AUTHENTIC RELATING near Preston Park

This is a free event, and we truly value your presence. Please make sure that if you RSVP, you attend the meeting. If you cannot attend, please let us know, as it may affect the overall arrangement of the meeting.

What will we be doing?

During the meeting, I will propose a few topics for group discussion, and there will also be opportunities for 1:1 conversations with other attendees. The aim is to create a space to actively listen to others and express yourself authentically, free from judgment or pressure.

The beautiful tea house offers a variety of delicious tea, cakes, coffee and food. Please understand that it is a public coffee shop, and you may want to get a coffee or tea in exchange for the space.

This is not a dating opportunity but a mindful and dedicated space to connect with others. If you cross boundaries or behave in a way that is not acceptable, you will be asked to leave the group.

What is Authentic Relating?
Authentic Relating refers to practices that cultivate genuine connections, empathy, and understanding between people. It involves being present, honest, and vulnerable in interactions with others, and it often includes group or 1:1 discussions designed to deepen interpersonal connections.

Key principles of Authentic Relating include:

1. Presence: Being fully engaged and attentive in interactions without distractions or preconceptions.
2. Authenticity: Expressing oneself honestly and openly, without pretence or masks.
3. Empathy: Seeking to understand others' perspectives and experiences and demonstrating compassion and support.
4. Vulnerability: Willingness to share one's true feelings, thoughts, and experiences, even if they are uncomfortable or difficult.
5. Curiosity: Approaching interactions with an open mind and a genuine interest in learning about others.

Authentic Relating practices can take many forms, including dyadic exercises where participants take turns sharing and listening, group activities designed to foster connection and collaboration, and facilitated discussions on topics related to personal growth and interpersonal dynamics.

These practices are often used in various contexts, such as personal development workshops, therapy sessions, team-building activities, and community gatherings, to promote deeper connections, mutual understanding, and emotional well-being.
