How We are Different
Power As A Dynamic
Dominant culture frames power as a commodity - something that some people have and others don't. We understand power as a dynamic in relationships that needs active attendance and skill to navigate.
Embodied
We strive for a balance of theory and practical application throughout our training offerings. We focus on embodied presence and somatic exercises to help root us into the wisdom that is available to us through our bodies.
Connected & Experiential
Our primary course offerings are LIVE experiences with RUP trained facilitators, full of deep connection opportunities with people around the world. We also have a community of like-minded folks who are ready to support you in your journey.
The Art Of Strength & Heart
So many think that you have to choose between being strong or being compassionate; being boundaried or being connected. Right Use of Power lies in the art of balancing strength and heart.
