Invitation: Closed Groups

join the more intimate

‘Stemless’ is a relational presence practice where we connect via direct transmission of our rich inner experience without explanation. We aim to glimpse and own not just our arising feelings but our overall perceptions.

As a group or in pairs, we share what’s happening between us in the here and now, free of violence (meaning: deeply owned). To start off, we practice using overt sentence stems, being careful to use language that doesn’t crowd anyone else’s experience (eg. “This is just my story, but I think you might be angry?”).

Then comes ‘stemless’, where we open toward the more mysterious space where all projections can be recognized as inherently toothless. Without overt management, even an expression like “You’re the devil!” can be, paradoxically, conflict-free. It becomes just another beautiful opportunity to meet in connection.

Past participants have said the practice is psychedelic, pointless, deeply connecting and alive, endlessly frustrating, what do I do with all this freedom!? and “the most important relating practice that I know of, in the world.”

Register your interest in joining an online, multi-week, closed group (6-8 participants).

We’ll send specific invitations after receiving interest.

Please take 90 seconds to register your interest as soon as possible, and definitely by February 5 to potentially join the next round. (EDITED TO ADD: Please email rsvp.stemless@gmail.com if you register your interest after Feb 5.)
