How it Works

  • Each course is 4 3-hr classes over 4 weeks.

  • ​Each class is equal parts lecture, demo, practice sessions with fellow students and vigorous Q & A.

  • Between classes, once a week, you conduct a peer-to-peer practice session with a fellow student, taking turns as speaker and listener, and thus providing healing transformation for every student.​

What is Wise Peer Support?

Unlike in counseling or therapy in which one person is the designate healer and the other the individual who needs healing, Wise Peer Support is mutual and equal. Working in pairs in a precisely-structured "container,"  each person takes a full turn. Both parties offer and receive Wise Support. Each party, during their turn as speaker, is in charge of their own process. During their turn as listener, each party witnesses the peer with love and all the skills of a Wise Peer.

The Wise Peer Curriculum

Wise Peer teaches 40+ concepts, life skills, tools, and embodiment techniques that can heal and transform individuals and groups into more loving, mutually supportive and collaborative communities.

Picture

The Wise Peer Foundation Course

This 4-week course is mainly inward-facing, teaching you tools that empower and heal you.
You experience being fully heard out and become trained and empowered to fully hear out the other person, leading you to effectively problem solve, resolve conflict, and even heal hurts and traumas of the past. Through this, life together becomes peaceful and harmonious without anyone having to feel they've had to "give in" or compromise to keep the peace. 
​Students learn concepts, tools and embodiment techniques and how to apply them in a structured session format that facilitates trust, connection, collaboration, and the safe release of past hurts and emotional wounds, leading to healing, and the restoration of loving togetherness.
Tuition includes 30-pg manual

Picture

The Wise Peer Advanced Course

This 4-week course is more outward-facing, teaching you tools that empower and facilitate others in becoming healed.
You experience being seen to an unprecedented extent as if the other person understood you almost better than you do yourself. You learn to let go of unhealthy enmeshments and become your authentic self with solid boundaries.
​Students learn advanced tools to identify unconscious life patters that run the show, learn to distinguish personal biases and conceptions that influence their experiences, and a series of embodiment tools that ingrain the skill to remain their authentic selves rather than become adapted to their environments. As in the Foundation Course, they learn to facilitate these processes in others.
Tuition includes 42-pg manual

Picture

The Wise Peer Master Course

This 4-week course is inward and outward-facing, teaching you tools for transformation.
You experience freedom from the patterns of your past and can facilitate achievement of this freedom for others. You become a master at connecting with your divine inner wisdom, putting insights at your fingertips that lead to tailor-made solutions.​  You will be able to let go and learn to rest more deeply than you imagined possible.
Students learn to distinguish which patterns of behavior they do well with and which are triggers. They learn master facilitation tools. They become skilled in the art of allowing cognitive dissonance. They learn to  become whole and deeply self-accepting. This leads to unprecedented freedom, making it possible to design their life and facilitate others in designing theirs. 
Tuition includes 38-page manual

Power Point Slides

Testimonials

This evening, I led the Olympia Community for Interfaith Celebration through a version of Wise Peer, inspired by your workshop at the 2017 Gender Odyssey. There were 40-50 people present. The tool was very well received. In the debrief, one member stated that she had a friend that just lost her brother and his entire family in a car crash. She wanted to "be there" for her friend and now she knew she could be because she had a tool she could use to simply listen and witness her friend through the grieving process. You've given a huge gift to the world. Thank you so much!   
-Jamie Rainwood, Olympia

Henry's Teaching Style

Picture
​So that the learning can enter heart and body, not just mind, Wise Peer workshops employ all seven learning styles with a special emphasis on kinesthetic learning through game-like exercises, interpersonal learning through working in pairs, and aural learning through guided visualizations. Because working together with a partner and playing games in group delivers more and better learning than sitting in a chair for hours, Henry India strives to make the Wise Peer workshop entertaining and collaborative. To tap the power of visual learning, they employ colorful and evocative PowerPoint slides that make complex concepts quickly grasped. Additionally, as a nonbinary individual, Henry connects empathically with people from communities that are often othered.
