Meet-And-Greet and Authentic Relating Games (Free, Online)

Join us for an informal, online meet-and-greet. We’ll share some introductions, chat about the new meetup group, and do some simple authentic relating games. No experience necessary. The only request is that participants keep their cameras on (it’s hard to drop in when you can’t see who you are talking to). If there are enough people, we may utilize breakout rooms for a few of the games.

What is Authentic Relating?
Authentic Relating “games” are interactive exercises done in pairs, or groups, and are designed to help participants go beyond the small talk while exploring deeper levels of connection. They encourage a practice of open communication, active listening, empathy, vulnerability, and self-discovery. They will challenge, and support, you in stepping outside of your comfort zone, in making new friends, and in experiencing the many facets of human connection.

About the Host
Tim Behrens is a musician, writer, process artist, and moderator for Awkwardly Zen, a Denver-based spiritual Meetup group. Since 2019, he has attended a number of trainings and events with Authentic Revolution and ART International, two of the founding organizations for Authentic Relating, and is excited to be making new friends while bringing those practices to Kansas City.

Note on Attendance
To build a safe container in which to interact, will close the room 10-15 minutes after start time, as part of Authentic Relating is understanding 'agreements'.

This event is hosted in collaboration with Authentic Relating Kansas City, so there may be more in attendance than those RSVP'd here. But don't be afraid to join even if there are only a few of us. I've had meaningful experiences even when there are just a few.

Please don't hesitate to message me (Tim) if you have any questions about this event, or the group. You can also find us on our FB Group
