Fundamentals of Authentic Relating - Self Expression

WORKSHOP

Being known, felt, and seen is a deep longing most of us have. 

Yet, revealing ourselves without blaming, withdrawing, or over‑explaining can be challenging and some things are left out of conversation - sensations, emotions, impulses and desires…

This workshop is about becoming more aware of what is happening inside us in real time when we engage with others, developing the communication skills, and finding the courage to speak from that place in a way that deepens connection.

Through a series of experiential games, we will explore how to bring more honesty, clarity and aliveness into relationships by:

• Revealing more of ourselves and the things we don’t normally share in different forms, and discover the impacts on us and on others
• Using the aliveness of the present moment
• Taking more ownership of our own experience
• Expressing ourselves in ways that brings closeness
• Reflecting on the meaning we make of words 

The workshop is mostly experiential. You can expect a mix of structured activities in pairs or small groups (55%), facilitated reflection time (30%) and teachings (15%).

We aim to foster a sense of connection, insight, and fun in/between participants.

After the workshop you will be emailed session notes (a summary of teachings, prompts for self reflection, suggestions for integration in daily life etc.)

FUNDAMENTALS OF AUTHENTIC RELATING
Fundamentals of Authentic Relating (AR) happens every 3rd Saturday of the month and tends to gather 15-20 people.

It’s for people who want to bring more awareness, honesty, and connection into their relationships.
Anyone curious about personal growth, wanting more ease and connection in their interactions, interested in improving their relational skills, or wishing to gain a formal understanding of AR frameworks and mechanics.

Sessions are themed and we’ll begin by exploring how to notice what is happening inside (Feb), followed by listening more deeply (Mar), developing curiosity (Apr), expressing oneself with clarity and courage (May), and navigating boundaries and conflict with care (June).
