Is this workshop right for me?
This workshop is designed for curious newcomers, as well as those with some knowledge and experience of Radical Honesty, and for anyone interested in learning to communicate authentically and improve their life and relationships. Knowledge of the book Radical Honesty by Brad Blanton is not mandatory, and, you may find it helpful!
Important Note: Radical Honesty workshops are a facilitated practice space for participants to experiment with authentic relating, and are not ‘group therapy'. Whilst the trainers seek to create a context and container for intense emotions and reactions, these can feel overwhelming for some participants to witness.
If you have a diagnosed mental health condition (such as bi-polar, a personality disorder or suffer from C/PTSD), please contact us to discuss whether this workshop is suitable for you.
In this workshop, we will learn and put into practice the foundational Radical Honesty distinctions, including Noticing vs. Imagining, the Awareness Continuum, and expressing Resentments & Appreciations. We work with whatever arises in the moment, whatever you bring to the group.
If you’re struggling in a relationship, trapped in your mind, needing encouragement or support, wanting real-world practice with real-world examples, or seeking to build community with other honest folk like yourself, this is workshop is for you!

ABOUT THE TRAINER:
Michael Alan Kolb
Michael Alan Kolb (aka Mak) has a B.A. in Psychology, is a Senior Radical Honesty Trainer and is the Director of the Radical Honesty Institute. He is committed to helping people develop the skills needed to live life out loud, to mend and build (and sometimes end) meaningful relationships, and to ground themselves in experiential reality. He is particularly interested in the problems of existentialism, couples work and non-traditional relationships, and dealing creatively with anger and conflict. He lives and works in Costa Rica where he is co-founder of Cascada Elysiana Eco-Lodge & Retreat Center.
“It is difficult to transition into adulthood in a world full of adolescents. This practice of Radical Honesty has been the most important work I've done in my personal journey of growing up and I'm hungry to surround myself with others who want to embark on this journey with me. There's a whole lot of road left for us to travel.” -Mak
