Event Details
Our thought-leader programs are designed to introduce people, concepts, and topics related to issues of power, but outside of our RUP curriculum. This program will be brought to us by Rabbi Charna Rosenholtz. As a practicing Rabbi, Charna has been delving into and thinking about prophecy for a number of years. She will share some insights and initiate conversation. Her opening question is what is the role of prophecy in conversations about the right use of power? She will talk about how Moses and Jesus used their prophecies to challenge the existing power structure in order to bring about alternative communities to overcome the oppressions of their day.

Dr. Cedar Barstow
Dr. Cedar Barstow
RUPI Founder & Executive Director
Founder and Director of Right Use of Power Institute. Cedar has been passionate about working with issues of power and ethics for 25 years. She believes that embodied learning—learning from the inside out—is both the most engaging and the most effective way of learning. She has been surprised at how many experiential processes can be adapted to virtual formatting. She loves teaching, developing programs, and helping to guide the growth and reach of RUPI. One of RUPI’s foci for the next few years is increasing diversity and contributing to social justice—which, of course, is a right use of power. She is also a Trainer with the Hakomi Mindful Somatic Therapy organization. She lives with her husband, Ren, in a co-op home in Boulder, CO.

Event Details
Our thought-leader inspiration for this program is Erin Meyer, author of the book, The Culture Map. (2014) She won’t be physically present, but we will be learning from her ideas. I find her concepts and poignant stories about learnings in navigating cultural differences to be fascinating and insightful. I think these will be immensely helpful as we at RUPI continue to welcome participants from Mexico, Finland, Spain, Canada, Australia, England, Ireland, Japan…and more.
Erin identifies (backed by research) eight scales, or I would call them cultural communication parameters that map and can create invisible divides when we don’t understand them. Our own cultural ways and habits are so ingrained in us as we grow up that they are unseen by us, like the saying: “the fish are the last to know water.” These eight parameters that we use at work are: Communicating, Evaluating, Persuading, Leading, Deciding, Trusting, Disagreeing, Scheduling.
Join us for an hour of reflecting on these scales and exploring questions like how does personality fit onto the culture map, and what can we do to make understanding and sensitivity to cultural differences workable and even enriching.

Event Details
Right Use of Power™ is at the very heart of ethics. We long for, and are capable of, magnificence in the use of our personal and professional power. And we have all been wounded by misuses of power. The Right Use of Power™ approach to ethics is dynamic and engaging and recognizes that the issues of power in helping relationships are complex. Linking power with heart, this program focuses on increasing skillfulness, engagement, and awareness. It is ethics from the inside out.
Our Core Training is a live, online learning experience for people of all helping professions. Empowering, relevant, and dynamic, our program is presented through engaging talks, facilitated discussions, and experiential practices.
In our Core Training, you will:
- Stay in your heart while standing in your strength.
- Learn about your power style and power parameters
- Practice simple processes for resolving conflict and repairing relationships.
- Learn to handle challenging interactions when there is a power difference.
- De-activate the power barriers that stand in your way.
- Develop essential skills for using power with ethical wisdom and skill.
After our trainings, participants have said they can now:
- Lean in to conflict with more skill.
- Be more ethically proactive around power dynamics.
- See the positive potential of down-power roles.
- Be more aware of the shadow aspects of power.
- Understand that power differentials serve a valuable purpose.

She is also an Advanced Teacher Trainer, consultant and advisor for the Right Use of Power Institute. Her Doctorate of Psychology focused on the dynamics of shame and power in the justice system and she continues to focus her research on the intrapersonal and interpersonal experiences of power dynamics, including the integration of neurobiology and restorative practices as they relate to power differentials.

Dr. Cedar Barstow
RUPI Founder & Executive Director
Founder and Director of Right Use of Power Institute. Cedar has been passionate about working with issues of power and ethics for 25 years. She believes that embodied learning—learning from the inside out—is both the most engaging and the most effective way of learning. She has been surprised at how many experiential processes can be adapted to virtual formatting. She loves teaching, developing programs, and helping to guide the growth and reach of RUPI. One of RUPI’s foci for the next few years is increasing diversity and contributing to social justice—which, of course, is a right use of power. She is also a Trainer with the Hakomi Mindful Somatic Therapy organization. She lives with her husband, Ren, in a co-op home in Boulder, CO.

Right Use of Power™ is at the very heart of ethics. We long for, and are capable of, magnificence in the use of our personal and professional power. And we have all been wounded by misuses of power. The Right Use of Power™ approach to ethics is dynamic and engaging and recognizes that the issues of power in helping relationships are complex. Linking power with heart, this program focuses on increasing skillfulness, engagement, and awareness. It is ethics from the inside out.
Our Core & Teacher Training is a live fully-immersive 9-month training, online learning experience for people of all helping professions. Empowering, relevant, and dynamic, our program is presented through engaging talks, facilitated discussions, and experiential practices. Participant relationships are enhanced through small group time in Connecting Rooms (Zoom breakout rooms).
The Teacher Training has four parts that combine to give you the skills, confidence, resources and collegial support to begin teaching your own right use of power programs and developing your power-wisdom.
Our teacher trainers learn how to TEACH right use of power™ to others and receive ongoing training, mentorship, and full access to all RUPI resources and materials. RUPI Teacher Trainees also receive membership to our RUPI Teachers Guild which offers ongoing teacher development, guild conferences and events, and a community of RUPI teachers worldwide.
Total Program Includes
- 35 total direct training hours (whole group training, small groups, & individual mentoring)
- Teacher’s Resource Manual and additional materials in electronic format (downloadable)
- 9 months of RUP Guild Membership with access to online resources and learning management system (during training)
- 9 months of RUPI guidance and support

Power is everywhere and yet seldom talked about or taught.
Right Use of Power is a large body of topics, concepts, experiential practices that have been integrated from many sources. In our programs, you will be learning to both use and teach conscious ethics and power with heart—core tenets in an alternative operating system for power that we call “Socially Conscious Power.” This approach is a large and evolving orientation and set of information and embodied practices that are applicable and adaptable for many groups and many issues.
The Right Use of Power Teacher Training is not a certification or licensing program. At the completion of the Teacher Training you can use concepts, handouts, written materials, and exercises you have been given to share information or to design and deliver programs about Right Use of Power. Our expectation is that you will feel confident, resourced, and well-supported in offering concrete modules and then more and more extensive programs as you grow in your confidence and understanding of and experience with the concepts and practices. If you find that you wish to teach the entire core curriculum, as delivered, you can follow a more extensive learning path that includes working with a Core Faculty member who can mentor and/or co-teach with you.
At the end of the training, you will also be given an opportunity to choose how you wish to stay connected with RUP and RUPInstitute. Through the free or Power Positive membership you may call yourself an Independent Teacher and have access to on-going learning opportunities and community connections. If you choose the Guild Teacher membership, you will, in addition, have access to our extensive resource library, membership in Focus Groups, and continuing and advanced programs. And you will be authorized to call yourself an Affiliated Teacher and use the Affiliated Teacher seal. Please see more information about membership levels at the website. Regardless of the level of membership you choose, we both trust and entrust you to freely use the materials and move at your own pace in sharing the concepts and processes. Our desire is that you will feel confident, resourced, and well-supported in moving at your own pace in whatever level of involvement you choose.
We invite you to ask for a conversation with Dr. Barstow or other Core Faculty, if you have questions or want more information than is provided here, please email us at training@rightuseofpower.org

- “This RUP material and the experientials fill in a gap about understanding power that I didn’t even know needed filling.”
- “I see now how power is somewhere in virtually everything and yet, so under-acknowledged.”
- “I can now be a cheerleader for the possibility and practicality of power being used wisely, consciously, and well.”
- “The teachers walk their talk.”
- “I’m much better at being decisive, yet warm, and clear and concise as a teacher.”
- “This training is incredibly important everywhere in my life, not just in teaching right use of power”

Dr. Cedar Barstow
RUPI Founder & Executive Director
Founder and Director of Right Use of Power Institute. Cedar has been passionate about working with issues of power and ethics for 25 years. She believes that embodied learning—learning from the inside out—is both the most engaging and the most effective way of learning. She has been surprised at how many experiential processes can be adapted to virtual formatting. She loves teaching, developing programs, and helping to guide the growth and reach of RUPI. One of RUPI’s foci for the next few years is increasing diversity and contributing to social justice—which, of course, is a right use of power. She is also a Trainer with the Hakomi Mindful Somatic Therapy organization. She lives with her husband, Ren, in a co-op home in Boulder, CO.
