to understand about its origins? And what can the way different people’s brains function teach us about connecting to one another and life differently? Join Sarah to explore the gifts of ADHD and the ways that resonance can support some of the struggles that come with the experience of ADHD.

These two classes review Beatrice Beebe’s research in relationship with contracts we make to maximize well-being in response to our parents’ attachment styles. These contracts particularly concern the way we mobilize our CARE and SEEKING circuits.

The climate crisis is undermining democracy just at the time we need it most. We need a strengthened ability to govern together, across divides, in order to forge our path toward a more just, sustainable future. Join Dr. Kate Knuth to explore practical approaches to responding to an ever-changing crisis.

Join Sarah for two days of in-person exploration to discover what relational neuroscience teaches us about projection and how to leverage our new knowledge.

Generation Dread examines wide raging mental health impacts of the ecological crisis, creative coping strategies for living more comfortably amidst profound eco-distress, what can be done to exercise flexible thinking about the future, and why we ought to be aware of psychological defences that prevent action.

What knowledge about the brain gives us leverage to really begin to see each other? Learn to tell the difference between instrumental and relational connections, and begin to walk the path toward more richness, meaning and intimacy. Practice resonant language in relationship, and discover your own sweetness.

While the SEXUALITY circuit is important for physical and relational intimacy, it is also the circuit that moves us out of childhood into our adult lives. It is the circuit of emergence of self, and so it is the circuit that we are most often unknowingly supporting, no matter what our constellations are ostensibly about. With more knowledge, constellation facilitators can track and support the movement of this circuit for their clients. Join Sarah Peyton to explore SEXUALITY in constellations.

Join world-renowned master constellation facilitator, Elena Veselago for this very rare opportunity to learn the foundations of constellation facilitation. Previously this course has only been taught in Russian at the Open Field Institute in Moscow and is being offered for the first time online, translated into English.

Join Sarah to learn about the neuroscience of OCD and to discover what kinds of resonance are most supportive for being in relationship with people with OCD or living with OCD.

The use of self-hate, disgust and contempt to manage emotions is an aftereffect of traumatic attachment, and so makes sense in the context of our lives. As we understand this, the root causes of the contracts made in disorganized attachment start to become clear. Jaak Panksepp’s linkage of predatory aggression with the SEEKING circuit helps to illuminate disorganization, and shows us an avenue for work.
