Our groups help with "emotional and social intelligence" both critical to personal and career success. These high functioning co-ed groups ideally consist of 6-8 well screened men and women matched to life stage and educational level with two co-leaders. Besides support, the group is a rich and safe environment for creating an authentic, connected and more meaningful life with other like-minded people. We work hard to achieve an atmosphere of safety, caring, intimacy, acceptance, introspection, and interpersonal transparency and honesty. These groups are for people seriously interested in improving their personal lives AND their interpersonal relationships.
