Our Partnerships
ART International
ART International offers transformational AR (Authentic Relating) courses that empower participants to be more alive, awake and aware in all their relationships – with self, others, and the world.
ART International is Realness Project’s sister organization. The core curriculum for RP’s flagship ART of Being Human workshop is based on ART International’s Level 1 course that is taught to the general public throughout the world. ART designates 5% of its course proceeds to RP programs behind bars and provides a free spot in their Level 1 course to any justice-involved graduate of our course (50% off to family members).
Second Chance Center
Second Chance Center helps formerly incarcerated people transition to lives of success and fulfillment by providing the formerly incarcerated, and their network, with education, resources, and support to successfully re-enter the community and cultivate a rewarding life.
SeekHealing
SeekHealing provides social health programs to rebuild disconnected communities – healing loneliness, systemic shame, trauma, and addiction.
Behind the opioid overdose epidemic is a much greater loneliness epidemic: an increasing lack of meaningful connection in society, and the trauma that goes hand-in-hand with isolation.
In a new approach to the epidemic, SeekHealing addresses the social drivers of addiction. They help each other experience real human connection and they provide free access to holistic healing services.
Authentic Relating - GO
AR-GO facilitates online drop-in events and workshops on Authentic Relating (AR) and other related practices that empower people to show up more fully in their lives and relationships: through authentic connection, relational skills development, and embodied awareness. AR-Go is the perfect place for RP graduates to continue developing their AR skills on a daily basis.
For more details about AR-GO and to try a free two-week trial, please visit: www.ar-go.live. Memberships after the trial period are on a sliding scale basis, with scholarships available for those who need it.
