Relational Play Lab! Art of REPAIR Series: Authentic Relating, Somatic Practices, Improve Games, Restorative Intimacy
Relational Play Lab is a playful, embodied series designed to build relational and repair skills.
This a great place to meet more of the community, make new friends, and create lasting bonds with people who value embodied relating, laughter, and meaningful connection.
Through improv-style relational games, authentic relating, circling, and somatic practices, you’ll learn how to stay present when things get uncomfortable, listen without fixing, and repair in ways that actually restore trust.
Expect laughter, awkwardness, insight, and surprisingly deep moments and get ready for super sacred seriously silly shenanigans.
In our play lab you’ll expand your capacity to slow down, stay connected under pressure, name impact without blame, and find your way back to connection, all while laughing, moving, and experimenting together.
Relational skills do not have to be heavy to be effective. In fact, play is what helps them land.
Most of us were never taught effective relational or repair skills. So let’s learn & practice together. We learn best when our nervous systems are relaxed and through repetition. Think of it as a practice gym for relating. It’s time to hit the relational gym and do some reps!

What is The Art of REPAIR series all about?
The Art of REPAIR series combines the Art of REPAIR methodology with our Relational Play Lab. Rather than just learning repair skills conceptually, we practice them live through relational play.
The Art of REPAIR is a six-step framework for transforming rupture into reconnection with more ease, clarity, and structure. Each week focuses on one step of the process, and the play lab is intentionally designed around that theme.
For example, we begin with Resourcing, the ability to regulate your nervous system so you can approach repair from a more grounded state. Each week builds on the next, allowing skills to integrate through repetition, play, and real relational practice.
