About us

🕯️ Seekers of Authenticity
Relational Capacities • Mindfulness • Consciousness • Human Development

🔴 Please RSVP for events you plan to attend so we can maintain an intentional and workable group size for discussion and reflection.

This community explores the intersection of mindfulness, contemplative traditions, relational development, neuroscience, psychology, consciousness, and lived human experience.

While the Yamas and the Eight Limbs of Yoga are important influences within the group, our discussions are intentionally broader and more interdisciplinary.

Together we explore topics such as:

🧠 Mindfulness and conscious awareness
🫂 The Framework of Relational Capacities
🌱 Attachment, development, and emotional regulation
🔬 Cognitive science and neuroscience
🪞Reflection, mutuality, repair, and reciprocity
🌌 Consciousness, identity, and the nature of awareness
💭 The contents of the mind and counterproductive overthinking
❤️ Emotional discernment and interoceptive awareness
🕉️ Contemplative traditions and nondual perspectives
📖 Practical approaches to reducing unnecessary suffering and deepening connection

This group is designed for thoughtful, curious, psychologically minded people who want to explore not only ideas — but also the lived experience behind them.

Our discussions are often experiential, reflective, and exploratory rather than purely academic or performative.

The goal is not perfection, ideology, or dogma.

The goal is greater awareness, deeper understanding, increased relational capacity, and the development of practical skills that improve how we relate to ourselves, to others, and to the contents of our own minds.

✨ Some gatherings may include:
• Discussion and inquiry
• Reflective exercises
• Mindfulness practices
• Poetry and symbolic exploration
• Guest presenters
• Exploration of real-world relational dynamics

Attendance is intentionally limited for many events to support depth, safety, reflection, and genuine dialogue.

Warmly,
Cassi & Scott & Cristina
