Relational awareness training
Return to your teams with the relational awareness to play your part in sustaining whole-system resilience.
With all attention on making everything function as expected, each function mastered builds confidence that nothing will go wrong—until one part fails and the whole fragments. When systemic fragmentation stems from broken relationships between functions, improving individual functions misses the point. A better approach is to develop the relational awareness to process how functions relate as a whole. To relax into alert connection and enjoy a dance of anticipation, confident that we can handle whatever comes next.
Welcome. I hope you’re well. My name is Jon Thorne, and I spent the first part of my career separating functional and relational thinking from human connection. In the second, I focused on bringing the relational back to the functional. My book explains why meaningful connection cannot come from focusing only on how things function. That may be enough for some people, but I’m writing for those who want something more.

Some of our teaching members are running this session to give everyone an experience of feeling more human than machine. We experience the whole as greater than the parts. That true growth emerges from embracing fragility rather than solely focusing on resilience. Players will be stopped from acting as a machine i.e. waiting to act until they target a collision they can win. While physicality is acceptable, it should be used to create space for maneuvering around opponents not going through them. Relationships run the play not machines. This approach allows players more time to execute their skills, leading to improvement, which is a pleasant side benefit. The primary aim is for us all to experience feeling more human than machine.
