Lido Beach Authentic Relating Circle, by Ray Ballard, MD & Akasha J. Smith, PhD

Come join us in a facilitated circle where we will be delving into the present moment with fellow lovers of Truth, using principles of Authentic Relating.

Authentic Relating is a way of communicating which allows for authenticity (fully presenting one's own experience), and relationality (fully welcoming the experiences of others).
Circling is a practice of in-depth present moment group connection.

These 6 Practices of Authentic Relating lend themselves to communicating from a non-dual space and everywhere one would like deeper connection:
Welcome Everything
Assume Nothing
Reveal Your Experience
Own Your Experience
Honor Self and Other
Favor the Present Moment

Please check back on the day of the gathering to confirm that weather has not required us to move indoors. If we are outside, Sid will be sitting on a large blue and white beach sheet toward the back of the beach, approximately fifty yards north of the pavilion. He will likely be wearing a beige hat (as in event photo) and accompanied by Shane, who is usually wearing black (in photo) , who may be playing his guitar, and our hosts Ray and Akasha (pictured wearing hat)
