Authentic Relating Games - Morning at the Park

Hello AR Denver! Please join us for Authentic Relating Game at the Park! Are you ready to explore the practice of authentic relating and make new friends in the process? If so, please join us for our morning at the park!

WHEN?
Saturday July 12th - 10:30am - 12:30pm

WHERE? Cheesman Park (east of large pavilion)

AUTHENTIC RELATING GAMES
Authentic Relating is the practice of being with what is, together. We strive to connect to our inner truth and reveal it to others, while also holding space for other's truth in the process.

Authentic Relating Games are facilitated activities and exercises we participate in together to drop into the space of connection and practice our relating skills. Not only are the games connecting, but they are fun! By the end, you will feel more empowered by relationships, and you may even make a new friend!

What to expect?
We will provide a supportive structure used to create a group context around:

• Slowing down
• Expanding our awareness in our body, mind, emotions
• Welcoming everything
• Checking our assumptions
• Revealing our experiences
• Owning our experiences
• Honoring ourselves and others

The result?
— Expanded relational awareness
— Deeper, more meaningful and intimate connections with self and others
— The potential to begin shifting lifelong relational patterns and blocks

All instructions and prompts will be provided; no experience necessary. This workshop is perfect for those new to AR as well as the well-seasoned.
