From Insight to a Way of Life
There are moments when something becomes clear. You recognize an old pattern, experience a new way of relating, or connect with a part of yourself that has been difficult to access. Perhaps one of our workshops opened something in you.
But insight is only the beginning.
The deeper practice is bringing what you’ve learned into your everyday life, especially when you’re triggered, under pressure, navigating conflict, or facing the unknown.
COR LIFE gives you ten months to practice doing just that.
Why ten months? Because lasting integration takes practice. You need time to bring what you’re learning home, meet real-life challenges, return to the work, receive support, and practice again.
With ongoing teachings, embodied practices, community, and accountability, you’ll have the opportunity to return to your Healthy Self again and again, integrating new ways of relating, communicating, and responding.
Over time, what you practice becomes how you live: more present, connected, and alive.
THE WHAT
COR LIFE is a 10-month training that combines three immersive in-person modules with ten monthly two-hour teaching calls.
Between the in-person modules, you’ll bring what you’re learning into your daily life through practical assignments, reflection, and regular connection with an accountability buddy and a small group. This ongoing rhythm gives you the opportunity to practice new ways of relating, communicating, and responding to the challenges of real life.
2027/2028 In-Person Module Dates:
Module 1: May 11–16, 2027 | Gore, VA
Module 2: August 23–28, 2027 | Gore, VA
Module 3: January 6–9, 2028 | Southern US East Coast
The in-person modules are where the deep work happens, and the time between modules is where you live it.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN & PRACTICE
COR LIFE brings together the core teachings and practices of COR with practical skills for navigating relationships, work, leadership, and everyday life. Over ten months, you’ll have repeated opportunities to learn, practice, receive feedback, and integrate what you’re discovering.
Living from the Healthy Self
Deepen your understanding of the Wounded, Survivor, and Healthy Selves, and learn to recognize which part of you is leading so you can respond with greater awareness and choice.
Embodied Awareness
Learn to listen to your body through somatic tracking, breath, movement, and other practices that help you stay grounded and connected to what is true.
Communication and Conflict
Practice Active Listening, Nonviolent Communication, wise speech, healthy boundaries, healthy apology and healthy venting, and skillful conflict resolution so you can express yourself honestly while staying compassionately connected to others.
Emotional Responsibility
Develop greater capacity to be with difficult emotions, recognize your patterns and triggers, and take responsibility for how you respond without shaming or abandoning yourself, or blaming or shaming another.
Presence and Spiritual Practice
Explore mindfulness, meditation, prayer, and practices that deepen your relationship with presence, trust, and Grace in ways that can support you in daily life.
Purpose and Leadership
Clarify what matters most to you, strengthen your sense of purpose, and practice bringing your values and gifts into your relationships, work, and community.
Facilitation and Relational Skills
Build foundational skills for working with individuals and groups, including holding space, facilitating sharing circles, and supporting embodied awareness.
HOW WE PRACTICE
COR LIFE draws from a range of COR teachings, relational tools, embodied practices, and spiritual traditions. These are some of the methods you’ll experience and practice throughout the ten months.
The goal is not simply to know these tools.
It is to practice them often enough so they begin to shape
how you live, relate, and lead.
BRINGING IT INTO THE WORLD
COR LIFE culminates with a final project that invites you to put what you’ve learned into practice in a way that is meaningful to you. You get to live your leadership.
Past projects have taken many forms, including workshops, retreats, sharing circles, workplace trainings, couples and family experiences, creative and spiritual offerings, podcasts, community initiatives, and programs focused on communication, relationships, purpose, embodiment, and personal growth.
Your project doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s. It’s an opportunity to apply the tools you’ve been practicing in COR LIFE and to share your gifts, values, and Healthy Self with the world.
The final project serves as the practicum required to receive your COR LIFE completion certificate.

Is COR LIFE for You?
Living from your Healthy Self doesn’t mean you never get triggered, overwhelmed, or fall into old patterns. It means developing the awareness and skills to recognize what is happening, meet yourself with compassion and truth, and choose how you want to respond.
People come to COR LIFE from many different walks of life. Our cohorts have included parents, teachers, coaches and therapists, healthcare professionals and bodyworkers, business owners and corporate professionals, artists, community leaders, and people simply wanting to live and relate with greater awareness and intention.
COR LIFE gives you ten months to practice this in the places that matter most, from your relationships and family life to your work, purpose, spiritual life, and leadership.
COR LIFE may be for you if…
◇ You understand many of your patterns, but still find yourself repeating them when life gets challenging.
◇ You struggle to hold your boundaries and want to become clearer and more confident in your healthy yes and healthy no.
◇ You want to communicate more honestly and skillfully, whether with a partner, family member, colleague, or team.
◇ You want to strengthen your ability to navigate conflict while staying connected to yourself and others.
◇ You have a strong inner critic and want to feel more comfortable in your own skin.
◇ You know you’re called to be a leader in some way, and you want to answer the call.
◇ You know there is still healing and integration needed to more fully “walk your talk.”
◇ You want to feel a deeper sense of belonging and to build relationships where you can be fully seen and known.
◇ You want to develop or deepen your ability to facilitate individuals and groups with presence and compassion.
◇ You’re a coach, therapist, or helping professional who wants to deepen your understanding of what drives human patterns, reactions, and ways of relating- in yourself and your clients- while expanding your relational and somatic skills.
What’s possible
COR LIFE is about becoming more available for your own life. The training brings together embodied practices, psychology, spirituality, relational skills, and ongoing accountability to help what you’re learning take root in your everyday life.
Over the ten months, you’ll have the opportunity to develop greater awareness of yourself, practice new ways of responding, and strengthen your capacity to live and lead from your Healthy Self.
You may experience:
◇ A more loving and holistic relationship with yourself, where you feel more at home in who you are, your emotions, and all your parts, including the ones you find difficult to accept.
◇ Deeper connection in your relationships with partners, family, friends, colleagues, and community.
◇ Greater ability to stay grounded and present when life gets challenging.
◇ More honest, compassionate communication and greater confidence navigating conflict.
◇ Healthier boundaries and a clearer sense of your own needs, values, and choices.
◇ A greater sense of belonging and the ability to stay connected to others, even in moments of conflict or when you’re triggered.
◇ Greater ease and confidence in your body and how you show up with others.
◇ A deeper sense of purpose and clarity about the gifts you want to bring into the world.
◇ Greater confidence leading and facilitating individuals and groups.
◇ Practical tools for creating structure, following through, and bringing what matters to you into action.
◇ A more embodied spiritual life and deeper relationship with Grace.
The leadership you practice in COR LIFE is not limited to a title or role. It lives in how you communicate with your partner, parent your children, navigate a difficult conversation at work, contribute to your community, or bring an idea you care about into the world.
Ultimately, it is about becoming more able to live what you value.
You Won’t DO THIS ALONE
COR LIFE is built around a committed cohort who learn, practice, and grow alongside one another throughout the ten months.
Through in-person modules, teaching calls, buddy work, small group circles, and shared practice, you’ll have opportunities to be seen and supported, practice new ways of relating, and offer that same presence to others.
The relationships formed through COR LIFE often grow into meaningful friendships and a community that continues long after the training ends.
Healing is relational. And so is learning how to live differently.
◇ COHORT SUPPORT
Most cohorts often form deep and meaningful connections that continue long after COR LIFE ends. Receive the support of a close community of men and women who are your equals.
◇ GROUNDWORK PROGRAM
Receive free monthly teachings as soon as you register.
Supported Every Step of the Way
COR LIFE is designed to support lasting integration, not just powerful moments of insight. Throughout the ten months, you’ll have a consistent rhythm of teaching, mentoring, practice, accountability, and community to help you bring what you’re learning into your everyday life.
◇ MULTI-DAY MODULES
Over the course of ten months, your entire cohort will come together in-person for multi-day intensives. This is where the deep work happens. You’ll dive into yourself, build real belonging, and have reparative experiences in community. You’ll come to understand yourself more fully, get an embodied knowing of your Healthy Self, and learn and practice leadership and facilitation tools you’ll carry with you.
◇ MONTHLY GROUP TEACHINGS
Gather online each month for continued teaching, practice, and reflection, with space to deepen what you’re learning and explore how it’s showing up in your everyday life.
◇ MONTHLY ONE-ON-ONE MENTORING
Individualized support and check-ins from a COR LIFE Mentor.
◇ ACCOUNTABILITY BUDDIES
You will receive a designated buddy for accountability and support, as well as a buddy group.
◇ MONTHLY EVALUATION REPORTS
Check-ins and feedback with the facilitators on a monthly basis, reflecting on your progress, challenges, and accomplishments.
