Is this like therapy? Or maybe “encounter group”?
Not exactly, but it can be very therapeutic! Relational Inquiry is a deep process of inquiry into the joys and sorrows and fundamental challenges of our humanity, as these challenges show up directly in a group of people committed to bringing more love and harmonious connections into their lives. However, there is a structure to it and set of guidelines, the most important ones being what we call “commitment to connection” and “own your experience”. The structure does, ideally, make the group safer, more fun and potentially more transformational than either therapy or encounter group.
Introducing Transformation at the Speed of Light (TSL) and its extension, TSL2
We believe that love and sex are very powerful forces for human transformation. Thus, for the first time, at the next round of PRLC courses we might introduce a powerful lifestyle practice called Transformation at the Speed of Light (TSL), and its extension called TSL Squared (or TSL2). TSL is good for amplifying the quality of love in your relationships. TSL2, which is an extension of TSL, is effective for creating deep love and deep sex between men and women and/or attracting an opposite-polarity partner.

Sophie Nicole Lemperle-McGrath (co-leader) is the founder of Connecting circle (in German), a Gestalt facilitator, mediator and “Getting Real” Coach.
All of her life Sophie has been fascinated by interpersonal dynamics and the question of what constitutes a strong foundation in all kinds of relationships – private or professional. Can we learn to love? How do we use conflicts as learning opportunities and convert the conflict energy into more connection? Her work is deeply influenced by the teaching and love of Martin and Annette Rubeau. She has also learned from and with Susan Campbell PhD, and through her work: “Getting Real”.
