Level 1 – Embodiment Edition

WHAT IS AUTHENTIC RELATING TRAINING?
Our Authentic Relating Training level 1 is a unique and profound course that helps refine communication skills and deepen human connections across all social contexts. From the workplace to the living room, from strangers to partners and everyone in between.

This is not a lecture or seminar – it is a deep dive full-immersion training that emphasizes on embodied and experiential learning and will leave you enlivened, heart and mind-opened, and deeply connected to yourself and others.

This course is truly for everyone – no matter your level of prior experience or training.

Embodiment Edition - Course Description

If our lived experience happens through the body, then so does how we relate to ourselves, others and our environment. In this training we will delve into the infinite world of embodiment- of feeling deeply, moving freely and expressing openly. This course is for those who want depth, intimacy and aliveness in their relationships with themselves, others and the world. Each session will include an embodied meditation, movement explorations and of course, the heart of the ART material. 

WHY: Embodied Authentic Relating?

Because, authenticity (truth, wisdom, intuition) lives in the body. Relationship happens, body to body (as a meeting through our senses that all live in the body). We express through the body. Our gesture, posture, movement and tone amount to more than 80% of our communication, most of which is not in our conscious awareness. So if we want to be more real, more ourselves in relationship, if we want to learn to understand what others are sharing with us, and if we want to better understand what we are communicating versus what we want to be communicating- then it all begins with entering the landscape of the body.

HOW: A reclamation of presence

  • Resourcing and Anchoring- establishing inner and outer support to create a sense of safety for yourself (and others) so you can stay in your body and in the experience of the moment
  • Sensing- Remembering the language of the senses
  • Feeling- Staying with the freshly forming felt sense, tracking its movement within the body
  • Action- Moving authentic impulse out into the world through aligned action (could be in conversation with another etc)

How is this different from a "regular" authentic Relating Training

More movement, more conversation around non-verbal communication, and emphasizing the body’s expression as the authentic self.

Authentic Relating is such a simple, effective, yet totally radical practice of how to be human together. The practice feels supportive of what I want most in life, to be deeply connected with other people. And it really challenges my relational survival strategies, and brings me right to my edge of what I’m willing to be with, to feel, to reveal.
