Take a Live Online Course with Sarah

Without healthy boundaries, it is so much harder to take care of ourselves. Claiming time and space for exercise, making healthy food, and getting the right amount of sleep can seem like climbing a mountain. In this course, Sarah Peyton will guide you on an exploration into how to know your limits and express them without having to pay more than you have in energy and shame backlashes.

In these two classes, we integrate Porges’ Polyvagal Theory with the contract tool to uncover and transform patterns of dissociation, including contracts that keep us from fully entering or inhabiting the body, both in terms of classic dissociation and in terms of the left shift into the instrumental brain and out of relationship.

Before his death, Jaak Panksepp received multiple requests to include DISGUST in his list of circuits. He refused. But the importance of DISGUST for self-knowledge, boundaries and for the integration of healthy SEXUALITY cannot be denied. The reclamation of healthy DISGUST is the reclamation of personal and systemic balance. Join Sarah Peyton to explore DISGUST in constellations.

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.

Practice resonant language in relationship, and discover your own sweetness.
