Description
Two Open Doors is dedicated to exploring the many sides of deep personal relationship. We explore how relationship works; the range of relationship, from everyday to intimate; how we can understand and grow our personal capacity for relationship; how to identify and deal with relationship blockers; and how to make deep human connection a central part of your own life. Host Dr. Claude shares his insights, and invites guest presenters and listeners to contribute their perspectives. Please join us!
New weekly episodes are usually published on Sundays. You may also want to check out the companion private Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/645271539750218 (for posts and discussion), and the Two Open Doors Meet-Up group at https://www.meetup.com/two-open-doors/ (for event announcements).
