4/25 | Art of REPAIR: The First Steps to Repair
The Art of REPAIR: Foundations for Navigating Conflict
A 4-hour experiential workshop
Fulfilling relationships are not defined by the absence of conflict, but by our ability to meet rupture with skill, care, and courage.
This 4-hour workshop offers a focused introduction to the first three steps of the six-step Art of REPAIR process: Resourcing, Empathy, and Permission. These foundational steps set the conditions that make real repair possible. They help us slow down, stay present, and create enough safety to approach difficult conversations without escalation, collapse, or avoidance.
Rather than jumping straight into fixing or explaining, this workshop teaches you how to prepare your nervous system and your relational field so that conversations can unfold with more clarity, mutual understanding, and trust.
* Please note this workshop is the 1st workshop in a series of 2. The second workshop is The Art of REPAIR: Clearing the AIR on May 10th. You do not need to attend the both workshops, however, it is strongly encouraged.
What this workshop is about
Have you noticed a backlog of unresolved tensions in your relationships?
Do hard conversations feel overwhelming or easy to postpone indefinitely?
Do you long for more ease, honesty, and connection, but are unsure how to begin?
This workshop introduces a practical and compassionate roadmap for approaching conflict differently. Drawing from somatics, trauma awareness, neuroscience, and attachment theory, Dr. Hazel-Grace’s Art of REPAIR methodology offers a grounded alternative to blame, shutdown, or power struggles.
Together, we will focus on the essential groundwork that allows repair to happen at all.
In this workshop, you will learn how to:
Resource yourself during moments of tension
Learn practical tools to calm your nervous system so you can stay present, oriented, and choiceful rather than reactive or overwhelmed.Cultivate empathy without self-abandonment
Practice listening in ways that build understanding while staying connected to your own experience, boundaries, and truth.Establish permission and consent for hard conversations
Learn how to invite dialogue in a way that increases safety and willingness rather than defensiveness or withdrawal.
This workshop is experiential and skills-based. You will have opportunities to practice what you are learning through guided exercises using lower-intensity, real-life scenarios. The emphasis is on integration, pacing, and building confidence step by step.
This workshop is for you if you:
Want more ease and confidence around conflict
Tend to avoid hard conversations or feel flooded by them
Desire deeper connection with partners, family, or community
Want skills that support both current and future relationships
Are single, partnered, monogamous, polyamorous, or somewhere in between
Come solo, with a partner, with friends, or with your polycule. These skills apply to every kind of relationship.

5/9 | The Art of REPAIR: Clearing the AIR
A 4- hour experiential workshop
Repair does not happen through good intentions alone. It happens when we are willing to slow down, tell the truth, listen deeply, and take meaningful responsibility for our impact.
This 4-hour workshop focuses on the final three steps of the six-step Art of REPAIR process: Acknowledge, Impact, and Restore Integrity (AIR). These steps guide participants through the heart of a repair conversation, where accountability, understanding, and trust are either rebuilt or lost.
This workshop is designed for those who want to move beyond avoidance, defensiveness, or surface-level apologies and learn how to stay present through the most tender and consequential parts of repair.
* Please note this workshop is the 2nd workshop in a series. The first workshop is The Art of REPAIR: First steps to REPAIR on April 25th. You do not need to attend the first workshop, however, it is strongly encouraged. https://www.ambrosia.events/dr-hazel-grace-yates/events/art-of-repair-the-first-steps-to-repair
What this workshop is about
Have you ever tried to repair something and made it worse?
Do conversations about harm quickly turn into explanations, justifications, or shutdown?
Do you long for real resolution, not just “moving on”?
The AIR portion of The Art of REPAIR offers a clear, compassionate structure for navigating what comes after rupture. It teaches how to build shared reality, name impact honestly, and choose restorative actions that actually rebuild trust rather than perform repair.
This work weaves somatics, trauma awareness, neuroscience, and attachment theory to support conversations that are grounded, humane, and relationally responsible.
In this workshop, you will learn how to:
Acknowledge without defensiveness or blame
Practice distinguishing between objective facts, differing memories, and interpretations, and learn how to acknowledge another person’s experience even when realities do not fully match.Name and receive impact
Explore how to articulate emotional, somatic, and relational impact, and how to listen in ways that help others feel genuinely heard and understood.Restore integrity after harm
Learn multiple pathways for rebuilding trust, including remorse, restorative actions, revising agreements, rewriting stories, and practicing redos, with an emphasis on discernment, pacing, and sincerity.
Rather than rushing to resolution, this workshop emphasizes slowing down, staying regulated, and choosing repair actions that feel meaningful rather than performative.
How we’ll work
This workshop is experiential and skills-based, with structured practice using lower-intensity scenarios to support learning and integration. Participants are guided step by step so they can build confidence before applying these skills to higher-stakes relationships.
The focus is on presence, accountability, and care, not perfection.
This workshop is for you if you:
Want to feel more confident navigating repair after harm
Struggle with defensiveness, shutdown, or over-explaining
Want to rebuild trust rather than avoid difficult conversations
Are already familiar with the basics of conflict work and want to go deeper
Are in romantic, familial, professional, or community relationships
This workshop can be taken on its own, and pairs especially well with the Foundations workshop (Resourcing, Empathy, Permission).

Art of REPAIR 5-day Retreat, Co-Facilitated with Dr. Hazel-Grace Yates, Nico Garvin + Kamela Love
An apology will shut a conversation down. A good repair opens one up. — Dr. Becky Kennedy
Conflict is inevitable. The health of a relationship depends not on whether conflict happens but on how skillfully we repair. The Art of REPAIR is a practical, embodied, and deeply relational process that transforms rupture into connection, clarity, and trust.
In this workshop, relationship facilitator Hazel-Grace Yates will guide you through the six-step REPAIR Process™. Grounded in an integrative approach, The Art of REPAIR blends somatic and nervous system intelligence, authentic relating and relational attunement practices, power dynamics, trauma-informed communication, interpersonal neurobiology, attachment theory, and restorative justice principles. This multidimensional framework helps participants approach conflict not as a threat but as a portal to deeper intimacy, collaborative problem-solving, and long-term relational health.
To integrate your learning, we will weave in movement, songs, playful connection games, guided reflection, and time in nature, supporting not only cognitive understanding but a full-bodied, lasting transformation.
