Each one will be recorded for your private use for up to a month following the completion of the course. Can I join with my partner(s)? Yes, simply share this form with them and indicate below that you're joining together. Will this be lecture-style, or interactive? The course is highly interactive. While you are welcome to opt out at any time, there will be many opportunities to work directly with Claire, in small groups, and 1-1 with other participants. Can I listen in on the call if I'm unable to attend by video? We ask that all participants do their best to keep video on. We also ask that participants join the call from a private space with minimum potential for distraction. If you're not able to participate in this manner, please review the recording afterwards and add your voice to the group chat. Can I join after the course has begun? We will close registration at 12pm EST on February 9th, 24 hours before the beginning of the course. About Claire Berjot: Claire is a psychotherapist and a coach, with a specific interest in how we are in relationships with ourselves, with others, and with the world around us. This led her to explore modalities such as mindfulness meditation, authentic movement, intuitive voice, altered states of consciousness, NVC (Non Violent Communication) as well as SE’s trauma work (Somatic Experiencing). She then eventually pursued her master's degree in Transpersonal Psychotherapy at Naropa University (Boulder, CO). She’s completed her relational education with a level 2 PACT training (a Psychobiological Approach to Couple’s Therapy), based on the latest advances in neuroscience, nervous system regulation, and attachment theories. She also trained in IFS (Internal Family Systems) and IFIO (Intimacy from the Inside Out) and loves how parts work naturally weaves in curiosity and compassion for our experiences. As she holds holistic containers for deep transformation, her work is equally anchored in the experience of the body, mind, and soul. She feels passionate about transmitting the tools, skills, and psychoeducation we all need to thrive relationally.

Welcome to the Adam Lamb Adventure Club podcast. In this episode I spoke with Om Rupani.

Om is a BDSM educator in the NYC area. I first met him at his workshop “Dating & Dominance for the Modern Man”, held at his home in Jersey City. The workshop profoundly shifted how I relate to women, and paradoxically led to me taking a year off from pursuing them.

Om’s approach, based on two decades of data working with men, women, and couples, was somehow equally heart-felt and confronting. I found that many of his ideas were new to me, particularly in man/woman relating, sub/dom archetypes, and his view that modern feminism is synonymous with a disrespect of men.

After listening to all of his podcast episodes, which I highly recommend, I still had questions. Om was kind enough to give me an hour of his time.In this episode, we discuss: 

• Polarity

• Agreement

• Containment

• The importance of adoration in romance

• When to end a relationship

• Developing self-containment through meditation and physical activity 

• When to take a break from women

• The importance of men having male friends

• Porn & masturbation

• Om’s favorite depiction healthy masculinity in media

• Men as sex workers for women

• Feminism

• Growing up in India

• The Landmark Forum

• His path from student to co-facilitator with Laurie Handlers

• What is love?
