Authentic Relating & Conscious Dating | Love Begins With You

“Connection is the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued.” — Brené Brown


Open to All — Singles, Couples & Everyone in Between

During Valentine’s month, we invite you to a transformative workshop designed to help you cultivate conscious love and build genuine, meaningful connections. Whether you’re single, dating, or in a relationship, this space welcomes anyone ready to deepen their relational awareness, strengthen communication, and explore authentic intimacy.

It’s also an opportunity to meet mindful, like-hearted people and explore the very real challenges of modern dating—the fears, the expectations, the patterns we fall into, and the barriers that keep us from experiencing the intimacy we long for.


Why This Workshop?

Authentic spaces where we can show up without masks or performance are rare. Many of us move through life carrying heavy expectations:

to find “the one,” to meet milestones, to fit into outdated ideas of love and relationships.

In the process, we may end up pretending, pleasing, performing, or hiding parts of ourselves.

Sometimes the fear drives us:

fear of being single…

fear of being in the wrong relationship…

fear of loneliness…

fear of repeating old patterns.

When we cling to old relational models—or try to mould ourselves into who we think we should be—we disconnect from our true selves… and from the kind of love that can only grow through authenticity.

This workshop is an invitation to break free from those constraints and explore connection rooted in truth, self-acceptance, and genuine presence.


Together, We Will Explore:

  • Modern dating challenges
  • Relational values & personal needs
  • Trigger points & emotional patterns
  • Dysfunctional relational cycles
  • Establishing healthy, fair boundaries
  • NVC (Non-Violent Communication)
  • Respectful, sacred, consensual touch


The Goal

Our aim is to create an open, supportive space where you can reflect honestly on past relational experiences and envision a healthier, more aligned future.

Through shared exploration and embodied practices, you’ll develop tools to release outdated beliefs—like the idea that you must “be different” to be loved—and reconnect with your own truth.

Before we can invite someone to love us, we must first learn to meet ourselves with compassion, respect, and presence.

Love begins with you.


Is This for You?

This workshop is more than a learning experience—it’s a chance to meet conscious, curious people and co-create a supportive community.

Whether you’re navigating dating, healing intimacy wounds, or wanting to enrich a current relationship, this space offers insights and practices that will support your journey.


The Invitation

Let’s move beyond performing love.

Let’s step into relationships built on truth, groundedness, and genuine care.

By releasing old patterns and embracing your authentic self, you transform not just how you connect—but who you become in connection.


What to Expect

Each session is unique, yet the intention remains the same:

to deepen connection with yourself and others through embodied practices, games, and meaningful conversations.

You’ll explore:

  • Pair work
  • Small group practices
  • Full-circle sharing
  • Vulnerability
  • Presence
  • Emotional honesty

Authentic Relating is a lifelong skill—valuable in romantic relationships, friendships, professional settings, family dynamics, and most importantly, in the relationship you have with yourself.

We also include time for tea, informal connection, and relaxed conversation.


Benefits

  • Build confidence in your emotional and relational world
  • Learn practical, embodied communication tools
  • Develop tolerance for discomfort and deepen intimacy
  • Experience connection that feels natural, real, and nourishing
  • Enjoy the freedom of being fully yourself in community
  • Use authentic relating to ease social anxiety


A Note on Intensity & Safety

This workshop is open to both newcomers and experienced practitioners.

The process can be emotionally powerful and may bring up feelings or sensations that are unfamiliar. We create a warm, respectful, judgment-free environment that supports honest expression—but it’s important you feel ready for this kind of inner exploration.

If you have concerns about the emotional intensity of the workshop or are navigating complex emotional challenges, please reach out to us beforehand. We’re here to ensure you feel supported.
