Four Fold Way Dialogues 2026
Explore the Four Fold Way—and How It Helps You Work and Live with Intention and Authenticity
Four Fold Way Dialogues 2026
Angele’s Arrien’s Four Fold Way offers a way to work with what it actually means to be fully human. Her work sits also at the foundation of the Genuine Contact way of working. Through these dialogues, grounded in the Genuine Contact approach, you'll explore these universal human qualities alongside others who are committed to showing up authentically in their work and lives.
These interactive sessions offer an opportunity to explore the wisdom of The Four Fold Way, based on the teachings of Angeles Arrien. Through dialogue, reflection, and simple practices grounded in the Genuine Contact approach, you'll engage with timeless archetypes that support a full, creative, and authentic life.
The sessions are designed for people who have worked with me before, where the Four Fold Way has already touched your thinking. You'll deepen your understanding and practice while discovering how the archetypes weave together to create a fuller picture of human wholeness. We'll work in the way I always do—discovering what's already alive in you and in the group, rather than imposing an external framework.
It is possible to join any session individually, or join one or both series, following what feels most meaningful and doable for you at this time.
Two Ways to Learn in 2026
Day-Long Sessions in Nature
Two full-day immersive experiences where we'll explore the archetypes while working directly with the natural world around us. There's something about learning in nature, not just about it,that contributes to deeper practice, clearer insight, and lasting capacity with the Four Fold Way.
These sessions are developed to explore the relationships and connections between the four archetypes, to notice how they can strengthen one another in life.
Whether you've attended the evening series or are new to this work, you're welcome to join. The cross-pollination of experiences deepens the learning for everyone.

Who These Sessions Are For?
These dialogues are most meaningful for people who are familiar with the Four Fold Way, by having worked with me, or who have engaged in and are familiar with Genuine Contact.
If that's not your background but you're drawn to this work, reach out to me. We can explore together whether it's right for you. If after that talk you would like to join, you would be very welcome!
About Me
Doris Gottlieb As a Genuine Contact Trainer and Consultant, using Genuine Contact as my foundation, I've been facilitating with the Four Fold Way for many years, weaving it through coaching, workshops, and organizational work. What draws me to this framework is its simplicity and depth—how it names something universal about what it means to show up fully as ourselves and as members of communities and organizations.
These dialogues emerged from requests from people I've worked with who wanted a regular, sustained space to deepen this practice together. They're an extension of that commitment: to create conditions where wisdom unfolds, where people feel truly seen, and where authentic change becomes possible.
