Authentic Relating and Circling | Reflect, Release and Revive

Connection is the energy between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued. Brené Brown

Reflect, Release, and Revive: End-of-Year Authentic Relating Experience

As we approach the close of 2024, join us in a unique, Authentic Relating experience designed to reflect on the year, release and revive the energy for new relational adventures in 2025. This immersive, four-hour journey will guide you through exercises in self-reflection, emotional connections, and future-focused intention-setting, all within a safe, supportive environment.

Through structured, meaningful and playful activities, we will guide you in an exploration of your inner world, let go of the old, and reawaken a sense of openness and possibility.

Roadmap for the Day and Purpose

Our journey will move between moments of outward openness and quiet introspection, creating a rhythm that supports both personal reflection and shared connection. This approach allows for deeper self-awareness, greater flow in interactions, and more meaningful integration of insights.

Key Themes

Bonding and Connection

Cultivate a sense of closeness and authentic connection through guided interactions to build mutual understanding and appreciation.

Communication

Practice active listening, clear expression, and non-verbal awareness to enhance your ability to communicate with authenticity and empathy.

Trust and Vulnerability

Explore the courage it takes to be vulnerable, fostering trust within a supportive environment that encourages you to open up and feel seen.

Honesty and Integration

Reflect on personal truths and integrate new awareness, aligning your internal world with your actions to create deeper relational harmony.

What to Expect

Each session offers a unique experience, yet the purpose remains the same: to deeply connect with ourselves and each other in an authentic way. Through engaging activities, games, and meaningful conversations, you’ll explore your inner world, discover the layers of others, and practice sharing openly and vulnerably.

Our practices vary between working in pairs, small groups, and as a full circle, inviting you to experience different dynamics of connection. Authentic Relating is a skill for all relationships—whether romantic, professional, or familial—and, most importantly, for how we relate to ourselves.

There will also be time set aside for tea and casual conversations, providing space to unwind and chat in a relaxed setting.

Benefits

• Cultivate confidence in your inner world
• Discover new and valuable communication skills
• Learn to sit with discomfort to create deeper connections
• Experience meaningful relationships that feel natural and effortless
• Enjoy the freedom to truly be yourself with others

Is This for You?

Our sessions are open to both newcomers and those experienced in Authentic Relating. However, this can be an intense process, requiring courage to explore and share personal experiences with others. Emotions and sensations that may arise could feel unfamiliar or challenging, as we delve into areas we often avoid in daily life.

We ensure a safe, respectful space where everyone is treated with warmth and without judgment, allowing open and honest expression. If this experience sounds potentially overwhelming or if you have significant emotional challenges, please consider reaching out to us before enrolling.
