Living More Unified

08/06/2025 – 08/08/2025

In-Person in San Francisco

Adam Klein & Neena Sims

Open your receptivity

Connect more profoundly to yourself and others

Relationships are what we are. They shape us, inform us, and offer us the possibility to more fully encounter and embrace love. They are also often a place of stickiness and pain. Join us for a transformative experience in how you relate with yourself and others.

A container of play, practice & integration

This in-person will include learning through a variety of modalities:

Story/Myth
Small and large group conversation
Music & poetry
Interactive practice
Integrating real-life situations

All of this supports freshness in how you experience yourself and the way in which you relate with others. Woven through it all we’ll be evoking a spirit of collective: curiosity, playfulness, truthfulness, kindness, pragmatism and wonder.

A way of (be)holding

Attending to the relational and integrating streams beckons fundamental aspects of who we take ourselves to be.

The context of the workshop is understanding we live from/within different states of being and from which our actions, behaviors and responses to the world and people around us arise.

This can be a generative dynamic, actions <-> state of being, and one in which we can consciously participate in and surrender to.
The 10 Ways of Being and Six Streams of Competence provide hand holds from which we can play, dance, act, understand and experience the interrelationship being <-> doing.
We will evoke these spheres of understanding in support of exploring and expanding our sense of self, other, and the alive relationship which supports our natural development.

This energetic field and flow is the backdrop informing all the various methods we’ll engage in over the course of the workshop.

The overly simple way of charting the territory for each of these stream through the various ways is outlined below.

Relational Stream through the Ten Ways of Being

Scattered: Others are people -> I can give to others -> I can receive from others
Dense: Reality checks -> Letting them do it -> Confiding in others
Fluid: Attuning to others -> Being affected by others -> Inspiring others
Focused: Alliances -> Strong network of support -> Vulnerability
Service: My community -> Serve/be served alternatively -> Ease and comfort of others

Integrating Stream through the The Ways of Being

Scattered: Self-care shapes me -> Emotions shape me -> Others shape me
Dense: Cumulative effects -> Building a future -> Shadow
Fluid: Shadow -> Balance of Conversations -> Public identity
Focused: Stop leaking -> Build center -> Eliminate self-defeating behaviors
Service: Simplicity -> Non-attachment -> Deep honesty

Who is this for

You and your relationships are welcome.

The nature of the universe is relationship (see Guirdjeff’s law of three). We invite you to participate in experiencing, with greater awareness, the truth of this, and the way in which relationship generates our integration.

Join a community of hearts, mind, bodies and souls as we step into this territory full of vitality.

What You’ll Gain

Expand your capacity and competence

Our days together will be an opportunity to explore:

The developmental path that our relationships can be when we turn towards them as sacred spaces of becoming.
Relationship as calling: What is life up to with us in the relational stream – what is being made or realized in the field between us?
How our relationships – with all their delights and difficulties – can be a forge for mutual development.
The nature of our ongoing preoccupations, attachments and demands – which make themselves know through our relational challenges.
How can we name and release our unhealthy patterns of power and control and cultivate mutually life-giving ground?
What are those qualities we long to cultivate?
What are those qualities that life is longing to cultivate in us?

Your journey starts here.
