**Join us for a grounded, body-centered journey into Authentic Relating — where presence, sensation, and self-awareness guide our connections.** Communication extends far beyond speaking and listening. It is a dynamic interplay of verbal and nonverbal expression that shapes how we experience one another. Facial expressions, tone of voice, posture, gestures, and eye contact all influence how messages are received and interpreted. These subtle cues often reveal emotions, attitudes, and intentions — deeply impacting trust, safety, and connection. Embodiment cannot be understood purely on a conceptual level. It is something we experience. Through guided Authentic Relating practices, we will reconnect with our bodies and deepen our awareness of what is happening within us moment to moment. We will practice noticing and expressing our physical sensations and lived experiences in real time — building language for what we feel in our bodies and learning how to communicate it with clarity and authenticity. This immersive experience will include music and movement to support exploration of energy, presence, and connection. Participants will be invited to tune into their senses, engage physically, and allow music to guide expression and relational awareness. **Theme:** Energy + Movement **Recommended Attire:** Comfortable clothing and shoes that allow for ease of movement. Mike is a certified Authentic Relating facilitator through ART International. He has been facilitating Authentic Relating and Nonviolent Communication practices for several years and is passionate about creating meaningful, transformative connections. He looks forward to guiding you through exercises designed to positively impact your relationships and your life.
