What is this!? What are Authentic Relating Games?
Authenticity is acting and speaking in alignment with our inner feelings, desires, and needs—our truth. Authentic Relating (AR) is the practice of bringing our truth into connection with others’, so that we can weave a more rich human experience.
Authentic Relating Games are an easy and fun way to introduce these practices into daily life. They can help us experience deeper connections, boost empathy, see the world through others’ eyes, and understand ourselves better so that we can enjoy life more. The games are fun, highly interactive partner and group exercises that demonstrate and explore AR, and getting to know yourself better while at the same time learning to see and appreciate more about everyone you connect with.
Authentic also means that there is no cookie-cutter mold for how you “should” be or what relating “should look like”. Everyone is a complete universe unto themselves, has a unique style, personality, and integrity that is perfectly them, and everyone is perfect and amazing as they are (including in their belief that they aren’t.)
The games provide a variety of experiences from movement, dance, communication, talk, listening…
Join us for a FUN night of connection! Be the Authentic YOU!
At a time when so many of us are disconnected within ourselves and to the world, authentically, joyfully connecting to others is a practice to reconnect our body, heart, mind and soul to a place where we know what our deepest desires are regarding love and life. It is a path to falling in love with yourself, discovering who you are and what your deepest joy is in the present moment. It’s about manifesting those dreams, goals and desires of what makes you come alive, awakening us to feeling the freedom and healing in ourselves.
The outer world is a reflection of the inner world. Everywhere you look, you see your inner condition reflected in your outer circumstances and especially in your relationships. Life is a dance of relationships. There is just no avoiding it. And no relationship is more important than the one to yourself.
Within the mundane, struggle, chaos, and beauty of this human journey, we get to remember that love is always present. The meaning of life is to learn how to love In every moment no matter what we might be experiencing. Love begins and ends with ourselves as we discover the eternal, exalted One within. As we live from that place, our life becomes a blessing to others and the whole world.
Through guided visualization, breath, sounds, and movement, we will energetically open in this safe and sacred space. Connecting with wonder, curiosity and awareness we will celebrate ourselves and our reflections.
All genders, bodies, and orientations welcome. Come as you are and have a great time!
we especially welcome trans, intersex, queer and other folks living anywhere within the spectrum – we recognize how hetero-normative spaces can be and aim to challenge this through our conversations and actions…
Love Exchange $60 ($50 early bird)

Trained as an authentic relating facilitator, he utilizes Integral Theory to create exercises in different practices acting, movement and intimacy. My innovation and penchant for levity creates a brave experiential container for people to blossom open, and deepen the relationship to self and others. Authentic Relating Games allow you to intimately know yourself and create a space for decentralized processing.
His intention is to show up authentically to create safety and permission for others to show up fully. My containers are for deep intimacy and growth. I believe when we locate and push against our edges, that is where the growth can happen.
