Human Connection Lab for Families

Imagine playing social games that create a deeper knowing of oneself and each other with your family! Imagine a world where we freely identify and express our emotional landscape, identify our needs and ask for what we need/want. What is possible when we feel safe to express the truth of our experience, when we know our own yes and no from a young age? What is possible when we have deeply connected, trusting and intimate relationships with each other and our children? Come explore our humanness, how we relate, how we nourish, encourage and nurture through GAMES! Human Connection Lab for Families!

Cost: FREE for the first 10 families who sign up!

What to bring: your favorite cushion for sitting and a water bottle, your family and friends! Expect to move, laugh and play!

Expect to go deep, to challenge yourself, to laugh and to light(en) up! Hosted by Dr. Jennifer Love, DC

Dr. Jennifer Love, DC is passionate about discovering our greatest and most alive expression through chiropractic and fostering connection through community. She tends to the nervous system through light touch chiropractic to optimize function and therefore expression. She shares mindful, relational practices to foster deeper, more meaningful connection and help us feel more of our hearts. She practiced and assisted in the Solsara community for over 10 years, offered facilitation on a self-guided tour across the country, and draws on Authentic Relating Games, helping others to see and feel more of themselves, take bigger risks, and delight in true intimacy that is often missed in our fast-paced lives. She believes that intimacy in relating to one another is the medicine of our time. Our world lights up when we know ourselves deeply, share our essence, and witness others do the same. Jennifer lives in Portland, OR with her nine-year-old, Luca, and her partner, Jonathan Brinkley. Together they create community gatherings with a focus on intimacy in relationship. She is dedicated to co-creating a world in which adults and children can identify and freely express their emotional landscape.
