ONLINE: Navigating the Relationship Plateau

This will be a live, online class offered through Zoom. No on-site tickets will be available.

It is inevitable that the road of our life's travel, the paths of our endeavors and even our relationships will eventually arrive at a plateau. During this time, a staleness or lack of progress may be felt. Master/slave relationships are not immune to the plateau. In this class, we will discuss the concept of life's plateaus, how they relate to our relationships, and ways to manage the time without peaks or valleys. It is said in the martial arts that true growth and training occur while on the plateau. Please join us and discover how your authority exchange relationship may find peace and growth during the time that you navigate the relationship plateau.
