Are you wanting more depth in your connections? Tired of having unfulfilling friendships?

Do you want to pivot from loneliness to feeling a part of a community?

You are invited to take a deep breath and to remove the various masks you may hide behind. This is an event where you are highly encouraged to communicate authentically whatever comes up for you in the moment as you’re guided through various interpersonal games with heart-centered strangers.

The value of attending Authentic Speed Friendships is to learn how to have deeper relationships with those who already matter to you and if you show up vulnerably, I can guarantee that you'll walk away with new friends and tools to water those friendship gardens that you are cultivating and nurturing!

This is a drug and alcohol free event. Event is guaranteed to create feelings. I can’t guarantee what those feelings will be.

Facilitators:

Infinity Nguyen is a facilitator for Authentic Bay Area. She is also a certified massage therapist, somatic coach, and embodiment guide who is passionate about creating containers where the full spectrum of human emotion can be expressed. She loves to facilitate events where people can connect authentically, vulnerably, and playfully by practicing the arts of deep listening and embodied presence, first with themselves and then with others. Her signature offering, Pleasure Alchemy, has now been shared across multiple venues on the Big Island of Hawaii, in the SF Bay Area, at Burning Man, and in St. Pete, Florida. Her approach to facilitation has been deeply influenced by over a decade of learning and practice in somatic psychology, nervous system repatterning, conscious communication, authentic relating, dance therapy, and contact improvisation.

Dakota Quackenbush is the founder of Authentic Bay Area. She has been taking up space in the Authentic Relating world for the last 5+ years. Her background working in addiction and mental health already had her rooted in vulnerability, depth, and analyzing social dynamics when she found AR. Once discovered, she quickly began incorporating this technology into her everyday living. She is actively researching Authentic Relating’s Impact on Social Emotional Skills in Intrapersonal and Interpersonal Relationships. Her focus in life is reducing the stigma surrounding mental health and making authentic, vulnerable connections the norm. Dakota regularly closes her eyes to connect to her emotions and physical sensations. When she’s not facilitating connection, she can be found writing poetry or dancing any time a beat comes on.
