ARE is a mixed-method relational practice, blending:

  • Authentic Relating
  • Meditation & Awareness practices
  • Psychological insight
  • Embodied exercises

It’s about experiencing yourself in connection, in real time.


WHAT WE’LL DO

Each session is different, but you can expect a mix of:

  • 1:1 and group connection exercises
  • Guided meditations and grounding practices
  • Real-time communication and noticing
  • Embodiment and movement-based activities
  • Reflection and integration

You’ll be invited to notice

What happens when you slow down and pause and look at what’s happening in your body.

Find new ways to explore and express what you’re feeling

How you respond to others in the moment and dicover what parts of you are acting or reacting.


WHAT YOU’LL EXPERIENCE

We like to remain humble but we hope you will leave with:

  • A greater sense self-awareness.
  • More confidence in expressing yourself.
  • A deeper sense of connection with others
  • Insight into your relational patterns
  • The ability to respond more consciously, rather than react


WHO IT’S FOR

Open to anyone — no experience needed.

Whether you’re:

  • Curious about yourself and relationships
  • Wanting deeper connection
  • Working on communication or boundaries
  • Or simply looking for something different

You’re welcome as you are but please be aware that these workshops purposly lean into discomfot for growth. It is important to consider if this is right for you.


WHAT TO EXPECT

  • A safe, supportive, non-judgmental space
  • A small group (max ~20 people)
  • A balance of structure and spontaneity
  • Choice in how much you participate (everything is optional)
  • A mix of lightness, depth, and real human moments


WHAT IS AUTHENTIC RELATING?

Authentic Relating is the practice of being real —

with yourself and with others.

It’s about:

  • Speaking honestly
  • Listening deeply
  • Staying present in connection

And allowing what’s real to unfold, rather than performing or managing it.


WHY THIS IS DIFFERENT

Most spaces talk about connection.

This is a space to practice it.


FACILITATORS

We are Marcus & Maria.

These workshops grew from our own search for deeper, more meaningful relationships, and from the profound transformations we've experienced from Authentic Relating and decades of research in these fields.
