Hi & Welcome to your Authentic Relating Experience!
We are back, bigger and better than ever!
Authentic Relating (AR) is a practice that promotes deeper, more meaningful human connections through honest, vulnerable, and present communication encouraging individuals to express their truth while staying open and curious about others' experiences.
The practice is rooted in self-awareness, empathy, and active listening, often integrating principles from Nonviolent Communication (NVC), emotional intelligence, and mindfulness.
An Authentic Relating Experience (ARE) involves interactive and playful activities designed to help participants connect more deeply with themselves and others.
The goal is to develop awareness of our internal and external experience and to find personal balance between expression and reception.
- Our Experiences include:
- Connection Games & Exercises
- Circling & Guided sharing
- Noticing & Naming
- Embodied Communication Practices
- Deep listening and reflective interactions
- Exploring Boundaries
No two workshops are ever the same, making each experience truly unique, just like the relationships we seek to build.
Explore the edges of your relational skills, find meaningful moments and Experience true Authenticity with your community.
We are open to all group, the only requirements is to be prepared to lean into your truth which can be uncomfortable and challenging but forever rewarding.
