☯︎ AUTHENTIC RELATING TRAINING (ART) | LEVEL 1: FOUNDATIONS
A weekend immersion into the practices of Authentic Relating

Imagine…
Being yourself and speaking your truth at any moment in your life.
Having grace under fire in times of discomfort, conflict, or stress.
Building connections and relationships that are resilient and designed to last.

Welcome to ART Level 1: Foundations. This course has been widely called the most effective and transformational relational training in our participant’s lives.


☯︎ WHAT IS AUTHENTIC RELATING TRAINING?
Our Authentic Relating Training Level 1: Foundations is a course that helps refine communication skills and deepen human connections across all social contexts. From the workplace to the living room, from strangers to partners, and everyone in between.
The practices are designed to be as accessible, adaptable, and engaging as possible, so you can apply your new skills to your life right away, with immediate results.
This is not a lecture or seminar—it is a deep dive full-immersion training that emphasizes interactive and experiential learning. It will leave you enlivened, heart and mind-opened, and deeply connected to yourself and others.
This course is truly for everyone wanting better relationships, no matter your level of prior experience or training.

𓄼 WHAT OUR PARTICIPANTS HAVE TO SAY
❝ Authentic Relating is such a simple, effective, yet totally radical practice of how to be human together. The practice feels supportive of what I want most in life, to be deeply connected with other people. And it really challenges my relational survival strategies, and brings me right to my edge of what I’m willing to be with, to feel, to reveal. ❞

- A deep understanding of the dignity of speaking your authentic voice, and the humility of using your eyes and ears to pay attention to, and learn from, the people and world around you

- A restored connection to genuine, childlike curiosity, and a perspective that sees the world with awe and wonder
