Join us for an Authentic Relating Games Night!

Authentic Relating Games is an opportunity to start your year with family and friends (some familiar, some new perhaps) in our container of playful curiosity and discovery of one another’s humanity. We will be meeting in person at the Hintonburg Community Centre at 1064 Wellington Street West – in the Wellington Room on the ground floor.

Learn powerful communication tools that have already transformed the lives of thousands of people who have experienced Authentic Relating Games around the world. 

At Authentic Relating Ottawa we go WAAAAAAY above and beyond the same old boring or awkward conversations and teach people the communication skills that lead to deeply fulfilling relationships in all areas of our lives. 

There is a way to build any skill, and it’s called PRACTICE. That’s where the Laboratory for Living comes in. We practice conscious communication skills that are the foundation for every relationship in life! In a playful and empowering way.

Our IN PERSON Authentic Relating Games Afternoon will begin at 7pm (please arrive by 6:45pm to register and get settled) and will end by 10pm. We close the doors by 7:15pm in order to co-create a brave & kind space free from distraction, so please plan to arrive ahead of time.

We’ve been hosting Authentic Relating Games Nights for almost eight years and be it in person or online ONE THING IS FOR CERTAIN:

Connection happens!*

*Deeply rewarding connection.

*The kind where you feel seen and heard and deeply valued.

*The kind of connection where you don’t feel so alone in your thoughts and emotions.

*The kind where you get to be exactly as you are and no need to pretend to be something that you’re not!

*The kind of connection where anything from tears to laughter and fear to love has space to arise.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Authentic Relating Games Nights?

The short answer: empathy in action.

The long answer: Expertly facilitated highly-interactive exercises that explore new ways of communicating, perceiving, being with, and appreciating each other on a deeper (and more rewarding!) level.

By ‘games’ we mean fun, highly interactive partner and group exercises that demonstrate and explore authentic relating, getting to know yourself better while at the same time learning to see and appreciate more about everyone you connect with.

By ‘authentic’ we mean that there is no cookie-cutter mold for how you “should” be or what relating “should look like”. Everyone is a complete universe unto themselves, has a unique style, personality, and integrity that is perfectly *them*, and everyone is perfect and amazing as they are (including their belief that they aren’t.)

If you’re joining us for an in-person Authentic Relating Games we encourage you to arrive early (to find parking and get settled before we begin). We close the doors by 15 minutes past the event time and do not allow late arrivals in order to co-create a brave & kind space free from distraction, so please plan to arrive ahead of time.

If you’re joining us for an online version of Authentic Relating Games please arrive a few minutes early to ensure your tech and video setting is in working order). Again, we do not allow for late arrivals in order to co-create a brave & kind space free from distraction, so please arrive ahead of, or on time.
