Vision Battlesword
Vision Battlesword is an autodidact polymath and irreverent weirdo based in Austin Texas. Battlesword has led many lives – Technologist, Corporate Executive, Political Chairman, Organizational Strategist, Homesteader, Inventor, Performer, Freedom Fighter, Family Man, Facilitator, and now, Relationship Builder.
Vision’s life’s purpose is nothing less than the liberation of all being. At heart, he is primarily an Integrator.
Intentional Autonomous Relating is the result of over two decades of research, self-study, life practice, and experience – the picking up of various puzzle pieces from schools of psychology, philosophy, science, personal development, ancient wisdom, spirituality, and his own insights – resulting in the new pattern called IAR and Vision’s personal transformation to a radically different level of peace, joy, and flourishing in relationships. He earnestly seeks to share these new ideas with the world, in the hopes that others may find the same value in their own lives.
What Others are Saying
IAR has been a powerful positive influence in my life. It taught me to relate to people differently and have a different perspective that makes sense. As a result I feel more whole as a person. Since taking the workshops I now know what needs I currently have that are being met or not being met in all my relationships. I’ve learned how expression of these needs and my boundaries around these needs is both powerful and freeing.
I am so thankful to have received this wisdom! The IAR method has helped my husband and I connect on a deeper level and taught us how to communicate our needs and feelings with appreciation for each other’s boundaries in ways we never thought possible! This impressive and exquisitely created method that comes from Vision’s own embodied experience and brilliance is a phenomenal catalyst that I highly recommend to anyone seeking a quantum upgrade to their communication skills and relationships. Thank you!
IAR is a transformation technology for establishing, creating and enhancing rich relationships. It has helped me remove any and all negative patterns in my personal relations and create meaningful relationships. If you haven’t explored IAR you’re missing out on what I’d consider the most revolutionary material for happiness, fulfillment and success in sex, love and romance.
Learning about IAR completely changed my view of how I look at and approach personal relationships. We often hear about the importance of communication but we’re don’t really know HOW to do it properly. IAR breaks this down in a clear way on how to communicate with your partner and what your intentions are for the relationship. It’s changed the way I relate to bonding and how to differentiate various needs. This enables me to create meaningful containers with shared goals and desires.
I found IAR to be incredibly insightful and comprehensive. In our modern dating culture of ambiguous language and game playing, IAR provides a simple framework for communication. I think sometimes it can be challenging to ask for what you want, much less know what you want when it comes to relationships. IAR, not only defines the different channels of relationships, but gives clarity in how to understand which ones best fit your own life. It has been the best relationship workshop I have taken to date!
