Learning
for real life.
You're looking for powerful ideas about how people work, but you're not looking for a 12 credit class - or therapy. Learning Humans workshops are that in-between kind of learning. What's more, these workshops address the in-between spaces; the spaces where work meets our personal lives, where our inside experiences meet the outside world, where two partners come together.
School doesn't prepare us for the interpersonal components of this work. Family, faith, and community might not consider neurophysiology. And our evolutionary histories certainly don't match up to modern life.
​
While the following workshops may seem to span significant content, all is united by a theme; find yourself a spot in a workshop if you're seeking to increase your connection, to span the distance.
