What if the struggles in your relationships—misunderstandings, disconnection, or defensiveness, for example—weren’t signs of failure, but invitations to deeper calibration, connectionand relational growth?
If this intrigues you, we invite you to register for the Relational Communication Workshop offered by Imago Communication Facilitator, Sonali Sadequee, at Gwinnett Holistic Psychiatry in Lilburn.
This is not your average communication workshop. We envision it as a guided, heart-centered space to explore the alchemy of words, sacred presence, and relational attunement—where you practice skills with a partner to help you:

• Feel truly heard and seen
• Express your needs and boundaries with confidence
• Navigate sensitive conversations with care
• Repair and rebuild trust, safety, and quality connection with each other

The science of relationships is clear: when people feel psychologically safe, their brains stay more open, regulated, and able to connect. Studies in relational neuroscience show that active listening—being present without interrupting, fixing, or judging—directly increases trust, emotional closeness, and cooperation. Without these skills, even small misunderstandings can create lasting distance. But with them, we can co-create relationships that are more secure, satisfying, and emotionally intelligent.

Space is limited, so pre-registration is required to reserve your seat. We kindly ask that participants arrive 15 minutes early to settle in and be fully present. To honor the flow and shared experience of the workshop, doors will close 10 minutes after the scheduled start time. Thank you for helping us create a grounded, spacious container for all who attend.

This is the second of a monthly series of workshops which will help you to grow and strengthen your communication skills.

Your Hosts with Gwinnett Holistic Pschiatry are Thomas and Sharon Yun

Background:

SpeakTeasy community nights have been held for the last eight years in Portland, OR out of Enthea Teahouse. We are building on that legacy by creating a Lawrenceville, GA chapter.
Steve Odell, the owner of Enthea and proprietor of small batch, farm and garden-direct teas though his international tea distribution label Rabbit’s Moon Tea Arts, has been traveling to China directly for the last thirteen years, working with family farms in the tea mountains procuring quality tea leaf to share in tea experiences back home.
Through a desire to bring people together with tea here Stateside as well as a desire to promote more alcohol-free nightlife culture through tea, SpeakTeasy was born.
SpeakTeasy’s ethos is “inclusivity through tea,” where everyone is welcome at the tea table to have a voice in the community conversation where tea service may act as a catalyst for deeper conversation.
