Hello fellow humans,

Here you are in this moment, reading these words, what does your breath feel like in your body? how does you posture feel? What is most alive for you right now? What is yearning to be expressed? What is tender? What do you wish more people understood about you?
Exploring who you we are can be a whole lot of fun and goodness when done in a supportive environment.
You are warmly invited to this immersive evening of Authentic Relating. This evening will involve fun and interactive exercises based around exploring the theme, "Who am I? How am I? and how are you?"
This is a space for exploring feelings, sensations, boundaries, and self-expression through immersive exercises. This is about empathic collaboration and learning the art of expressing what is present in the moment.
These beautiful practices really encourage an experience of increased depth and awareness, in a way that is sometimes not available in our everyday lives. The exercises work by creating a framework to explore communication in a non-scripted, in the moment way, which edges away from habitual patterns of relating and welcomes in more life, more breath, and more empathy.
One of the benefits of practices, is that it helps with learning to become more aware of ourselves and others and how do we inter-relate.

***NOTE: It is recommended that participants have some experience in understanding themselves, through participating in counselling, sharing circles, meditation, contemplation.

If you are new to Authentic Relating or "AR" (as people in the community refer to it) and you have any questions or curiosities, please feel free to contact me via messenger for a chat. Also, there is a plenty of YouTube results for Authentic Relating practices.
Please arrive on time, unfortunately sometimes people get caught in traffic, or life events stop them from arriving on time. However, for practical reasons the latest people will be allowed in will be 15-20 minuets after the start time of the event. The reason being is that we need to set the container and speak about the shared agreements at the start of the event before deepening into the exercises. (more logistical notes at the end.)
****If you are experiencing financial hardship and wish to attend, please reach out and we can arrange something.
About your Facilitator:

Daniel has spent many years exploring practices that deepen self-awareness, connection, and understanding of the human mind. His journey has included meditation, yoga, studying an Advanced Diploma of Transpersonal Counselling at Phoenix Institute, neurofeedback, and working in support roles for transformational events, where he was closely mentored in space holding and sound healing between 2013–2018.
Dan first encountered Authentic Relating at Confest in 2014, where he met his long-term mentor, Ryan Marwood, one of the early pioneers of Authentic Relating workshops in Melbourne. Daniel’s facilitation style has been deeply shaped through thousands of hours participating in Ryan’s events. Since then, he has continued to immerse himself in hundreds of workshops, facilitator trainings, and group experiences within the Authentic Relating framework.
For the past five years, Dan has been facilitating monthly Authentic Relating Games nights, as well as deeper immersive group trainings that invite people into greater connection, presence, authenticity, and courageous vulnerability. He continues to engage in ongoing trainings and embodied practices, bringing a grounded, heartfelt, and continually evolving approach to his facilitation.

Some logistical things to note:
-It is helpful for people to arrive before the start time of the event so that we can start in the most cohesive way. If in the unlikely event you are running really late, the doors for the event will be locked after 15 mins to max 20 minutes after the event has commenced. This is a non-negotiable, as it is important that we speak about the core agreements of engaging in this work at the beginning of the evening.

-Please read all the information on here and the eventbrite page.
-Please do not arrive without buying a ticket through the link, as the event regularly sells out, and you may risk not being able to attend (unless you contact me beforehand.
-Events can sometimes run 5-10 minutes over the scheduled finish time, please allow for that.
-Refunds are not available, however you can receive an 80% credit for a future event, and it must be used within 6 months of original event
-Meditation, journaling, walking can be a great way to self-regulate before attending an event, however, there will be time to slow down and drop into our bodies throughout the entire evening
