​Let's pass on the small talk, and get more present 🎁

​This is a cosy **English-speaking** gathering :)

(voor Nederlands, check Verbinden in het Moment 🌱)

**​*What can you expect ?***

​Imagine something **between** **fun social games** 🎈 and **meditation** 🧘

​Some games are playful and silly, while others go deeper.
​

​Together we'll create a warm, supportive environment where we all get to be ourselves, while also:

* ​Expanding **out of our comfort zone** 🌟
* ​Getting the opportunity to **build deep new friendships** 👯
* ​Practicing **becoming more authentic,** daring to say what is really true for us 🙊even when it's scary

​For this intro, I will guide you a lot, so if you're a bit nervous, don't worry, we got you! 🐣

​
​Here's a few things we practice with Authentic Relating games:

* ​Becoming more **curious** and less judgmental of ourselves and others 😯
* ​Becoming more **aware** of what's happening for us in the moment 👁
* ​**Revealing** what is happening for us 🦸
* ​Saying no, asserting our **boundaries** and preferences
* ​**Listening** (and being heard) deeply👂

​And just to be clear, this is **NOT a place to hunt for dates** 🙅‍♀️
​

​***About me***

​My name is **Abbygaelle** 👋 I’m 31 and became aware of Authentic Relating Games about 8 years ago while living in San Francisco. A game night was recommended o me by a close friend, as he was noticing how shy I was to connect with people 🙈

​I was nervous, but the concept seemed intriguing enough, so I gave it a go. I was so impressed by the simplicity and the profound effects of the exercises!

​Understanding that humans could create little practice grounds for authenticity together, was such a powerful insight for me.

Because let’s be honest, being ourselves out in the world can feel impossible, terrifying, and counter-productive a lot of the time!

​I was moved deeply by a whole subculture built around authentic expression, and kept deepening into AR and other relational practices such as NVC, Circling, Contact Improv, IFS…

​So I quickly decided to organize AR workshops for my friends, back in 2018, and eventually started spreading these beautiful practices wherever life would take me. Since then I’ve facilitated workshops and curated game nights for various intentional communities and families in the US, South America, Australia, Portugal, and now in my home country of Belgium :)
