From Reactive to Grounded:
Your 10-Week Transformation
Learn the relational skills that turn difficult conversations into opportunities for connection
You Know How You Want to Show Up, But…
In charged moments, you lose access to that grounded, compassionate version of yourself.
Maybe this sounds familiar:
High-charge situations overwhelm you
…especially with kids, partners, or colleagues where you either shut down or escalate
You're stuck in your head
Overthinking interactions instead of feeling present and connected to your body
Old patterns keep repeating
The same conflicts happen again and again, nothing actually resolves
You feel alone in this work
Carrying the weight of trying to figure out healthy relating without real support or practice space
Time feels impossible
Between work and family responsibilities, you can’t find consistent ways to actually practice what you’ve learned
You’ve tried therapy, read books, maybe done meditation or other communication workshops. But something’s still missing. You need more than theory — you need embodied practice with feedback in a community that shares your values.
Hi, I’m Danny and I’ve walked this path too
Fifteen years ago, I was stuck in the same cycle. I knew how I wanted to show up but couldn’t access that grounded, compassionate version of myself when it mattered most.
Through intensive training in Nonviolent Communication, psychotherapy, and over a year of silent meditation retreats, I discovered what actually creates lasting change: embodied practice in community.
Since then, I’ve guided thousands of people—parents, professionals, activists, and seekers—through this same transformation. I’ve seen people go from walking on eggshells to having the conversations that matter most. From carrying everything alone to feeling genuinely supported and understood.
Now I want to guide you through the same journey.
The Art of Communication 10-Week Journey
1 Foundations of Relational Dynamics
Build the foundation you can learn to rest in. Master Polyvagal Theory to understand how your nervous system affects communication, learn to navigate toward the “green zone” where people are naturally cooperative, and discover the key skill that transforms dialogue from competition into collaboration.
2 Consciousness of Domination or Collaboration
Replace the “jackal consciousness” (right/wrong, power-over thinking) with needs-based relating. Like Neo seeing the Matrix code, you’ll learn to see the life-needs that animate every interaction, opening pathways to coherence and mutually satisfying outcomes.
3 Emotional Intelligence 101
Discover why we have feelings and what to do with those “difficult” emotions that complicate relationships. Learn to access the embodied intelligence that feelings express and welcome them as gateways to connection and more congruent life choices.
4 Listening Magic
Master the “superpower” of attuned empathy. Learn the foundational dance steps that turn relating into an art — many find this to be the master key that unlocks relationships. Move beyond techniques to create genuine connection that doesn’t depend on agreement.
5 Beyond Right and Wrong - Creating Shared Reality
Stop having endless arguments about who’s right. Learn to create shared reality and talk through problems without triggering defensiveness. Discover the potent alternative to praise and compliments that fuels intrinsic motivation and richer connection.
6 "I Have a Dream" - How to Help People Enjoy Caring for Your Needs
Transform how you make requests. Instead of people feeling burdened or giving in from obligation, learn the art of requests that invite true giving, create more choice and agency, and generate aliveness in relationships.
7 Presence & Internal Alignment
Access your magnetic power through presence. Learn to connect coherently with yourself, move beyond people-pleasing and “shoulds,” and access more inner freedom, choice, and self-compassion.
8 Effective Honesty - Don't Be Nice, Be Real
Speak truth with care. Learn to be skillfully real without “rocking the boat” or reinforcing that honesty comes at a cost. Leverage the power of human resonance to be both authentic AND relational.
9 Full Dialogue - Integration
Put all the dance steps together. Navigate the back-and-forth of real conversations with skill, even in charged contexts. Master the art of collaborative dialogue in your most important relationships.

Danny’s course was consistently a highlight of my week. My partner and I were on the brink of separating due to communication struggles. This course gave us powerful practices for our most difficult conversations. Working with Danny was truly transformational.
Sydney Bolger
“Able to be whole in connection”
“There’s this precise, caring way of connecting where parts of myself get invited into connection rather than left out. I can be whole in connection and find my way to presence, where even tender parts are welcome.”
