THE SALTZMAN APPROACH
A Group Based Process for Relational Depth, Emotional Healing, and Spiritual Evolution
In a world where technology that was supposed to unite us...
It often leaves us feeling disconnected, many people with thousands of social media friends feel isolated, even when they are in the room with others.
We believe that human contact, in a loving container, can build trust, sooth the soul, and calm the nervous system.
Hello, I'm Ben Saltzman, the founder of The Saltzman Method and co-facilitator of Relational Mastery.
Introducing our foundational program "Relational Mastery", where you get to immerse yourself in The Saltzman Approach for a full year.
Learn Perspective Jumping & Authentic Relating Skills
When you can put your perspective aside for a minute, jump into another persons perspective, explore it with them, and describe it to them from the inside, dramatic shifts happen.
They discover themselves through the process, feel deeply held and accepted, and let go of false beliefs as they are revealed. This often an emotionally healing experience.
The benefit to you is that become less reactive and attached to your own limiting beliefs and reaction patterns. Your heart tends to open toward them as you understand them more fully, your capacity for empathy increases and you soften your hard edges.
You learn Perspective Jumping and Relational Skills through a practice we call "Circling" where, in a small circle of participants, one person is getting circled and is sharing something with the group. The group members are actively trying to understand what it's like to be them and, "get their world" in a precise, and deep way.
You learn Authentic Relating skills to reveal yourself in ways that people accept you, care for you, and learn to trust you. You also develop structures to navigate conflict and misunderstandings and practice them so as you resolve conflicts you feel closer to the people in your life.
PROGRAM LOGISTICS
VIRTUAL LEARNING
Twice a month you will meet with We Evolve facilitators Reata Rhine and Martin Peters. Days of the week TBA.
MEET WITH BEN
Every third Thursday you will meet with Ben Saltzman with the community for teaching, relational skill building, shadow work, and experiments.
ENNEAGRAM BASED TRANSFORMATIONS
Discover your Enneagram personality type and how your unconscious motivations sabotage your relationships and the gifts you have that create more connection.
CONTINUAL NEW CONTENT
You will receive 1-2 videos each month with: descriptions of new skills, Enneagram Type information, demo circles, and frameworks for your development.
TRANSFORMATIONAL PRAYERS
You will also receive Transformational Prayers specific to your Enneagram Type. These are progressive so you will get new ones that pace you as you learn new skills and go through the transformational process.
TIME FRAME
This will be a year long program. We take a month off in July and December for vacation.
The Power of Group
We have found that when you commit to a group (your cohort) for a full year something in your psyche shifts. As you practice skills and principles to see others and be seen trust deepens. A few months in you develop enough connection and trust that your core relational patterns get activated (often by other group members or the facilitator!) and emerge for exploration, healing and transformation.
This is intentional and time is built into the fabric of the course for resolution of the issues between group members, and for the individual work on the core relational patterns that get kicked up.
The Evolution of Your Enneagram Type
Think of your Enneagram Personality Type as a false self that was originally created to help you navigate life and now needs to change.
It is often getting in the way of you creating connection and harmony with loved ones. As you do your work with us your Type will often go through a deconstruction process where it releases it's grip on you. As it lets go you loose a layer of reactivity, and see the world more as it is, rather than as you are. This is what we refer to as personal evolution. It is the maturing of your soul.
Optional Weekend Events
You are invited and encouraged to attend two weekend events in Santa Cruz over the course of the year. These events are optional. The events are open to the public, and will have time for you to gather with the students in Relational Mastery programs. You will receive 60% off the regular price of these events to make it easy to attend.
MEET YOUR COHORT FACILITATORS
MARTIN PETERS
I am a successful real estate investor, and businessman who has found himself at a loss in relationships and emotional muted. In Ben's Relationship Mastery year long program, that changed. I turned my past relationship pain into my greatest freedom and love in my life. And so can you!
REATA RHINE
Most people saw me as an outgoing, independent woman yet I struggled inside with feeling unlovable. I seemed to be stuck in an endless loop of giving more than I got and not knowing how to change that to a fulfilling relationship. Until now.
Together, we are better. With our combined gifts of attunement and personalization, we are your guides into more authentic living and loving in the Saltzman Method of relational mastery.

PROGRAM CONTENTS IN A NUTSHELL
"Change is when we learn a new skill or useful new information; transformation is when we reorganize at a deeper level, a new platform for a whole new approach to lifelong learning and growth. You'll get both with Ben Saltzman. The work is immediately practical and ultimately spiritual -- new connections, new capacities, new power and freedom in living.."
Gordon Wheeler
