Group sauna meditation session at Revivery

You learned the method.

Now learn who you are inside it.

Next Cohort Starts August 12, 2026

The Program

Six weeks that change how you lead

REV-1 gave you the foundation. You know how to hold a session. You know the moves.

REV-2 asks a different question:

Who is the person holding that container?

What is your nervous system offering the room — and what is it withholding?

How do you lead from genuine aliveness rather than competent management?

How do you stay present when the room gets hard or awkward or intimate in a way you didn't foresee?

These are not technique questions. They are questions about you.

Lead in deep presence during a Revivery session

Two Threads, One Understanding

The architecture of REV-2

Thread 1: The Science Beneath the Room

Why does a regulated nervous system change the room? Why do movement, rhythm, and play heal in ways that talk alone cannot? Why does genuine human presence matter more than technique? Thread 1 gives you the neuroscience — and the personal map to navigate it.

Thread 2: The Lead as Relational Being

What does it mean to lead from your full self rather than from a role? What is the quality of aliveness that the best sessions have — and how is it created? Thread 2 explores the relational, contemplative, and depth psychological dimensions of genuine presence.

How It Works

Three layers of learning

Weekly Gathering

2.5 hours live with your cohort. Not lectures — structured spaces for the learning to land in relationship. Opening practice, synthesis, breakouts, case consultation, skill lab, and closing.

Between-Session Practice

Micro-practice experiments in your real sessions. Triad check-ins with peer accountability partners. Lead Practice Log entries. The real learning happens between Gatherings.

Your Content Track

Designed around your real life. Most content is video or audio — watchable while commuting, walking, or cooking. About 400 pages of required reading across the full course.

The Journey

Week by week

Each week moves the arc forward. By Week 6, the two threads — the science of the body and the depth of the relational self — have woven into a single understanding.

Week 01

Relational Intelligence

Who am I in relationship — and how does that shape every room I enter?

Terry Real

Week 02

Contemplative Ground

What is the quality of attention beneath my technique? Can I be genuinely present before I begin?

Thich Nhat Hanh

Week 03

Depth and the Body’s Truth

What does the body carry that the mind cannot yet speak? What am I projecting onto the room?

Marion Woodman, Carl Jung, Gabor Maté

Week 04

The Body Keeps the Score

What is my nervous system actually offering the room — and how do I tend it as a professional responsibility?

Bessel van der Kolk, Deb Dana

Week 05

Aliveness and the Relational Field

Where is the eros in this room — the genuine, alive encounter that makes a session unforgettable?

Esther Perel

Week 06

Integration

What has changed? What do I know now that I cannot unknow? What kind of lead am I becoming?

All eight, integrated

The Thinkers

Eight voices that changed the conversation

Their work is delivered through documentary film, audio programs, podcast sessions, and carefully crafted reading guides.

Gabor Maté

The Myth of Normal

What does a culture that prizes performance over authenticity do to the body? Maté’s compassionate inquiry framework changes how you hold participants whose patterns most challenge you.

Bessel van der Kolk

The Body Keeps the Score

The neuroscience of why the body heals through movement, rhythm, and safe relational contact — and why what we do at Revivery is, at its core, a therapeutic practice.

Deb Dana

Anchored

The practical map of your own nervous system: three navigable states, a vocabulary for reading the room, and the daily practice of regulation and return.

Terry Real

Us

Relational intelligence as a learnable skill. The Adaptive Child versus the Functional Adult. Why your relational history is always in the room with you.

Thich Nhat Hanh

True Love

The contemplative ground beneath all technique. Four qualities of love that, when embodied, transform the experience of being in a room you are holding.

Marion Woodman

Bone · The Pregnant Virgin

Depth psychology and the body as the site of transformation. Shadow, projection, and the sacred space the lead holds for genuine change.

Carl Jung

The Undiscovered Self

The unconscious in the room. What we carry that we have not yet claimed — and how it shapes every relational field we enter.

Esther Perel

Mating in Captivity

Eros as a life force. The quality of aliveness, mystery, and genuine encounter that distinguishes a session that hums from one that merely runs.

What You'll Leave With

Tangible and transformative

Tangible Outcomes

A Personal Lead Philosophy— a living document that names who you are as a lead, what you understand about the room's nervous system, and what quality of aliveness you are committed to cultivating.

A complete Lead Practice Log— eight weeks of your own evolving practice, witnessed and reflected back to you by your facilitator.

A completed peer observation cycle using the Sacred Improv Lead Observation Form.

A polyvagal nervous system mapfor reading your own states and the room's.

A curated library of embodied practices drawn from eight thinkers, ready for your sessions.

The Less Tangible — and More Important

The capacity to read the room at its deepest level: not just what is happening, but what the room's nervous systems are carrying and what they need.

The confidence that comes from understanding whythe work works — and being able to hold that conviction in the moments when a session doesn't go as planned.

A triad of peers who know your practice from the inside and can continue to hold you accountable after graduation.

A fundamentally different relationship to your own aliveness as a lead — the quality of genuine encounter that makes a room feel alive rather than managed.

Is REV-2 Right for You?

This course is for you if...

You’ve been leading with the Revivery method and felt something real happen in the room that you couldn’t fully explain.

You lead sessions and want to understand why your presence on a given day shapes the room more than your plan.

You’re curious about the neuroscience behind why movement, play, and genuine human connection heal in ways that words alone cannot reach.

You’ve sensed something alive and almost tangible in a room of people who are fully present together — and want to understand how to create and tend that more deliberately.

You’re willing to be changed by what you learn — not just informed by it.

You may want to wait if...

You're looking for new activities or session plans — REV-2 goes beneath technique.

You're in a period of significant personal upheaval — the depth psychology in Weeks 3 and 6 asks for a degree of stability from which to explore.

You can't commit to the full six weeks — this course builds on itself, and arrival and continuity matter.

The Investment

Standard: $1,900

$1,615

Early Bird — Save $285

Your tuition covers the full six-week experience: weekly live Gatherings with a trained facilitator, your triad placement and peer observation cycle, personalized facilitator feedback on your Lead Practice Log, and access to the REV-2 learning community. It also includes all reading guides, frameworks, and mapping tools.

Most of the source content — documentary films, podcast episodes, TED talks, and audio programs — is freely available or very low cost. The required materials you'll purchase separately total approximately $50–65.

What the tuition holds is what you cannot get on your own: the container. A facilitator who reads your full arc across eight weeks and writes back to you. A triad of peers who know your practice from the inside. A weekly Gathering where the learning lands in relationship. And a structured process that asks you to become something, not just learn something.

Cohort starts August 12, 2026
