TRANSFORMATIONAL DIALOGUE - Training 

Embodied Relational Presence

A Two-Day Weekend Workshop

with

KEITH PHILLIPS

 

27th/28th June 2026

'A transformative, phenomenal, exhilarating, fun and fulfilling workshop' - CJ

This dynamic workshop, in Transformational Dialogue (TD), brings a powerful and enriching dimension to therapeutic practice. Transformational Dialogue can profoundly support and deepen the work you already do, bringing greater depth, authenticity, and healing potential to your practice. It offers a way of working that is deeply soulful and that has the potential to open us spiritually to our deepest essential nature.

 

This approach can significantly increase your effectiveness and confidence as a practitioner. Through Transformational Dialogue we bring a deeper humanity into our work - an approach that is both humbling and deeply rewarding.

 

At its heart, Transformational Dialogue is a process of opening and deepening. One of the most beautiful aspects of this work is that both practitioner and client experience this unfolding together. In the shared space of presence and connection, both are touched and transformed by the exchange. The relational field is experienced by both, as a resource and a gateway into healing.

 

A central element of this approach is consciously becoming aware of, and inhabiting body sensations, emotion, and the images that arise in experience. Within the therapeutic relationship we together explore the client’s felt sense - their bodily sensations, emotions, intuitions, and inner imagery. At the same time, as practitioners, we develop the capacity to remain present to the sensations, emotions, and images that arise within ourselves in the relational field. This can open us both to the underlying unified field of foundational consciousness and the shared unity of being.

 

Through this workshop you can expect not only your professional practice, but also your own life, to be touched and enriched.

TRANSFORMATIONAL DIALOGUE

 

Transformational Dialogue (TD) is a conversation rooted in presence and authentic connection between practitioner and client. It involves a gentle yet profound enquiry into the truth of the present moment, opening awareness to what is deeply alive within both ours and the client’s experience that accompany the exploration of the difficulties and suffering they bring.

 

TD is an empowering form of dialogue that is deeply healing in and of itself. It also creates the conditions for genuine receptivity in the client, preparing the ground for any hands-on bodywork.

 

Transformational Dialogue recognises the innate wisdom, emotional intelligence, and creative capacity of the client. It supports individuals in taking responsibility for their own experience through compassionate awareness in the present moment.

 

Transformation arises spontaneously, moment by moment, without the need for analysis or intellectual understanding. As clients are supported in trusting and staying with their direct experience, insight and healing unfold organically.

I loved Keith’s spirit of enquiry, spaciousness and humour with gems of poetry, literature and philosophical wisdom interwoven. Loads of time and space for the body to land and the soul to sing, thank you

I found the course to be inspirational and very soulful, always honouring the inner wisdom of the client, communication at its deepest level, Beautiful in its simplicity

 

Paula

I heard a song sung by my soul. First quiet but slowly picking up its intensity. I stayed and listened when I could. I touched upon an exquisite deep presence. I stayed when I could. I feel undone, I feel closer to home...
