Life skill courses

We (you and I) matter

Relationships are powerful, and every one of them begins with the relationship you have with yourself. This course makes the case for your vital role, both as a vulnerable part of “us” and as a worthy influence on the rest of us. As you rediscover who you truly are, respect for others and the world tends to follow. We were made to belong: to a family, a group, a society, an environment.

You matter

Coming to understand who you are as a person, and why that’s the ground everything else is built on.

  • Self-definition: what defines me, genetics, environment, parenting, personality, experience.
  • Where you are now vs. where you want to be, and the motivations to change.
  • Identifying and gently confronting the limitations in between, and the role of fear.
We matter

Refining relational and social intelligence through self-definition and self-regulation.

  • The science of relationships: how we sustain them, and why we need them.
  • Communication and boundaries: styles, filters, perception, and the language of respect.
  • Moving from (in)dependent to interdependent, and our impact on others and the world.

Duration: 5 days, 6 hours a day · Developed & led by Dr Gerdi van den Berg · Upcoming dates available soon.
