Turn pressure into presence

The Interval institute

We offer a grounded, modern approach to human learning and transformation.

We work with individuals and groups to reconnect with their natural capacity for learning, change and inner coherence. Our work is grounded in presence, relational intelligence, somatic awareness and practical psychology.

The work is practical, respectful, and made for people living real lives with real responsibilities.

Facilitator training

The Interval Institute offers training for facilitators who support people moving through disruption, transition, or pressure. This includes professionals working with adults facing unemployment, role change, identity strain, or periods of re-orientation.

Our approach begins with deep respect for the often-hidden potential and innate value present in every person. Facilitators learn to work with people in ways that strengthen dignity, clarity and real possibility.

Core abilities we train:

1.Tolerance for high pressure states

Developing steadiness and self-regulation in facilitator work so people can be meet without collapsing into urgency or control.

2. Understand confusion as a cognitive bridge

Learning to recognize confusion not as failure, but as the moment where perspective is reorganized.

3. Build meta-level attention

Training to see: content, context and process - for instance what is being said; how is the person relating to their experience. Where are we headed with the group. How do we shift from flow to step-to-step and vica versa.

4. Holding complexity and simplicity simultaneously

Being able to offer clarity without oversimplifying, and structure without rigidity.

5. Use metaphor as an epistemic tool

Applying metaphor to unlock meaning, support self-understanding, and create psychological movement without force.
