Wise Peer Communication
The Healing Art of Listening
Communication tools & techniques that heal issues and bring people together
Wise Peer Communication is a safe & mutually facilitative communications technology that heals relationships and conflicts to create community.
The Four Pillars
WISE POWER
HOW DO I GET THE OTHER PERSON TO LISTEN?
Wise Peer is designed to even the playing field to avoid disempowerment. This is accomplished with the Session Protocol that has everyone taking an equal turn in the Speaker as well as the Listener role. Unlike in situations where one person has more control or is seen as the expert, Wise Peer Communication is mutual and equal and empowers all participants, creating excitement and openness, and setting free human genius. |
WISE STRUCTURE
HOW DO WE AVOID ENDING UP IN A FIGHT?
Wise Peer Communication is not a free-wheeling conversation. is governed by specific Session Structures & Protocols that creates a container for the session to safeguard positive outcomes. For example, Wise Peers working in pairs or groups take turns to assure that everyone is heard and receives wise support. |
WISE LISTENING
WHY IS IT SAFE FOR THE SPEAKER TO SHARE?
During their turn as Speaker, individuals are in charge of their own process and empowered to share as freely as feels comfortable. As part of the Session Protocol, they receive training in how to authentically convey themself without being triggering. HOW CAN YOU LISTEN WHEN WHAT THE OTHER PERSON SAYS TRIGGERS YOU? During their turn as Listener, individuals employ Active Listening Skills that ground and support them such that they are able to listen without becoming triggered. This creates a safe space for Listeners and Speakers, leading to breakthroughs. |
WISE HEALING
WHY DOES THIS PROCESS WORK?
Not only does communication break down in a conflict or during trauma, it was never communication to begin with because talking without listening is not communication. During conflict and hurt, the first thing that disappears is the ability to listen. Being truly and fully heard is the most profound and effective healing process in existence. It leads to forgiveness, freedom, and transformation. It brings people together and frees up heart and mind to invent new solutions where, before, there seemed to be none. Wise Peer empowers the Speaker to be vulnerable to share what matters most deeply, rather than from a space of emotional trigger. It empowers the Listener to listen without being triggered. Wise Peer teaches the tools to make this possible. |

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.
The Wise Peer Foundation CourseThis 4-week course is mainly inward-facing, teaching you tools that empower and heal you.
Students learn concepts, tools and embodiment techniques and how to apply them in a structured session format that facilitates trust, connection, and collaboration. They learn how to safely release past hurts and emotional wounds, leading to healing, and the restoration of loving togetherness.
|
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.
Tuition included 30-Page Manual
The Wise Peer Advanced CourseThis 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.

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!

Henry's Teaching Style
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, evocative, and playful PowerPoint slides that make complex concepts easy to grasp. Additionally, as a nonbinary individual, Henry connects empathically with people from communities that are often othered.
