Join Us this Spring for Exploring Relationship
Do you want more from your relationships?
When differences come up, would you like to be able to stay present?
To both take care of you and hear the other side?
Do you want to receive others’ identities (and bring more of your own) in connecting and meaningful ways?
Exploring Relationship provides an experiential laboratory where relational learning is a shared interpersonal process.

*All groups currently run online.
This may be for you if you:
Are ready to better understand yourself in relationships.
Want to express more or take up less of the space in your connections and are interested in what gets in your way.
Desire reflection from other people to see yourself more clearly.
Want to sort what’s happening in reality between you and others from the history and cultural assumptions you carry with you.
Understand anger has a purpose and want to learn to express it so it’s received or tolerate receiving it.
Want help to embody and use your emotions as a guidance system.
Here's some of what clients are saying about their Exploring Relationship Experience:
Group has empowered me to begin to ask for what I want, to say what I feel even when it's hard, to stay connected with myself when my brain wants me to blank out or freeze. Every time I do one of these things in group, it shows me a path for also doing it outside of group.
I don't always agree with everything Pearl does or says, but I… know with my entire body that not agreeing is OK. Pearl has created a safe container for expressing emotions that are hard to say out loud (anger, irritation, etc.). I believe this is less simple than it sounds, and more profoundly healing.
I’m figuring out more of where I end and others begin... not trying to be the “fixer,” of other people’s stuff... showing up more, with less concern about how it might be taking away from others’ experience.
This group space is a place to practice being brave and courageous in ways that aren't maybe safe in other relational spaces. With great care, Pearl makes sure that no one is left out or left behind!
It's a totally different experience than sitting one-on-one with a therapist, and so I didn't wind up bringing "my issues" in that same way that I had been used to. I brought my whole self, and that led to growth in ways that I hadn't even consciously recognized I wanted.
Exploring Relationship will run 10 Tuesdays starting once membership has formed. Join us.
Some willingness to tolerate big emotions is required.
Although my groups are not designed specifically, to explore the impacts of racism and oppression
(related to sexuality, gender, age, ability, size, etc) I hold an anti-oppression lens.
Set up a consultation here.
Please do not let financial constraints deter you from reaching out. As best I can, I work to
make my groups accessible to anyone for whom this process is a fit.
