Love, Trauma, and Relationships – Terry Real & Thomas Hubl

Many of us crave more connection and more intimacy in our relationships, but we don’t know how to create it.

And why would we? It’s something we’ve never been taught.

We live in a world that champions competition not collaboration, the individual not community.

And right now, we’re living in a world that’s more disconnected than ever, experiencing significant trauma and hurt.

This creates a pressure cooker environment in which pain radiates into our day-to-day lives and relationships, even though we may not consciously be aware of it.

By changing the way you relate to others, you can learn to heal the wounds of the past.

But in order to do that, you need a shared framework and mutual understanding of how to support one another and the planet as a whole.

As you move through these online teachings, you’ll watch Terry and Thomas work—combining methods from psychotherapy and spiritual practices—with individuals and couples who consciously choose to bring their relationships to the next level.

These are the topics you'll explore:

• How to shift from individual consciousness to relational consciousness.

• Moving from a 2-dimensional into 3-dimensional embodied consciousness that allows witnessing.

• How to stay open when your early wounds are brought to the surface, rather than becoming defensive.

• What it means to feel the trauma of your partner in your body and how to work with it together.

• How our body stores fear in the nervous system and what this means in relationships.

• The importance of co-regulation as a tool with our partner.

• What it means to transform our legacies in relationship & the different aspects we face when we choose to do the work.

Themes:

• Dealing With Wounds Within Our Significant Relationships

• Healing Our Legacies: Collective and Multigenerational Trauma

• Growth Practices for Sacred Relationships

• Eros and Embodiment in Relationships

• Dissolving Fear Into Vulnerability and Intimacy

The Revolutionary Love Training Course: How to Love Others, Our Opponents, and Ourselves – Valarie Kaur

A renowned visionary presents a training course in love-centered practices for transforming ourselves and our world.

How do we show up with love in a time of turmoil? What can love do in the face of fear and oppression? How do we find longevity and joy and beloved community? In The Revolutionary Love Training Course, renowned activist and visionary Valarie Kaur shows us how to harness the force of love in our relationships with others, opponents, and ourselves. It begins with wonder. You can look at anyone and say: You are a part of me I do not yet know. From there, we begin to transform the world around us—and within us.

In these sessions, you will explore the ten core practices of Revolutionary Love—how to reclaim wonder, be brave with your grief, harness your rage, reimagine solutions, embrace joy, and more. Drawing on wisdom learned on the front lines of social justice movements and research in religion, law, ethics, and science, Kaur’s new framework has been called a moral compass for our time.

Your training will include:

• The three pillars of Revolutionary Love: See No Stranger, Tend the Wound, and Breathe & Push

• Cultivating wonder as the building block for love

• Fighting for justice and liberation through fierce nonviolence

• Creating safe containers for our rage and harnessing rage for action

• Deep listening beyond “us” and “them”

• Loving ourselves as a way to find longevity and joy in all our labors

“The world is in transition,” says Kaur. “Some days are so deadly, I can taste ash in my mouth. Other days, I see glimpses of the world wanting to be born. A society awakened to the truth of our interdependence. How do we birth that world together? We can create a shift in consciousness and culture. A love without limit. Revolutionary love.” This is a powerful course to transform the way you relate to everyone in your life—and inspire you with a vision of a world that leaves no one behind.

Offered as either streaming audio or a CD.

The People's Inauguration: 10 Days to Activate Revolutionary Love – Valarie Kaur, Reverend Angel Kyodo Williams, Various Presenters

In Valarie’s words: “Revolutions do not happen only in grand moments in public view, but also in small pockets of people coming together to inhabit a new way of being.” Join Valarie and an extraordinary community of activists, thinkers, writers, and artists in this global movement to reclaim love as a force for justice and change in our world—including Baratunde Thurston, America Ferrera, Rev. Dr. Traci Blackmon, Rabbi Sharon Brous, Ai-jen Poo, Bryan Stevenson, and many more.

Let’s Birth a Future Where Love Is a Force for Justice!

Valarie Kaur considers revolutionary love to be the call of our time. As rising hate violence, pervasive social injustice, and an isolating pandemic threaten to drive us further apart, we must root ourselves in a culture of love that extends in three directions: to others, to our opponents, and to ourselves.

The People’s Inauguration puts those ideas into practice with 10 core teachings to take into the world. If you have ever felt hopeless about our future, overwhelmed by the challenges ahead, breathless from the continued labour for justice, or simply not sure where to start in activating change, this summit will provide you with a compass for navigating a world in rebirth.

What you’ll learn:

Loving Others—When we wonder about one another, grieve with one another, and fight with and for one another we can build the solidarity needed for collective liberation and transformation -- a solidarity rooted in love.

Loving Opponents—When we learn to harness our rage and listen to even our opponents, we can gain the information necessary to reimagine cultures and institutions that protect dignity for all of us.

Loving Ourselves—We can care for ourselves by remembering the wisdom of the midwife: breathe and push. Breathing together, letting joy in, and pushing through fear to become our best selves allows us to summon the bravery to transition from one reality to another
