🌀 Authentic Relating 🌀 Tuesday September 1st, 7pm ✨

Many people are navigating a lot right now—relationship challenges, uncertainty, and the weight of current events. This class offers a space to pause, reconnect, and experience something that can be deeply supportive during times like these: genuine human connection within the community and a touch of playfulness. .

This evening is for anyone curious about deeper connection, meaningful conversation, and playful community. Whether you’re brand new to Authentic Relating or already love connection games, you’re welcome here. Come solo or bring a friend: many people arrive not knowing anyone and leave feeling surprisingly connected.

Join us for a two-hour Authentic Relating Game Night where we’ll explore a series of simple, interactive connection games designed to spark laughter, curiosity, and real conversation.

Throughout the evening we’ll weave in some of the core practices of Authentic Relating in small groups, pairs, and one-on-one, creating a space where people can be genuine, present, and human with each other. Through lighthearted prompts and engaging group activities, we build trust, practice being real, and discover how fun it can be to meet each other beyond small talk. Expect a warm, welcoming atmosphere where laughter, insight, and new friendships naturally emerge.

Suggested contribution: $25

✨TEMPLES OF SOUND: SINGING MEDITATION🌀

TONIGHT! ✨ THURSDAY August 13 @ 7:00pm-8:30pm

Temples of Sound is a living sound practice where bodies, voices, and presence become temples. We will start with a singing meditation: Through breathwork, drumming, and shared instruments like shruti boxes and harmonium, participants co-create a practice that is not passive—everyone shapes the sound, everyone shapes the space. Healing begins as the nervous system calms, tension releases, and presence deepens.
