Relateful Gathering w/ James Dial

What is Relatefulness?
Relatefulness is a living, breathing practice of exploring presence, truth, and love in relationship.
We come together to notice and share what’s alive in us and between us.
Instead of talking about connection, we practice actually being in it.

How has this practice impacted us?
“Relatefulness helps me step into the flow of life, and out of living only in my head.”
“I first started coming for professional development. But I kept coming for the community and connection.”
“This practice has really helped me more lovingly hold my own discomfort, which has greatly expanded my ability to be with others’ discomfort.”

What to Expect
Across large-group sessions, small groups, and pairs, we’ll play in the field of connection:
Bringing language to what’s happening right now — in body, heart, mind, and awareness.

Sinking into our experience in connection, letting ourselves feel the aliveness that is already here.

Trying on others’ experiences and updating our assumptions.

Relaxing control and cultivating trust in what unfolds naturally.

Practicing love and truth in real time

You’ll be invited to stay close to your own experience — no one is asked to perform, share beyond their truth, or “break through.”

What Not to Expect
This is not a therapy session or group healing experience, although healing can occur.

It’s a group exploration of truth, love, and awareness, created by the people who are present.
Here’s what not to expect:

No “safe space” guarantees.

We aim for brave space — where safety grows from honesty and genuine care, not from rules that protect us from feeling. If there is care here, it will be because we bring it.

No enforced hierarchy of emotions.

Beauty, awkwardness, boredom, joy — all are welcome.
Each experience has worth, and none automatically justify themselves as more important.

No promise of comfort, but plenty of nourishment.

We oscillate between challenge and ease — both are nutrients in this living practice.
Note: The cabin is located down a long gravel driveway. You won’t see it from the road—don’t worry, you’re in the right place. Just keep driving and you’ll arrive at our cozy gathering space.

Please arrive a few minutes early to park, find a seat, and settle in
