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.)
