Have you ever felt your friendships, your partnerships, even your family relationships could be so much richer, more fulfilling, more inspiring?

 

Have you ever felt that only part of you gets seen in your everyday life and that there’s way more to you to be lived, experienced and appreciated? 

 

Would you like to learn how to become the centre of enriching connection in your own life, to experience profound aliveness, trust and intimacy, and learn how to bring this to others?

 Led by Sara Ness. 

  • Master essential emotional intelligence skills and watch your relationships flourish

 

  • Learn field-tested tools for transforming conflict into connection

 

  • Practice AR games and learn how to lead them with friends, in communities and relationships

 

  • Meet others and explore what it's like to be you within a welcoming community

LEARN ABOUT AUTHENTIC RELATING

We humans are wired for connection. Yet we often don’t know how to create it.

 

When we try to fix it by being someone other than who we are, we can end up right back at square one: uncomfortable and unfulfilled.

 

Once in a blue moon, it’s like the connection button somehow gets activated, and we have brilliant and fun experiences. We’re confident, vivacious, open, and conversation flows easily. We feel more connected and more ourselves than ever.

 

We might attribute that to the people we are with at the time, but these connection skills can be learned and practised deliberately.

This weekend-long Urban Retreat will be an expansive exploration of authentic communication, honest self-understanding, and a re-cognition of the we-space that’s created whenever humans are together that we call the relational field.

Bring valuable new skills into your everyday life

 

The retreat will help you bring Authentic Relating Games into the context of your real life and relationships, whether that be with your partner, your community, your team, or your family. This training is a step towards mastering your own leadership style and becoming a certified “Authentic Facilitator.”

“I discovered how important authentic human connection was to my soul. People I had just met provided profound reflections that revealed blind spots I had buried long ago. And I felt so energized by each day I had trouble sleeping at night.”

 

Nevin McConnell Engineer @ Apple

“Authentic Relating gave me a connection to what drives me from inside, a vocabulary to talk about it, and the courage to actually do it.”

Isaac Cohen

“It was a life-changing weekend....a training that changed me as a person to be able to help change the world. In short: go, learn, have fun, and be amazed.”
