The Authentic Relating Columbus group is a community made of diverse people that come together to share and support each other in growth, connection and love. Through the different practices and experiences, we expand our awareness, empathy, appreciation, and connection to each other.
Our meetups include Authentic Relating Games, closely related practices (circling), as well as purely social events (art/making, movies, museums, comedy, playful/active adventures, etc.)
Our pillar practice, Authentic Relating Games (AR Games) are a fun way to explore your sense of self, your connection to others, and communication techniques to improve your relationships with both.
Authentic Relating games range from fun icebreakers to deep challenging opportunities for personal and interpersonal growth.

The benefits of authentic Relating games are myriad. Sometimes they are specific tools or techniques to help navigate difficult scenarios and other times they are subtle states of mind that help form your perception in a more open, vulnerable, and humanistic way. The more you put into the games, the more you get out of them!

Although every games day can feel different due to a variety of variables, to get a feel for what an AR Games might feel like, you may want to read this article in the Atlantic:
