What Fundamentals of Authentic Relating teaches
Life is composed of relationships.
No matter where we turn, we will find that the quality of our life is fundamentally tethered to the quality of our relationships.
Take a moment right now to reflect on some of your most memorable life experiences.
You will probably find that at least some of them, if not all of them, include other people.
Love, family, friendships, community, prosperity, and sex… all come back to the quality of our relationships with other people.
“Humans are not solitary creatures. We are in relationship, always. Do you ever stop and ask yourself, “What is the quality of these relationships in my life?”
— Damien Bohler, course creator
We grow high-quality relationships through high-quality relating....
Relating that is vulnerable, mindful, joyful, in integrity to our authentic selves, and capable of listening deeply to others.
Yet relating is not something we are taught.
We grew up watching the adults around us and many of us didn’t have the best role models. So we’ve all inherited less-than-elegant ways of relating.
These ways of relating have been harming our relationships. Creating conflict and misunderstanding where it doesn’t need to exist.
The great thing is that relating is a skill that really can be developed.
What you’ll learn in each module
The Fundamentals of Authentic Relating contains eight modules that build from each other to transform you into an elegant communicator
Join the LIVE Course1
Embodied Relating
We will explore a powerful synergy between deep listening and vulnerability through embodying the principles of presence, acceptance and non-judgment.
2
Reflective Listening
Developing this listening skill leads to a magical ability to really have others feel seen, heard and validated in your presence and offers a state of deep safety and relaxation.
3
Curiosity
Curiosity is a relational tool that leads others to comfortably reveal their depths, creating the possibility of beautiful and novel bonding experiences.
4
Transformative Listening
Expanding on the reflective listening module, here we develop the skill to offer profoundly transformative reflections and deep experiences of feeling seen.
5
Desire
Having the ability to vulnerably express your needs and desires leads to the depth and quality of relational experiences that you most want.
6
Boundaries
Elegant boundaries are the ability to maintain differentiation from others while also feeling close to them. This capacity is absolutely crucial in healthy relating.
7
Attunement
This module teaches how to step into the “we” space. Stepping into this field with another, even for a moment, is deeply nourishing and expansive, beyond words.
8
Appreciation
All things come to a close. This module allows us the time and space to reflect on the experience, integrate and appreciate the beautiful journey we’ve undertaken together.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes it will definitely help. We've had psychologists, psychotherapists, coaches and social workers all join this course and all have reported learning something new and having better results with their clients as they use the skills they learn here to improve their practice!
Big question! The short answer is that it is a framework of communication that allows us to show up more authentically in the world, being able to share ourselves vulnerably, own our desires more fully, and express our boundaries more clearly while at the same time being able to listen in a way that supports others to do the same.
Like NVC (non-violent communication) yet more robust, modern and with wider applications.
The course is run as a live online offering. There are several major components to the course:
• 8 weeks of facilitated practice sessions where all the practices from the course are covered.
• A course library with all the theory content & demonstrations of all practices (with lifetime access).
• A private chat group and opportunity for extra practices each week with course participants.
Good question! For us, we truly believe that the quality of our lives is determined by the quality of our relationships. The most meaningful experiences many of us have are usually with others, and this course offers you the skills to upgrade all your relationships and, as a result, impact the quality of your life overall. It certainly has for all of us!
The course itself takes place within a container of up to 26 participants. During the 8 weeks expect to have significant bonding experiences with other participants. Solid and lasting friendships, and even relationships, have formed from this course. We have had participants be able to visit each other while travelling, and many meetups from those in the same cities.
You will be invited to a private Telegram group for the duration of the course where you will be able to easily connect with others.
Yep! This course is a beautiful thing to do with a partner, your relating will never be the same again. Over the last two years I have had several couples come through the course, all reporting significant improvements in the depth and intimacy of their connection. If you are attending in a couple, however, we request that you both sign up and attend the calls on your own devices to get the most out of the course by practicing with the other participants (the diversity of the experience adds a lot).
Absolutely. This course is not focused on romantic relationships, it is focused on developing relational skills… which apply to ALL relationships. These skills are powerful in dating (and I’ve used a lot of the practices you will learn on dates), with friends, with family, and even with your work colleagues! They are also great as preparation for finding a deep romantic relationship.
