Conscious Relating Arts - Presence, Connection, Aliveness

Welcome to Conscious Relating Arts,

This group is an invitation to explore presence, connection, authenticity, and aliveness in relationship with others.

At the core of our work is Circling, Transformational Connection and Surrendered Leadership.

Circling is a relational practice often described as interpersonal meditation. Instead of focusing on the breath, we bring our attention to what is happening in the present moment between us—sensations, emotions, reactions, and impulses—and share our lived experience as it arises. In doing so, we create a space for honest connection, intimacy, and authentic self-expression.

Relational practices blend elements of presence practice, group dynamics, shadow work, and leadership development. The focus is on exploring what is, rather than what we think should be, and on noticing how we show up in relationship. The work can be vulnerable and at times edgy, and it is also deeply nourishing.

This group may be for you if you’re longing for more depth and realness in your life—both with others and with yourself—and if you’re curious about moving beyond quick-fix self-help into a lived, embodied exploration of relating.

Our events focus on embodied, experiential practices that help you:

• build relational awareness and emotional literacy
• stay present and connected without losing yourself
• increase capacity for intimacy and navigate this with clarity, care, and integrity

All events are highly experiential. You will practice concrete skills and leave with tools you can integrate directly into daily life.

We welcome people of all ages and backgrounds.

If you have any questions, feel free to message me on Meetup or Facebook.

Wishing you a beautiful day,

Ellen Waenink
