Join us for a two day Relateful immersion nestled among the trees, mountains and rivers of the Pacific Northwest in beautiful Hood River, OR. We’ll use nature as our setting, inspiration and guide as we dive into the practice of Relatefulness, exploring our relationships to ourselves and others as well as the natural world. Part nature retreat and part Relateful immersion, this unique experience will incorporate local nature excursions into each day as a way to integrate and expand our awareness. Finalized schedule to come but expect 2-3 hours outside in nature each day with optional local excursions and 5-6+ hours diving into Relatefulness.
Relatefulness
Relatefulness is an activity where people hang out and see what it’s like to be real together. We test drive the theory that the world would be a better place if everyone behaved true to their inner wisdom, love, intuition, and care.
Do you ever wish you could just be real with people? Like the next time someone says, “Hi, how are you?” you could actually say, “I’m exhausted and lonely.” And then what if they wanted to hear more?
Do you ever wish other people would just be real with you? Like instead of your connections just drifting apart, they reached out and said, “Hey, I’m not responding to your ideas for hanging out because they always involve drinking and that’s just not how I want to spend my free time. Are you interested in going on a walk with me instead?”
What about belonging? People used to feel a sense of tribe with their families and the people at their religious organization. But now as so many of us move away from family for education and jobs, work remotely, and aren’t involved in organized religion, opportunities to feel included in a group of people are scarce.
In the Relatefulness practice:
• Conflict happens in healthier and more successful ways
• A sense of connection is more accessible
• Communication skills grow.
Relatefulness is practiced by thousands of people all over the world. There’s an online platform with about 8 sessions a day, and there are local communities with regular sessions in Austin, Los Angeles, Tucson, London, and more.
Immersions
An immersion is a time for the same group of people to be together for two full days. We can get to know each other more deeply, build true connections, and explore a variety topics.
This Hood River immersion is designed to be a perfect starting place for anyone who has never tried Relatefulness before, starting with Fundamentals practices to build skills and widening into the deeper practice. This immersion will also be great for folks with more experience too, such as opportunities for folks in the facilitator training program to practice facilitation.
Activities
Inspired by the massive success of Relateful Camp, and the scenic beauty and recreation of Hood River, we’re incorporating outdoor activities into this immersion, all within a 5 -15 minute drive from the event venue. Final schedule to be shared but this may include local walks with views of Mt. Hood and Mt. Adams, a swim in the Hood River at Tucker Park, watersports or wading in the vast Columbia River, foraging for blackberries, or a bonfire in the woods.
Facilitators
This immersion will be facilitated by Annabeth Novitzki and Tristana Pirkl.
Tristana and Annabeth have been very dear friends for nearly a decade, and were in the core team that launched and grew Relateful Austin Studio, the only Relateful studio in the world. Collectively, they have led many immersions, workshops and session. This will be their first time getting to lead an immersion together!
Date & Time: September 21 and 22 from 10am - 6pm each day. There will be a lunch break and optional nature excursions during the day.
Location: The event venue will be at a private home with ample outdoor space. Please note that a friendly dog and cat live at the venue but can be secluded away from the group, if need be.
Cost: $295
