Enrollment is rolling—you can start today.

And continue on your own schedule.

As soon as you purchase the course, you'll be given access to the first week's curriculum. You'll receive further instructions in your email, and will be assigned an advisor who will be in touch with you within 72 hours. This advisor is available to answer any logistical questions and generally encourage you, as well as track your progress throughout the course, pointing you to whatever resources are most helpful for you.

Virtual

Level Up training can be completed entirely virtually—in fact this is the most common way to go through the program, as it was designed for online transformation and makes extensive use of Zoom and video content.

This makes it easy for you to leverage the expertise of our diverse facilitators and experience the power of our community regardless of your location in the world.

Level Up's personalized, asynchronous design helps you integrate new identities and insights into your daily life (rather than getting a weekend stretch followed by 'rubber-banding' back to old ways of being), and makes training available.

+ In-Person

Relatefulness in person, four days at a time, with other Level Up folks physically in the room with you?

You certainly don't need to. But for those who want it and are currently able to travel (or live in Austin), we're offering the option of adding four-day immersions in meat-space to Level Up. These will be exclusively for Level Uppers (and alumni who have trained with us).

Here are the dates for our next 3 are planned for Austin, TX, USA 🇺🇸 

These weekends are mysterious in their power and particularly useful for deepening in surrender. You'll be putting all you've learned together. You'll deeply bond, play, and challenge the foundational assumptions of who you are and how you relate. You'll also do specific practices (such as the starfishing context exercise from week 13, and Perspectives on Flow Sessions from week 22), Certification Sessions, and being in the wild mystery of not-knowing, collectively "following the movement of showing", as Heidegger would say.

Register for all three here.

Can I participate with audio only?

Yes; powerful leadership and love doesn't require visual information!

Please let us know if you plan to do this so we can alert our staff.

Get Clarity.
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦  8 Small Group Certification Sessions

Level up your discernment and prepare for the challenges of bringing Relatefulness into high-pressure situations by attending Certification sessions once a month for the duration of the training. Participants often report that these are the most transformative sessions, so we've included more of them than ever before.

So much good stuff! Here's a little bit of an overview:

Theory and Practice

Each week you'll receive a new lesson that includes:

• ~20 minutes of distinctions, mostly in the flow of a dialogue between two instructors for easy listening
  
  
• ~10 minutes of a specific practice to explore that distinction, demonstrated by the instructors
• ~30 minutes example Relateful sessions with meta-commentary throughout and afterwards.
  
  

Topics include (but aren't limited to):

• Leading Relatefulness Specifically
• Common Pitfalls and Failure Modes
• Navigating Flow Sessions
• Noticing the vibe of the 'we' and other forms of collective awareness
  
  

What's the deal with Waking Up 💭?

• How do I bring meditative states into connection?
• What is relational presence, and how does it help us thrive?
• What does it mean to trust the truth?
• Explore mystical and meditative states
• Recognize and sharing Meta-Awareness in yourself and others
• Step outside of endless loops of thinking
• Gain choice over traps of emotional upset so you can face the raw immediate truths of reality (and make more conscious choices)
• Let go of control...
• Opening to new channels of Information—body, emotions, mind, awareness, intuition, etc

How do I Grow Up 🐣 to Higher Levels of Leadership?

• How vs What: Change the way you relate to the world as a whole, rather than simply adding new skills and tools into your box
• VUCA: Train a deeper capacity to work with the unexpected and the unexplainable
• Radical open-mindedness, even in high intensity emotional situations
• Self-Authoring and Humble: Always updating so you lead toward a better world
• How to set and maintain firm and loving boundaries
• Tap the wisdom of adult developmental psychology to guide your growth through your unique challenges 
• Harness conflict and tension for evolutionary synthesis
• Let Go of Control: Navigate life and relationships with surrender and self-trust

How Do I Show Up 🤼 with more power & compassion?

• Positive Impact: How do we show up more powerfully in our leadership to make our experience and the world a better place?
• Surrender: How do we get out of the way, and what are we trusting when we do? 
• Love: How do we cultivate more empathy, compassion, and love—for ourselves as well as those that most get on our nerves? Personally and impersonally?
• The Power of No: How do we set elegant boundaries?
• Leading Groups: You'll be getting direct and specific feedback on what you can most work on to show up more with your self, others, and groups as a whole.
  
  

How can I Clean Up 🧹 my unique blindspots?

• See the previously unseen and stop accidentally hurting ourselves and each other with out-of-date understandings and narratives about reality?
• Subject-Object moves: Shine a light on your Shadow and level up your truth telling, ownership, understanding of projection
• Turn towards pain, learning when and how to embrace discomfort, healthy conflict, and imperfection
• Self-Acceptance: Stay in the now as 'healing' for yourself and others, while avoiding the problems with healing mindsets and trying to fix ourselves and others
• Self-Forgiveness: Get intimate with difficult emotions, the inner critic, our tendencies to spiritual bypass, collective shadows, and more
• Taking Responsibility: Understanding the nature of perception as projection & how to take ownership over what’s ours, and not take ownership over what’s not
  
  

You may 'level up' in unorthodox ways, like more surrender, letting go, trusting your gut, unlearning old habits, being agile in uncertainty, allowing more of your neediness and frailty, integrating ancient bodily and survival intelligences, upgrading your defenses and learning when to trust them more, dropping mental analysis and narrative self-reflection to rest in being and awe, allowing for more bottom up and top down informational flows processing simultaneously, and allowing the superficial and mundane aspects of your life to lead you into an always-accessible radiant wonder.

In other words, although the greater direction is love-truth, the path towards that is often very unpredictable (thank God!) 

Wide Embrace: Meta and Specific

This curriculum embraces a wide polarity of teaching the broadest framework to situate Relatefulness within, while at the same time teaching the fundamental skills and tools you can rely on in a pinch.

Claiming Your Unique Leadership

We've found over the years that only teaching tools results in dry, uninspiring, and ironically inauthentic connections, where people are "doing" the Relateful form, but not living its spirit.

For this reason we will be guiding you to find your own inner understanding and definition of what being Relateful is, how it fits into your life, and what your own standards for your practice are. We do this in conjunction with the established global, inter-organizational norms, and within the Integral Theory map which integrates mysticism and modern science into a cohesive understanding of human experience.

Practical Tools You Can Use Immediately

At the same time, we've found that if we go too 'meta' or philosophical, without providing enough balance, people often flounder in aperspectival madness and self-doubt. For this reason, you'll be getting a very specific theme and practice for each week, that fits into the larger headings of "Wake Up", "Show Up", "Clean Up", and "Grow Up". 

Finally, some weeks will focus specifically on the requirements for leading Relateful Focus (often referred to as Birthday circles) and tips for navigating Relateful Flow.

Integrating into Your Daily Life

Relateful Focus leadership bridges the insights from this training into structured situations in your life like meetings at the office.

Relateful Flow leadership bridges the insights of your practice to the rest of your life and relationships, in which the codes of conduct and norms are usually implicit, unspoken, and often unconscious. 

There's much more, but this gives you a basic taste.

Level up is an intensive course; 200 hours of training over 8 months requires an average of just under an hour a day. Here's what it looks like each week if you follow the typical path:

The first month is slightly more intensive as you'll receive a 1-1 Personal Focus session every single week, in addition to being coached, getting 1-1-1 leadership feedback, and attending a Certification session. This is designed to expose you to a lot of Relatefulness right away so your practice can be most beneficial from the start. 

You can organize your time in any way that suits your schedule. Some people like to batch their training, so that they do 3 hours twice a week, or all of it on one day. Others schedule a week or two of no practice after a few months, and draw the training out to 9 months.

We only ask that you complete your certification session within 9 months of your start date, and all other sessions expire after a year of your starting date. 

For those who don't care much about certification:

The majority of participants take this course to generally level up in their maturity, awareness, and life enjoyment, not to become someone who officially leads Relateful practices. They find that learning to a Focus Session up-levels almost all aspects of their leadership and thriving—including more access to difficult, painful, and darker emotions and the ability to listen to and harness these energies in more productive ways. Many report spontaneous improvements in areas that they weren't even focusing on.

For these goals, we find the structure of "Certification Sessions" is a very powerful developmental tool. Apart from any desire to be in good standing as a Relateful Facilitator; the Certification Sessions are potent for personal development, so we've woven them in more regularly into your journey.

For those who do care a lot about Certification:

Your own familiarity with yourself, the openness of your heart, your agility with the unknown and unexpected, and your mastery of the practice will be more valuable to you than our certification even in these domains.

Nevertheless, we find that standards are incredibly meaningful, especially across the industry and between organizations, so people know what they're getting. The Circling Federation is a nascent meta-organization that protects the brand of Circling™ by ensuring these standards.

It's also a new organization so some of the legalities are in process. It won't be difficult for anyone in Level Up ⬆️ who wants to be licensed to do so under the Integral Circling Tradition, and graduates may be required to do some additional coursework to become certified.

What if I don't Certify?

Most people that participate fully in the training—completing the full 200 hours—are prepared to meet the standard.

That said, there are some people who fully participate and who won't certify.

This is nothing to be ashamed of. The practice of "being with what is" rather than trying to coach, advise, or fix others often goes against decades of conditioning.

Furthermore the course sometimes surfaces very deep wounds that get in the way of a free-er relational flow.

If you don't certify and you want to, we'll make sure you have a map of what's needed and how to move forward.

You have the option to request a coach during registration. Those who don't have a preference will be automatically assigned—you can always change later if you'd like. This is truly tailored to you.

Since there are a variety of aspects of this program, some roles are assigned to you automatically, some are random, and some are open to request. For example:

• You'll be automatically assigned an advisor.
• 🤸 1-1 Personal Focus sessions and 💥 1-1-1 Leadership Feedback sessions are distributed based on availability—ideally you get the chance to experience at least five different leaders so you can get a taste for the different ways Relatefulness looks and feels.
• You can also book these individually with facilitators of your choosing.
