How do we create healthy relational culture? At work, at home, in our communities and in our change-making, Healthy Human Culture offers insights and practices to deepen understanding of how we can make (or break) positive dynamics between us.
Join a new 7-week online learning journey with Sophy Banks and the Healthy Human Culture team to explore principles and practices for growing and restoring health in any group of people.
“It is a really clear map for understanding ourselves and our triggers, and supports us to find ways to bring ourselves back to equilibrium.” VP, participant 2022
Practical information
All learning journeys are seven online sessions of 2.5 hours, weekly or fortnightly. Alternate weeks focus on: learning, using presentations, embodied practices and inquiries; and bringing your own real life situations to explore with the facilitators and other group members. This grounds the concepts in your actual current experience.
All sessions are facilitated by Sophy plus one facilitator who will accompany the full journey, with additional support each week. See more of the wide range of skills and experience the facilitation team are bringing here. Recordings and notes from every session will be available during and after the programme
Cost: £125 – 250 or €145 – 290 for the full journey, includes downloadable recordings of all sessions. Please be in touch if you need a bursary place – we want the work to be accessible to all those who want to benefit from it.
