Details

Come practice the core skills that make authentic connection possible.
In this Authentic Relating (AR) practice session, we’ll explore Curiosity and Empathy—foundational capacities that help us build deeper, more honest, and more compassionate relationships.

Through guided games and relational exercises, you’ll have the opportunity to:

  • Strengthen your ability to notice what’s happening within yourself and between you and others
  • Practice curiosity instead of assumption or judgment
  • Cultivate empathy while staying grounded in your own experience
  • Experience what it’s like to be seen, heard, and met in real time

This is a practice-based space, not a lecture. You don’t need prior experience with Authentic Relating—just a willingness to show up, be present, and engage with kindness and curiosity.

What to expect:

  • Simple, structured AR games
  • Opportunities to connect 1-on-1 and in small groups
  • A supportive container emphasizing on having better conversations

Who this is for:

  • Anyone curious about Authentic Relating
  • People wanting deeper connection and communication skills
  • Those interested in mindfulness, personal growth, or relational presence
