Weekend Workshop led by Certified Trainer, Lindsay St. Antoine and Trainer Candidate, Tony Cuseo.

Learn the Art of Intimacy and Connection

What is Radical Honesty?

Radical Honesty is a method for authentic communication. It’s also a way of being in the world.

Primarily, Radical Honesty allows us to cut through the bullshit stories we sell ourselves and others. Instead of performing our typical sales pitch, we tell the truth instead.

We express what is present for us in the here and now – be it fear, anger, appreciation, or whatever else shows up in the moment.

Telling the truth takes guts. It isn’t for the faint of heart.

And in our experience, it’s worth it.

Why tell the truth?

We in the Radical Honesty Community are all recovering liars.

We chose to give up lying and to tell the truth instead because lying wasn’t working for us.

We thought pretending we weren’t mad, hurt, or sad, and pretending we were happy and grateful instead, would get us love and connection, but it didn’t.

Out of desperation, we took a chance and started telling people what we really thought and felt

To our surprise, a good chunk of the time, telling the truth ended up creating the love and connection that we longed for all along.

When we told the truth, people tended to love us more. Who knew?

What will happen at this workshop? 

At its core, Radical Honesty is a noticing practice. 

We contend that despite what you’ve been sold, noticing is far more important and far more valuable, than thinking.

The ability to distinguish between thinking and noticing – being able to tell the difference between your mind’s interpretations of “reality,” and your own grounded, observable, experience in the moment – is the key to freedom, connection, and love.

We will lead you through a series of lectures, directed conversations, paired exercises, small group exercises, hot seat work, and meditation, all of which are aimed at helping you practice grounding in noticing rather than stories and interpretation.

Once you’re grounded in noticing your own experience, you’ll begin sharing your noticings out loud with others. 

This is the basis for intimacy.

Reporting out loud, moment to moment, what’s true for you, and being present to others who are revealing their present moment experience as well, is all it takes.

It doesn’t sound like much does it?

The truth is it isn’t.

It ain’t much. And, it ain’t easy. 

The problem is most of us have been brainwashed into believing that our mind’s interpretation of reality is reality.

We’ve also been sold the idea that pretending to be nice, sweet, and loving, even when we feel pissed off, is the way to get love and give love. 

It turns out the opposite is true. 

When you’re grounded in noticing instead of thinking, and you’re revealing what’s actually true for you moment to moment, love, connection, freedom, creativity, and a bunch of other things most of us tend to enjoy show up.

And the even better news is that they show up all on their own, without any forcing or pretending on our part.

Is this workshop for me?

The practice of Radical Honesty is for you if you’re looking to experience more freedom in your life, and if you want to let go of shame, fear, and attachment to approval.

This workshop is also up your alley if you’re exhausted at the thought of pretending and playing make-believe any longer.

If you yearn for deeper love, connection, and intimacy, and you’re wanting to heal your relationships and find forgiveness, you’ll be in good company.

What if I’m scared of telling the truth?

Join the club! 

As we said, telling the truth can be scary.

Being real is often accompanied by unpleasant sensations – tension in the jaw, heat in the chest, heart racing, headache, you name it. 

Radical Honesty is built on the principle that what you resist, persists. And what you experience fully, comes and goes.

When you resist feeling the tension in your jaw and resist your thumping heartbeat, those sensations tend to persist. 

The same is true for emotions.

The more you resist being mad, or sad, or jealous – the more you resist saying out loud what’s true for you, the more you stay stuck in those feelings. 

Conversely, if you allow yourself to feel your feelings and express them, and be with the sensations that follow, those sensations will intensify at first, then slowly fade away.

Paradoxically, the more you allow yourself to experience yourself just as you are, even when the experience is uncomfortable, the less you end up suffering.  

That’s our experience, anyway.

And, it’s what we trainers are here for.

It’s our job to support you through any and all feelings and sensations that arise. 

We’ll coach you through unpleasant sensations, as well as pleasant ones, which are also hard to be with at times. 

Sometimes love, appreciation, and pleasure are just too much to bear!

Lindsay St. Antoine

I partner with folks who are ready and aspiring to get free and intimate through self revealing, who are eager to emerge as their bold, authentic selves and create a life of exhilarating self expression and deep realness.

I’m an honesty coach and Radical Honesty Trainer in Denver, Colorado. In addition to providing honesty coaching, I also lead in-person and online Radical Honesty workshops.

I worked closely with Radical Honesty founder, Brad Blanton, beginning in 2014, filling many roles within Radical Honesty Enterprises, ending with my role as COO in 2021. I was certified as a Radical Honesty Trainer in 2017.

I have a great capacity for being with and fully witnessing people in their shame, embarrassment, anger or darker emotions, and ushering in whatever naturally arises for them in those spaces. For empowering people to stick with themselves (and each other) in these vulnerable and often uncomfortable spaces, and fully experience their whole experience. In doing so, shifts can occur, full body forgiveness naturally arises, and they may come to know themselves and be able to share themselves fully with others.
