Date/Time:  Thursday, January 30, 2025 at 11am-1pm Pacific | 2pm-4pm Eastern & 6pm-8pm UTC
Location: Online Via Zoom
Host: Existential-Humanistic Institute (EHI)
Enrollment: $25 for General tickets. To promote effective discussion we are limiting registration to 30 people. We do not want cost to be an issue. We offer economic inequality/hardship tickets for $10. Please contact Michelle via our contact form at to get an invitation code for reduced fee.

EHI is excited to be continuing the new series of experiential salons into the new year. The intention for these salons is to honor EHI’s commitment to experiential learning as well as the time honored group process of discussion and integration.

On January 30th, EHI is hosting a two-hour virtual community space for encountering The Therapeutic Relationship. Personal, relational, and cosmological aspects are considered in group discussion, practical demonstration, dyad engagement, and will be flexible to follow emergent wishes from the group.

General Outline (2 hours): 
● Welcome Introduction and check-in (15 min) 
● Conceptual frames for The Psychotherapeutic Relationship (20 min)  
● Experiential exercise: Exploring The Psychotherapeutic Relationship (35 min) 
● Dyad: Deepening the experience (30min)

● Final Large Group Process: (20 min)

As we acknowledge that the word “salon” implies a more free flowing structure this is a flexible outline that will be modified by Sonja and Josh to work with what is happening in the moment.
