Schedule
Sat Oct 11 2025 at 10:00 am to 05:00 pm
UTC+02:00Location
Bodhispace | Berlin, BE
Think you know everything about your partner? This workshop will show you there's even more to discover.This is not couples therapy, but rather an opportunity to deepen & strengthen communication skills with your loved one AND have some fun along the way 😃
Whether you've just started dating or been married for years, I invite you to gather together for this full day Authentic Relating workshop designed specifically for romantic relationships to cultivate the trust, empathy, empowerment and nourishment that is possible within the unique specimen of your togetherness.
As a couple among couples, you will journey through a series of Authentic Relating & Conscious Touch exercises that will give you the opportunity to play as well as deepen your relationship. There will also be a Yin Yoga session after lunch to help you reground for the afternoon.
By the end of this workshop, you will understand one another's perspectives even better, encouraging you to respond more effectively to their needs as well as yours.
❤️🔥Authentic Relating is a ground breaking social technology that enables you to heartfully, playfully and courageously connect, using the tools of radical honesty and active listening. The practice invites you to drop deeper into presence, embodied awareness and permission to express whatever is alive within you and the ‘we-space’ between you and other(s).
💆Conscious Touch is the practice of bringing full attention and presence into relating physically to another person. In deeper awareness of our desires and boundaries, we will explore the co-regulating potential of loving touch.
🕉️ Yin Yoga focuses on deeply relaxing the nervous system, by bringing fresh life force (prana) to your connective tissue and vital organs. Through deep stretches, long holds, and mindful breathing, your body is given permission to fully release any tension that has accumulated over time.
💕 This workshop is open to all couples: opposite-sex, same-sex, nonbinary, monogamous, polyamorous, and more.
Come level up your date day, or spend a romantic weekend in Berlin doing something playful, nourishing & supportive to help your relationship flourish!
About the facilitator:
Laurie King
I'm Laurie (he/him), a queer British-Kiwi whose current home-base is Wellington, New Zealand. My passion is creating spaces that cultivate healthy, thriving human-to-human relationships, helping people take off their masks, feel their sensations and celebrate their aliveness on Earth. With a background in the Vipassana meditation method, I strive to bring deeper awareness into all areas of life, especially the interpersonal.
Since 2019, I have organised and facilitated hundreds of Authentic Relating, Dating and Embodiment workshops in Oceania and Europe. My training includes Authentic Revolution, The Embody Lab, World Peace Yoga School, the Connection Institute, ISTA and Body Electric. I have facilitated at internationally acclaimed festivals such as Stretch and Ignite and organisations such as ART International.
I have also completed 250 hours of Yoga Teacher Training (specialising in Yin & Hatha yoga) in Rishikesh, India, and am registered with the Yoga Alliance. My sessions are lovingly curated to blend the embodied with the spiritual.
I am also a Holistic Coach, supporting you to step into the life you truly want, in alignment with your core values and embodied wisdom.
My experience includes working with Highly Sensitive People (HSPs); neurodiverse people; people suffering from anxiety and depression; people going through major life shifts; and members of the LGBTQ+ community.

My workshops have already touched & impacted many lives across Oceania, Europe & the US. Here's what others have shared:
"This workshop was a game changer for me. I'm blown away on a daily basis as to how easy communicating and relating has been since doing Laurie's incredible workshop" - Andy, Auckland
"We easily forget about 'us' in the normal rush of life, and we'd never spent a whole day just working on our relationship. Through participating we learnt a number of tools to improve our communication. The workshop really helped us to connect on a deeper level" - Erik, Amsterdam
“I love Laurie’s energy, wisdom, execution and light touch” - Tess, Berlin
"Thank you so much for the wonderful evening and pictures. It is still resonating through me and it helped us find a new dimension in our relationship. It was our first date together in 7 months, since the birth of our daughter, and I couldn’t have thought of something more connecting meaningful and fun!" - Justine, Utrecht
“The exercises allowed me to center myself in heartspace - free to be held by others in love and in my own experience while also able to hold them in their experience. As such, it’s a perfect space for co-regulating. The experience was so nurturing I forgot to eat dinner - and I wasn’t even hungry!” - Justin, San Francisco
"I live with complex PTSD and anxiety so in the past I have really struggled to open up to people and build meaningful connections. Discovering these workshops has been a life changer and both my therapist and I are thrilled with how my confidence has blossomed in recent months. Laurie's time and generosity really means the world to me" - Sarah, Wellington
