Authentic Relating - Winter Solstice

Hello and welcome to our special Authentic Relating - Winter Solstice edition. In this gathering, we celebrate this auspicious time of year by slowing down (even more than usual), inviting stillness and a heightened awareness of the effect we have on each other and that nature has on us.

WHEN?
Saturday December 20th - 10:30am - 12:30pm

WHERE?
Denver Public Library Ross-University Hills Branch (4310 E Amherst Ave)

AUTHENTIC RELATING GAMES
Authentic Relating (AR) is the practice of being with what is, together. Through various games we tap in to our own truth and practice revealing it to others, while holding space for other's truth. Games are designed to be connecting and fun! By the end, participants often feel more hopeful and often walk away with a new friend or two :)

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.

This event is for adults and young-adults only. If you are needing to bring a service animal, please reach out beforehand.

What to bring?
This session of AR will be held in the private community room of a library. There will be a laying down guided meditation, and so we invite you to bring a yoga mat, blanket, and/or pillow (and an extra to share if you have). There will be a sitting option if you prefer.
