Event Details
A polyamorous perspective-even if you don’t have a polyam lifestyle– can offer an approach for moving beyond the binary and an antidote to both guru culture and cancel culture. With an interdependent lens, we are able to navigate relationships in a way that maintains connection and the wholeness of each person. Relationships in the context of community allows for a more emergent return to collective care and collective wisdom.
Join us for an exploration of what we can learn about power from polyamory.

Teacher Training & Mentorship Program
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
Teacher Training:
4-hour training days over 9 months to include pod meetings and a graduation
During this time, you shift from being a student to becoming a teacher and co-collaborator in the evolution of right use of power work. You study advanced topics, learning them through the lens of teaching, and you have a chance to talk with each other about what you are integrating and about topics of interest that arise.

Small Group Pods & Individual Mentoring
Small group pods meet in the 2nd half of the meeting time each month
The purpose of these smaller 5-7 person groups is to practice teaching the core exercises that you experienced during the Core Training. During these group times you will have a chance to practice giving and receiving feedback, to ask questions about concepts, to deepen your understandings, and to explore how to adapt the material to specific groups you are interested in.
Mentorship
(3 mentoring sessions) Starts in December and meet three times before graduation.
Here you will meet 3 times with a RUP trained teacher and Guild Member whom you will be assigned after the initial training dates. You will focus on personalizing what you want to do as a RUP teacher.
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.

Please note: Core Training is also required in order to take the Teacher Training.
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.
Teacher Training & Mentorship Program
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
Teacher Training:
4-hour training days over 9 months to include pod meetings and a graduation
During this time, you shift from being a student to becoming a teacher and co-collaborator in the evolution of right use of power work. You study advanced topics, learning them through the lens of teaching, and you have a chance to talk with each other about what you are integrating and about topics of interest that arise.

Small Group Pods & Individual Mentoring
Small group pods meet in the 2nd half of the meeting time each month
The purpose of these smaller 5-7 person groups is to practice teaching the core exercises that you experienced during the Core Training. During these group times you will have a chance to practice giving and receiving feedback, to ask questions about concepts, to deepen your understandings, and to explore how to adapt the material to specific groups you are interested in.
Mentorship
(3 mentoring sessions) Starts in December and meet three times before graduation.
Here you will meet 3 times with a RUP trained teacher and Guild Member whom you will be assigned after the initial training dates. You will focus on personalizing what you want to do as a RUP teacher.
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.
