RELATE FAQs
What's the format?
Each session is a mixture of three components:
- High-challenge teaching
- Brief self-reflection exercises to help you connect each concept with your own experience
- Practical table discussions let by trained RELATE facilitators
Can I attend with a friend, my spouse, or my small group?
Yes! Invite each person to register online, then plan to arrive together 30 minute before the first session. Once everyone in your group arrives, a host will seat you together. (If someone in your group wants to become a RELATE facilitator and lead your table discussion, they can EMAIL DEB to learn more.)
Can I attend by myself?
Absolutely! Plenty of people choose to attend by themselves. A host will seat you at a table where you'll get to know one of our trained facilitators and a few new friends.
The RELATE Series
"When I feel disappointed or hurt by someone, I now know how I can respond in helpful ways."
"Gaining insight into how my past still affects my relationships gives me freedom to live differently going forward."
"I finally understand why certain things trigger me—and now I can do something about it!"
"My son and I finally had the conversation we've been needing to have for years."
