Circling & Authentic Relating Night at Empathic Practice Hosted by Alistair McKenzie
About this Event

Have you ever walked away from a conversation wondering if anyone really saw you? Or found yourself stuck in small talk, craving something that actually means something?

Circling and Authentic Relating offer a different kind of dialogue - one that doesn't skim the surface but goes straight to the beating heart of human connection. It's like discovering a new language -one built on presence, honesty, and the quiet thrill of being real with other people.

These practices blend ancient wisdom and modern insight into a living, breathing experience of connection. Authentic Relating invites you into games and prompts that make you more aware of how you relate - what you're really feeling, how you're really listening, and what it's like to speak from a place of truth. Circling takes that even further: it's a kind of relational meditation, where the group slows down to explore the present moment together with care, curiosity, and radical presence.

It's less about talking about life, and more about experiencing it - together. This isn't group therapy. And it's not a networking event. It's something in between and beyond - a night of shared exploration where the currency isn't status or performance, but attention and truth.

We'll slow down. We'll pay attention. And we'll practice bringing our full selves into connection - with nothing to fix, nothing to sell, and nowhere to get to except here.

What happens in a night like this? We'll guide you through simple but powerful exercises that wake up your awareness of what it's like to really be with another human being - and to let yourself be seen. Through eye-opening games, surprising insights, and the grounded practice of present-moment dialogue, you'll learn to listen more deeply, speak more honestly, and connect more meaningfully.

This is a space where you can drop the mask. Where even the awkward parts are welcome. Where your experience matters - not just to you, but to the people around you.

Why come?

  • Because you're tired of feeling like your conversations never get past the surface.
  • Because you want to know yourself better - and not just in your head, but through the mirror of relationship.
  • Because there's something strangely exhilarating about being real with people you just met.
  • And because (let's be honest) this is more fun than scrolling your phone again.

Come if you're curious. Come if you're skeptical. Come if you miss what it feels like to actually connect.

You don't need any experience. Just a willingness to be human.
