“These courses have changed my life. I’m more comfortable in my own skin by working through my early childhood programming and helping me connect with a truer sense of myself. The group format doing personal development is potent. You learn by experiencing things for yourself and by observing what others are going through. I appreciate Phil’s wisdom and experience in orchestrating and supporting breakthroughs throughout the participants. We feel like we all come out of it levelled up and knowing ourselves more deeply.”

Our trainings are offered in various locations.
Our trainings are open for singles and couples, as this deals with your relationship to yourself, others and the universe.
You’ll develop relationship skills via applied shadow work, aimed at understanding our blind spots that keep us repeating dysfunctional habits and patterns in relationship, both of the primary intimate sort, and in our extended relationships in general.
Here’s what to expect:

10-Week In-Person Training
Vancouver, BC
CRT is a lively, in-depth training that is renowned for pushing participants into a direct encounter with some of the more problematic parts of their ego-minds.
Long term trainings are particularly valuable for those wishing to deeply integrate the teachings into their daily lives. They are also excellent vehicles for connecting deeply with a group of fellow travelers who are equally committed to the process of waking up from relationship patterns that do not serve us.
Upcoming Training
Date: Every Wednesday, April 8 – June 10, 2026
Time: 7PM – 9:45PM
Location: Near Burrard St & 16th Ave, Vancouver
The course will be lead by Phil T. Mistlberger (founder) and assistant teachers.
What Past Students are Saying
“CRT helped me uncover blind spots. By definition, I didn’t know about this part of me. But what I also didn’t know was the impact these unconscious beliefs were having on me. The result transformed my life. That’s why I did CRT again and again. Each round of CRT uncovers more layers. Thanks, Phil.”
It wasn’t until this training that I realized all my years of therapy – in every form – were just sophisticated ways of avoiding what I truly needed to face. This isn’t therapy, it’s ‘work’ that doesn’t skim the surface like most other forms out there. It puts you face-to-face with the very thing you’ve spent your life running.
It didn’t coddle me. It didn’t offer feel-good tricks. It cracked me open – and for the first time, someone saw the parts of me I’d spent a lifetime unconsciously hiding.
Phil has spent his entire life doing/forming this work and is unlike any teacher – or person – I’ve ever encountered. His presence is ferociously wise, precise, and deeply caring – the kind that demands you stop running, to find own peace and self-reliance.
Yes, the training is intense when you expose what you’ve buried. But you’re not alone – you’re held by a community of people doing the exact same work. And in that mutual exposure/acceptance, something fundamental rewires.
I’ve returned to this training again and again, and each time, I learn something I couldn’t have seen before.
I can’t imagine my life without it.
Thanks Phil T. Mistlberger for continuing to run this training and sharing your extensive expertise, and fostering such a supportive, loving community. I’ve taken it more than four times now and have always found it transformative in terms of helping me connect with others and be the best version of myself. I’m very much looking forward to this next one. Really grateful to be part of this community. 🙏
Thank you, Phil T. Mistlberger for continuing to bring this work to the world. CRT exposed some of the darker parts of myself to myself and the larger community. I’m more accepting of myself and others because of it. Diving into shadow work allows us to know ourselves more fully and that is powerful. Can’t wait for September!
A journey that has transformed my life and relationship to myself 10x over. Extremely grateful for this work, space and community. 🙏❤️

Georgianna Lee is a coach & counsellor specializing in attachment, somatics and family systems; Stephanie Hunter is a spiritual counsellor specializing in shadow work and metaphysics — two very different humans with very different approaches to the same goal: helping people build real, lasting connection with themselves and the people they love.
Our work is grounded in science and spirit, bringing together regulation, self-inquiry, and relational skills that help you build the capacity to hold life’s messy, beautiful complexity. It’s not about getting it perfect — it’s about showing up, even when it’s hard.
We bring a grounded, integrated approach — G leads gently and Steph is more blunt, and we meet someplace magic in the middle where real change is inspired for participants from all walks of life. The secret to deep, conscious connection, isn’t actually a secret — we can show you the way! Join us.
With love,
Georgianna & Steph

What does “Conscious Relationship” mean?
An important thing should be understood at the beginning. Conscious Relationship, as it’s meant here, is not concerned with the standard self-help formulas to achieve ‘happiness’ and ‘completion’ in the conventional romantic way. Not that there is anything wrong with happiness and the ideal of romantic completion, but we’re angling toward something deeper and more lasting.
In this context, Conscious Relationship is rather about our relationship with the Cosmos, with the Totality of All That Is, and how that essential relationship reflects for us in all our individual relationships, and in particular, in our dance with intimacy.
To state that our relationship with the Cosmos is the basis of Conscious Relationship does not mean, of course, that we are not concerned with our key individual relationships: family, spouses, partners, lovers, colleagues, friendships. On the contrary, it is here, in the gritty details of our personal relationships, where we do our work. But it also means that we endeavor to remember that all relationships are founded on a Ground of Being, a Primary Source.
Our relationship with that Ground or Source must be cultivated, and our consciousness aligned with it, in order for our interpersonal relationships to be not just functional, but to be the basis for our growth as well. Everything we do in the Work of Conscious Relationship is a means to that end.
Translated into simple language, this means that a relationship, in order for it to be healthy, must be oriented toward some higher purpose, some goal, some reason-for-being. If not, if both individuals (or more than two if we’re speaking of a family, or company, etc.) are not growing, then the relationship runs the risk of becoming a co-dependent bubble.
About the Founder
Phil T. Mistlberger was born in Montreal in 1959 and educated at John Abbott College (D.E.C., 1979) and Concordia University. He has been involved in the teachings of conscious relationship in one form or another since the early 1980s when he was initiated to the controversial Indian Tantric mystic Osho. In addition to almost a decade in Osho’s community, he spent two years training as a transpersonal therapist and teacher of ACIM, spent time in the Gurdjieff Work, and trained under a number of Buddhist teachers. Since 1993 he has founded and co-founded several communities based mainly on the principles of Conscious Relationship. He has taught widely around the world, is the author of four critically acclaimed books, and is the founder of Conscious Relationship Trainings (Vancouver).
