FALL COURSES
Are Boundaries Making Us Better at Relationships?
October 20 and 27, 2026
Boundaries can bring clarity, protection, and greater personal responsibility into relationships. They can also become rigid rules that leave little room for communication, responsiveness, or repair.
This course explores what healthy boundaries actually require and how they fit within the larger work of being in relationship.
How We Adapt to Life Before We Understand It
November 3 and 10, 2026
Understanding how our earliest relationships shaped us can bring important clarity. It can also leave us wondering what to do with that understanding and how to hold a fuller view of our parents, ourselves, and what happened between us.
This course explores personal history through a developmental and relational lens, creating room for understanding, complexity, and greater choice in the present.
Maybe Nothing Is Wrong With You
November 17 and 24, 2026
People often interpret their patterns, sensitivities, reactions, and struggles as evidence that something is wrong with them.
A developmental view asks a different question: What might this response be trying to accomplish, protect, or carry?
This course explores how human responses take shape and how greater context can create a more compassionate and useful understanding of ourselves.
HOW EACH COURSE WORKS
Each course includes:
two live 90-minute online sessions
guided teaching and reflection
practical examples connected to everyday life
opportunities to ask questions
a participant learning resource
limited-time access to session recordings
a certificate of completion
Sessions are held through Zoom. Connection details and course information are sent after registration.
Recordings will be available to registered participants for 14 days following the second session.
Each course stands on its own, so you can choose the topic/question that feels most relevant to your life.
Taken together, the three courses offer a connected exploration of:
how we relate to other people
how our histories continue to shape us
how we understand the responses we carry
No previous 12 Petalled Lotus learning is required.
