Authentic Relating for Self-Liberation

A monthly gathering in Orlando to practice the inner work behind the kind of authenticity that brings people closer

Most of us are yearning for the kind of connection where we feel seen without being treated like our discomfort needs to be fixed or solved. And yet we struggle to stay deeply present without jumping in to “help” when someone else expresses discomfort.

We long for a close-knit community of people who lean on each other for support, and at the same time, we struggle to ask for help without feeling like a burden.

We want to stay collaborative through conflict. To disagree and still feel close. And yet we struggle to stay soft when things get heated, speaking from defensiveness or smoothing it over before it's resolved.

We tend to blame ourselves for these patterns, but they were installed by systems that profit from our isolation and our compliance. Therapy and journaling can take us only so far on our own, because the skills we're missing are relational… we need other people to practice with. This series is a place to practice the skills that let us stay in connection, speak our truth with softness and clarity, and support each other.

Each gathering is a structured space designed to create safety in authentic vulnerability: paired shares, group reflection, and Authentic Relating activities (honest, in-the-moment connection, practiced on purpose). We draw on Nonviolent Communication, Internal Family Systems (parts work), and embodiment alongside it.

Everyone is welcome, no experience necessary. Come monthly or drop in as you like.
