Juicy Relational Skills to Heal Shame: 3-Part Workshop Series
How does shame hijack our capacity for intimacy? How can we heal our shame and find each other?
Join Sarah for this special three-part workshops to dive deep into the neuroscience of shame, and skill-build resonant practices for healing.
How does our shame impact our ability to connect with others? What would happen if we could release the contracts that sabotage our capacity for intimacy with others? Who would we be? How would we love?
In this year-long program, the answers to these questions come with experiences of warm and resonant understanding. We untangle the knots of trauma that keep us from our full expression, and unblock the flow of our life energy by freeing ourselves from shame. A major key is found when we discover the importance of how alarmed aloneness stamps every moment of our lives. In this program, we learn the relationship between shame and aloneness, and we learn processes and skills to heal this shame.
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 relationships with ourselves and our closest people, 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 26-28, 2024: Understanding Shame and Resonance
Part 2: July 12-14, 2024: Healing Developmental Shame
Part 3: November 15-17, 2024: Healing Shame in Relationship.
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 to Heal Shame Part 1: Understanding Shame and Resonance
What is the root cause of shame? What actions cause us to react to others with shame and how long does it take for our bodies to calm? What is the role of alarmed aloneness in shame? How does everyday stress play a part? What is the impact of our trauma histories on shame and on our relationships? Do we get to relax and laugh in our relationships again? Learn the role implicit memory plays in shame, and how we can use resonance skills to transform shame into relaxation and warmth.
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. This event is available as a 2-for-1 enrollment (purchase one registration and you’ll be able to invite another person for free!)
You are welcome to register for any of the three individual events in the 3-part series, however, registering for the full 3-Part Immersion might be a good fit if you’d like to access the content bonuses and bonus group skill-building/practice sessions.

How does shame start in our adult relationships? What is the role of the instrumental brain? How does contempt contribute to shame? Learn about and begin to transform the contracts that lead to shame, prevent true expression and authentic relationship.

What Couples Are Saying about Sarah’s
Juicy Relational Skills 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!
