The Weekend Workshop is the gateway to learning the benefits of Radical Honesty and experimenting with truth-telling in a supportive environment.

Discover a new way of relating

Are you hungry for an authentic connection with brave people who want to cut the bullshit and get real? Take a dive into self-exploration and honest self-expression with a group of curious truth-tellers.

If you’re struggling in a relationship, feeling trapped in your mind, hiding parts of yourself, wanting real-world practice with asking for what you want, or seeking to build community with other honest folks, this is workshop is for you!

Learn the art of intimacy and connection

During a Weekend Workshop in Radical Honesty, we tell the truth out loud about what we notice about each other, what we notice in our own bodies, and what we notice going through our minds.

Through this direct sharing, we quickly see how we are often our own worst enemy by holding ourselves back, blocking intimacy, and using our minds to make ourselves stressed, disconnected, anxious, and sad.

This workshop is for you if:

• You stop yourself from being honest with others due to fear of hurting them or thinking they can’t handle it.

• You’re tired of working so hard to uphold your image and pretenses.

• You feel lonely, anxious, depressed, or stressed when trying to relate to the people in your life.

• You get mad at your spouse or partner, relatives, friends, and colleagues and you’re not sure how to get over it.

• You usually withhold the ideas, judgments and impulses you have.

• You’re afraid to tell the truth to your partner and those closest to you.

• You crave deeper, intimate, vulnerable and more authentic relationships.

Weekend Workshops start on Friday evening and end on Sunday afternoon. We have a two hour introduction to Radical Honesty on Friday night, followed by full days of work on both Saturday and Sunday. These workshops are non-residential, so overnight lodging is not provided. We’ll have lunch breaks on Saturday and Sunday, with drinks and snacks usually available.

We ask weekend workshop participants to commit to attending all three daily sessions, and to show up on time to each session. If you'd like to attend a weekend workshop and cannot be there for all scheduled times, contact the workshop leader in advance to discuss your options.

*Even though some Radical Honesty trainers may be licensed therapists or clinical psychologists, Radical Honesty workshops are not psychotherapy, but are a training in personal growth and development. 

“The best parts of the weekend were the moments of real connection with some of the other people there, especially when there was an initial judgment and then later I grew to love them, something I never believed would actually happen. The most challenging part was acknowledging attraction, which normally I would consider way too risky to share out loud.⠀

I’ve done a few other weekend workshops with other groups and I feel I got the most by far out of this one. If you’re someone who thinks of themselves as being too scared to attend - I certainly felt that way - you may get a lot out of it. Or you may not. But I’m so glad I stuck with it and didn’t bail!" -Robert⠀

"The first time I read Radical Honesty I realized that the saddest and most painful moments in my life were when I had to be silent, when I had to pretend to be happy, or when lying was safer than speaking out.

It was my third husband who introduced me to the work of Radical Honesty and the rigor of practicing expressing my thoughts, my feelings, and my wants including taking a stand for myself and others.

The Weekend Workshop has helped me practice these skills and cultivate a radically honest relationship which has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life.” - Ely

“I imagine my life will be different in that I will take more risk to ask for things that I want. I realize that other people are just as scared to ask for things that they want as me.

So why not take a chance and just ask for it? What’s the worst that they can say? A “No”?

I’m learning how to accept a “No” without that meaning that they don’t like me or that I’m somehow deficient.

So yeah, asking for what I want is what I intend to do more of.”

-Ran
