 "Taber's a brilliant facilitator. Working with him has enriched & deepened the love in all of my relationships. He's been a guiding light through the shadow side." 
    - Josh Brockmann, Sales & Marketing, Financial Circles 
 
 
Don't you want richer relationships, deeper friendships, more love, intimacy,  and conscious community in your life? Don't we all? That's why I spend my life learning the subtle art of creating connection, and teaching it to others. I love helping others create more love in their lives, and I'd love to share this art with you.
 
Like most, I've suffered both of the main forms of disconnection: loneliness and conflict.
 
I've felt alone, pining for love and friendship. Other times, smack dab in the middle of relationship hell, sayin': "lemme outta here!" And ironically, some of my loneliest times were right in the bosom of my family & friendships.  Can ya feel me?
 
I had to learn the hard way that the common element in all these situations was me,
and that I would have to change. So I did. I really got to know and love my own
insides -- the light and the dark -- and learned to openheartedly share myself with others.
 
I learned and developed a new way of noticing, and of speaking and listening, a new psycho-spiritual art form that I call Soulful Communication. With this art, I've created beautiful results in my life. I want the same for you. Whether you're new to the practice of authenticity or even if you're an old hand, I can help you take your skills to the next level.

   

I teach this work all over the country, and have the honor of changing thousands of lives. I do private sessions, weekend workshops, and residential retreats of a week or more (in gorgeous places like Hawaii -- oh, yeah!). Recently, to expose more Bay Areans to Soulful Communication, I've developed an evening workshop I call Beyond Hiding & Fighting.
 
I'm offering this workshop as a gift. I can't teach you the art of Soulful Communication in 3 hours, but I will give you powerful, life-transforming tools and ideas in this experiential  workshop.
 
In my weekend workshop, I'm able to go into much greater depth. I share the skills needed to really walk this path, and support you in practicing the art of creating connection and community. But there's a catch: those who do this work together get hooked. Eventually, they just can't help loving each other, and feeling compelled continue...
 
So consider yourself officially invited to join us!  I hope you feel called...
This journey of life and learning to love is a grand adventure, is it not?
Sometimes a little daunting, sometimes a little lonesome...
Will you allow me to lend you a hand?
Hoping to meet you soon... 
 
Warmly,
Taber
