Authentic Relating: Needs Behind Challenge

What if the conflicts in your life weren’t problems to fix—but doorways to deeper understanding?
In this interactive Authentic Relating (AR) event, we’ll explore what unmet needs often sit beneath tension, frustration, and disconnection. Rather than focusing on who’s right or wrong, we’ll practice shifting attention to what truly matters underneath: our shared basic human needs; as described by Marshall Rosenberg (NVC).
Through guided games and real-time exercises, you’ll practice slowing down, listening more deeply, and uncovering what truly matters—both in yourself and others.
Whether you're navigating family dynamics, relationships, or everyday interactions, this experience offers a supportive space to:

• Recognize the needs driving conflict
• Express yourself with honesty and care
• Build deeper, more meaningful connections

Come as you are—no experience necessary. Just bring your curiosity and willingness to connect.
