Authentic Thursdays with Rachel: From Masks to Essence—relating in what’s alive

What happens when we drop the story and meet in what’s true, here and now?

This week’s Authentic Relating night is a playful and powerful journey from surface-level connection to the deeper, juicier layers of self and other. Through guided meditation, embodiment, and interactive games, we’ll explore what it’s like to:

✨ Meet yourself beneath the masks—notice how you show up at first glance (and why)

✨ Give voice to the parts inside you that are often at odds

✨ Connect from presence rather than performance—relating in real time, without needing to fix or respond

What to expect:

💫 A guided meditation to connect with yourself and drop in

💫 An embodiment exercise to sense your energy with each person in the room

💫 A playful “Meet My Essence” game to explore initial layers of self-presentation

💫 A transformational “Parts Work in Dialogue” practice to witness your inner voices

💫 A grounding group closer with the sentence stem: “What’s happening right now is…”

This evening isn’t about sharing life stories or giving advice. It’s about practicing deep presence, curiosity, and meeting others in what’s alive—moment to moment.

Come solo or bring a friend. Leave feeling seen, connected, and more deeply attuned to yourself and others.
