ABOUT THE FACILITATORS
Our expert facilitators are highly qualified in this art and bring years of experience teaching authentic relating. Our curriculum designers have found and created the most innovative and effective relational practices available to deliver a life-changing experience that deepens with practice.
VIX ANDERTON
Course Leader
Vix is an eco-somatic coach and authentic relating facilitator whose work centres on restoring connection: to the body, to other humans, and to the more-than-human world. She works at the intersection of eco-therapy, embodiment, cyclical living, and authentic relating.
She is particularly attentive to how disconnection is produced by racialised capitalism, colonialism, patriarchy, and perfectionism, and how relational practice can interrupt those patterns. Her work prioritises integration over intensity, practice over performance, and capacity-building over quick transformation, helping people cultivate sustainable, honest, and revolutionary ways of being in a time of polycrisis.
ABOUT ART INTERNATIONAL
Our vision is to co-create a more enlivened, awakened, and authentic world through human connection. We believe that we all have the capacity to be bridges – between parts of ourselves, between ourselves and others, and between different communities around the world.
When we transform ourselves, we can then transform our relationships.
When we transform our relationships, we can then transform the world.
We are a team of experienced and passionate facilitators, leaders, coaches, entrepreneurs, and volunteers dedicated to the practice of authentic relating and the production of authentic relating trainings. We're committed to bringing about a world of healthy, conscious, connected, revealed, enlivened, and intimate relationships, with both self and others.
