Learn Relational-Cultural Therapy through small group discussion and guidance from advanced RCT practitioners. At the Bloomington Center for Connection, our Relational-Cultural trainings and consultation spaces are designed to move beyond theory into lived, relational practice—where courage, clarity, and growth emerge together. This is a place to deepen your work, alongside others who are committed to practicing RCT in real time. Join a cohort group to create supported vulnerability for exploring your own strategies of disconnection, relational images, and how the central relational paradox impacts you and your work.

Whether you are new to Relational-Cultural Therapy or have been practicing for years, this community is designed to meet you where you are. Some come looking for structure and guidance. Others come for connection and reflection. Most find that they leave with both—a deeper understanding of RCT and a renewed sense of possibility in their clinical work.

Over time, the impact often extends beyond individual sessions. As clinicians feel more supported and connected, their work tends to shift in ways that foster greater mutuality, responsiveness, and growth for the people they serve. In this way, the benefits ripple outward—from the group, into clinical practice, and into the broader communities we are all a part of.

This is not just a place to learn Relational-Cultural Therapy.

It is a place to practice it, together.

Training in Relational-Cultural Therapy comes alive in connection. At the Bloomington Center for Connection, our Relational-Cultural trainings and consultation spaces are designed to move beyond theory into lived, relational practice—where courage, clarity, and growth emerge together. This is a place to deepen your work, alongside others who are committed to practicing RCT in real time. Learning through a group experience allows you time to integrate and practice the complex ideas and theory presented in RCT.

Below is our calendar for the 2026-2027 training year, starting June 12 with the first clinical consultation with Amy. Scroll through to see the offerings!

Through our monthly clinician relational group and consultation spaces, you’ll have the opportunity to explore your work in a way that is reflective and active. Rather than focusing only on case conceptualization, we attend to the relational process as it unfolds—within sessions, within supervision, and within the clinician group itself. This creates room to notice patterns of disconnection, experiment with repair, and build the capacity for supported vulnerability in real time.

Each gathering includes a focused teaching component to ground the work in core RCT concepts—followed by a relational lab where those ideas can be explored together. Over time, this rhythm supports not just intellectual understanding, but embodied knowing. Many clinicians find this kind of space increases their sense of clarity in sessions, while also reducing the isolation that can come with clinical work.

Membership also includes access to a growing library of clinical resources designed to support your practice. These materials are intentionally practical—tools, prompts, and frameworks you can use with clients, in supervision, or for your own reflection. You’ll also receive previews of our Toybox cards, offering accessible ways to bring relational concepts into both clinical and everyday contexts.

In addition to monthly gatherings, members are invited into quarterly trainings that explore key areas of Relational-Cultural Theory in more depth. These trainings are designed to be engaging and applicable, with an emphasis on integrating RCT into real-world practice. Recordings are available for the teaching portions, allowing you to revisit concepts or engage with the material when your schedule allows. For local clinicians, there are opportunities to join in-person relational groups.

Just as important as the content is the community. Many clinicians describe their training as strong in theory but limited in opportunities for ongoing relational support. This space offers a chance to connect with others who are practicing RCT—people who understand the nuances of mutuality, power, and disconnection, and who are committed to growing in their work.

There is room here for uncertainty. Room to not have the answer. Room to name what feels difficult or unclear. In a field that can sometimes emphasize expertise over exploration, this kind of space can be both grounding and freeing.
