About this Event

Hi and Welcome to a Space for Authentic Connection!

Step into a transformative space where masks fall away and true connection begins.

In this 4-hour Authentic Relating Experience, we’ll explore the many layers of self: physical, emotional, mental, energetic, and subtle through guided practices, deep reflection, and playful interaction.

Authentic Relating is about practising showing up as your whole, genuine self.

It’s the art of speaking truthfully, listening deeply, and building relationships rooted in honesty, empathy, and mutual respect. Together, we’ll explore how vulnerability and presence can transform discomfort into trust, intimacy, and freedom.


WHAT YOU MAY EXPRIENCE:


  • Practices to connect more deeply with yourself and others
  • Tools to build trust and intimacy through honesty and presence
  • A contained space to release masks and explore authentic self-expression
  • A supportive community of fellow explorers on the path of real connection


This is not just a workshop, it’s a journey into the heart of being human, where discomfort becomes the gateway to growth and authenticity becomes the bridge to true belonging.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

Our time together will move in a rhythm between openness and introspection, supporting personal reflection, relational depth, and organic connection. Our practices vary between working in pairs, small groups, and as a full circle, inviting you to experience different dynamics of connection.

There will also be time set aside for tea and casual conversations, providing space to unwind and chat in a relaxed setting. Door open at 11:50 please arrive on time to allow time to settle in and honour the flow of the group. If you are late we may ask you to wait to the end of the activity.


Is This for You? Our sessions are open to both newcomers and those experienced in Authentic Relating. However, this can be an intense process for some, requiring curiosity and openness to explore and share personal experiences with others. Please note that there is no obligation to participate in any activities; it is your choice. We ensure a respectful space where everyone is treated without judgment, allowing open and honest expression.
