Weekend Workshop led by Certified Trainer, Michael Kolb.
Transform your Life by Telling the Truth
Take a dive into self-exploration and honest self-expression with the tried and true process of Radical Honesty in this Weekend Workshop.
Tired of feeling alone, disappointed, and frustrated in your personal and professional relationships?
Fed up with dishonesty and fakery?
Hungry for authentic connection with brave people who want to cut the bullshit and get real?
Radical Honesty is the cure for the disconnection of modern life. It's the antidote to playing it small. And it just might save us all from ourselves :)
What you can expect from this Weekend Workshop:
The reinvigoration that comes from dropping your pretending and opening up to those around you
An intentional context in which to express yourself in ways that you normally hide
Heightened awareness of your own experience from moment to moment
Guided practice expressing yourself simply and directly
Guided practice in getting over your hangups
Support for how to deal with the difficult people in your life

In this workshop we will learn and put into practice the foundational Radical Honesty Distinctions, including Noticing vs. Imagining, the Awareness Continuum, and expressing Resentments & Appreciations. We work with whatever arises in the moment, whatever you bring to the group.
If you’re struggling in a relationship, trapped in your mind, needing encouragement or support, wanting real-world practice with real-world examples, or seeking to build community with other honest folk like yourself, this is workshop is for you!
This workshop is for newbies and experienced Radical Honesty practitioners alike. We will cover the foundational Radical Honesty distinctions and get some experiential practice in applying those distinctions in our lives from moment to moment.
Even if you've already participated in a multiple Radical Honesty events, our workshops are designed to be experiential, placing the bulk of the focus on deepening your practice, more than learning new ideas.

WHAT IS A RADICAL HONESTY WORKSHOP?
A Radical Honesty Weekend Workshop is a playground for us to experiment with telling the truth out loud. This means building greater awareness of and speaking with more clarity about whatever arises for us in the moment in a simple, direct, and congruent way.
Through direct sharing, we can see how we have held ourselves back from creating the relationships we want, having the intimacy we crave, and living the lives of our dreams.
Radical Honesty principles and skills are taught in a planned, experiential sequence to support us in telling the truth and sticking with whatever comes up. We want you to leave the weekend with a new set of communication skills and freedom from obsessive thinking.

“It is difficult to transition into adulthood in a world full of adolescents. This practice of Radical Honesty has been the most important work I've done in my personal journey of growing up and I'm hungry to surround myself with others who want to embark on this journey with me. There's a whole lot of road left for us to travel.” -Mak
