Sarah is offering her Your Resonant Self for Relationships Workshop in a unique online format, comprised of three 3-day workshops focusing on the EMERGENCE/SEXUALITY circuit plus bonus material and additional skill-building sessions.
Introducing the Juicy Relational Online Series
What happens with our relationships, whatever kind of relationships we have, when we claim our full aliveness? What happens in a marriage, in a friendship, as a lover, as an employer/employee, parent, or friend when we are present in our full truth, and when we expect love and respect and we feel delight, rather than believing that we are somehow a burden in the relationship? What happens when we release the contracts that sabotage us? What happens if we mourn instead of blame? What is it like to live in resonant, rather than instrumental, space in our relationships?
The answers to these questions come with experiences of warm and resonance understanding, untangle the knots of trauma that keep us from our full expression, and unblocking the flow of our life energy by unblocking our circuits of emotion and motivation. A major key is found when we free up our EMERGENCE/SEXUALITY circuit. Regardless of our actual level of sexual activity or interest in sex, this can be a revelatory circuit to explore, because it’s implicated in how we get to be who we are, and is part of everyone’s journey from childhood to adulthood. Our EMERGENCE/SEXUALITY circuit is the pathway that allows us to be our true selves. How does this circuit manifest in regular relationships, and how does it show up in relationships where we are physically intimate?
Please join Sarah Peyton for a 3-part exploration of the foundational concepts of Sarah’s books, Your Resonant Self, and especially its accompanying workbook, and learn how to apply those concepts to our closest relationships, to work toward more connection, intimacy, and joy with our beloveds.
Participants are welcome to join this online exploration in pairs, alone, or with friends or family (for a special pricing offer of 2 for the price 1 enrollment – bring a friend/lover/partner/family member for free! )
This event series includes three parts: Part 1: April 14-16, 2023: The EMERGENCE/SEXUALITY Circuit: Reactivity and Healing, Part 2: July 14-16, 2023, Engaging and Emerging: How the Circuits Interact, and Part 3: November 10-12, 2023, Becoming Relational: Exploring the I-You Space.
The majority of time will be focused on everyday EMERGENCE/SEXUALITY – our circuit of individuation and uniqueness. For those interested in physical intimacy, there will be special optional extra sessions focused particularly on sexuality, including a session on healing from sexual abuse and assault.
This event series includes 3 bonuses, including group skill-building and practice sessions between the three events to begin to work with and untangle the relational dynamics in our closest connections. The bonuses (worth almost $1200) and the 2-for-1 promotion (another $1000) add up to over $2000 in value that you get for free by signing up for the full events series. We hope you’ll join us!
This Online Series Includes Three Events:
Juicy Relational Skills for Emergence Part 1: The EMERGENCE/SEXUALITY Circuit: Reactivity and Healing
What causes us to react to others and how long does it take for our bodies to calm? What is the impact of our trauma histories on our relationships? Do we get to relax and laugh in our relationships again? Learn the role implicit memory plays in reactivity, and how we can use empathy and resonance skills to transform reactivity into calm and connection.
This weekend workshop also includes an optional 90-minute bonus session on healing from sexual harm, including demos and practices. The bonus session on physical intimacy in this session will cover understanding and healing from sexual abuse and assault.
This event is part 1 of a 3-part series exploring resonance and relationships, how we can use the foundational concepts of Sarah’s books, Your Resonant Self and its accompanying workbook, to transform relationships with those we are closest to.

Juicy Relational Skills for Emergence Part 2: Engaging and Emerging: How the Circuits Interact

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.

Receive Resonant Support
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.
The Series Comes with Three Free Bonuses
Bonus #1: Free Access to Sarah’s 2023 Monthly Neuroscience and Resonance Webinars from April to October 2023.
Each Sarah offers a thematic, research-based webinar about relational neuroscience and how to use empathy and resonance and other trauma-informed processes to heal. Each webinar is approximately 90 minutes, including slides and presentation, then plenty of room for questions.
By registering for Sarah’s 2023 Juicy Emergence 3-part event you will receive free access to Sarah’s April, May, June, July, August, September and October webinars in 2023, which are held using Zoom video conferencing. Recordings are available for those who cannot attend during the live broadcast.
Bonus #2: Free Access to Sarah’s Introduction to Resonant Language: 8-week Online Course
Have you ever wondered why some people’s presence, support and listening feels so good, while other people’s support doesn’t seem to have much impact?
When we have a sense of being “gotten,” when we are deeply attuned to, we take in the nourishment and attention and care like thirsty, struggling plants finally receiving the water and nutrients we need to grow.
Resonant attention and language changes the way we see ourselves. With our new eyes, we start to transform our experiences of shame, rage, terror and self-doubt into the sense that we are enough, just as we are.
This course uses relational neuroscience to explain how to use the language of the right hemisphere to access our innate, human capacity for deep resonance with ourselves and each other.
The course includes videos, handouts and worksheets, online assessments and journal prompts to take you through 8 weeks of study, however this course can be done slower or faster if desired.
Bonus #3:
- Six Live 90-Minute Skill-Building and Practice Sessions with Sarah Peyton
Registration in this series includes a total of 6 live 90-minute group skill-building and practice sessions with Sarah Peyton between weekend intensives, dates, and times to be announced.
Immerse yourself in resonance to transform fragmentation and trauma into wholeness and transform how you see yourself and others.
What Couples Are Saying about Sarah’s Your Resonant Self Retreats
If someone had told us six months ago that knowledge about brain anatomy would help resolve traumatic upset, we would have wondered what they were smoking! After being in Sarah’s workshops where she teaches about how our brain works and what trauma is, everything is different.
For thirty years we have interacted impulsively, re-traumatizing each other again and again by allowing reactivity to color our interactions in the mistaken belief that we could thereby shock each other into being caring. But now after studying with Sarah, we are finding that we can bring warm, compassionate understanding to ourselves and to each other more and more often, with remarkable impact on our peace of mind and peace in our household. Thank you!”
