What we're about
Want better relationships? Looking to feel more connected to others?
Based on the idea of living in the present moment, cultivating self love, and expressing your truths in connection, our Authentic Relating events involve interactive social games & interpersonal meditation practices.
Our Authentic Relating events are immersive small- and medium-size group events which mix emotional intelligence (EQ), relational intelligence (RQ) and meditation practices.
At our events, you can expect to:
Connect with others
Explore a full range of emotions
Play outside your normal box
Practice self-expression
Learn who you are & what you truly want
Develop relational intelligence
Develop integral ("teal") awareness
Develop group leadership skills
Interpersonal meditations are sometimes fun, sometimes intense, sometimes beautiful, sometimes sad. We practice being with each other, and being seen, in the full range of our humanity. We take risks and learn how to set boundaries. We learn how to play, and how to care.
All while making lifelong friends, as we explore these realms of intimacy & authenticity together!

What's Special About an Authentic Relating Community?
Authentic Relating is the practice of utilizing relationships as a lens for self-discovery, and vulnerability as a tool for mind-blowing, heart-opening connection.
Authentic relating is a contemplative path: we meditate on the experience of being together—on the sense of connection, on what arises in relationship with each other. We observe moment by moment, sharing what it's like to be with each other. There is fun available, but also a depth of practice for those who want more.
Over time through this practice, we develop the ability to uphold five principles:
Honor Self
Honor Other
Hide Nothing
Everything is OK
Own Your Experience
Put into one sentence, relational meditation involves tracking our own well-being (Honor Self) in connection with each other (Honor Other), while practicing expressing ourselves honestly, openly, and clearly.
These are wonderful relational practices, and can have a huge influence on your ability to have successful relationships--both at home and in the workplace!
Come check it out!
We invite you to join our community and to experience not just the depth possible in an evening of authentic relating, but the sense of soul-enlivening community available for all who play, relate with us over the long term.
Our groups are presently on Sunday evenings, and we also host occasional weekend workshops, talks, and professional seminars.
Looking forward to meeting you! And don't forget to join our mailing list!
