A practitioner journal documenting what happens when relatefulness meets other frameworks, what works inside the practice, what doesn't, and why it matters.
Jordan here. You're cordially invited to submit a paper for the inaugural issue of ROAR, the new Research on Applied Relatefulness journal.
This is a powerful endeavor to build our communal body of knowledge, cross-pollinate new insights, failures, and best practices, and celebrate all the incredible practitioners, innovations, and generally showcase the community.
We believe relatefulness has a lot to contribute to civilizational knowledge and inquiry about intersubjective awareness, communication, group facilitation, and the strengths and limitations of how these practices interface and apply to other fields of study.
What happens when relatefulness meets other frameworks in practice?
e.g., IFS & relatefulness, functional medicine & relatefulness (coming in the first issue)
Internal relatefulness experiments and best practices.
e.g., a particular exercise, event flow, or structure
Failures and lessons learned.
e.g., a facilitation approach that backfired and what it revealed
Exploring the conceptual foundations of relatefulness and advancing new frameworks.
e.g., "How Not to Start a Cult" — an article version of the Relateful Camp 2024 talk
"We can't study the relational while pretending there's no I or we."
First person, second person, and third person are all welcome (I, we, it). Use whatever constructs enact the experience you're hoping to communicate, including shifting views if needed. Drawing from Integral Methodological Pluralism — but no need to label it.
If you reference someone's work, name them and link to it. We're not imposing APA formatting on practitioners because we think it'll kill submissions.
Skipping for V1: detailed style guides, structured heading requirements, blinded review, cover letters, IRB approval, etc.
Post to the ROAR group on UpTrust. You can submit anytime starting now.
The community can read and comment. This helps everyone get involved — but it's dialogue, not quality control. Don't assume all comments are gospel.
Jordan Myska Allen will review all submissions. Depending on volume, we may expand to a founding editorial board (TBA).
Accepted articles are published on relateful.com, included in a downloadable PDF, and eventually available in print.
Be a founding contributor to an emerging body of knowledge.
Your work gets a permanent, linkable home that others can reference.
Establish yourself as a practitioner-researcher in the relatefulness ecosystem.
Help relatefulness contribute to the larger human conversation about how we relate.
I'm just really excited for the experiential knowledge interchange for the sake of itself. We're also in an era where our globe's biggest problems require coordinating across wildly different perspectives with very distinct values and desires. Relatefulness can be a key contributor to consciously created intersubjective infrastructure — helping people communicate, and find internal peace and sanity amidst unprecedented pace of transformation.
