Authentic Connection - Intermediate Series #3

In this 4 sessions weekly Intermediate Series, Be Touched Founders Nicole & Wies will take you on a transformative journey through guided exercises and group sharing. Together, we will build trust, deepen connections, and gain a profound understanding of the art of being present with one another. By embracing and expressing more of our authentic selves, we create a safe and nurturing space for genuine connections.

Every session has a specific theme. We ask/recommend that you have experience with Authentic Relating: either by having participated in 2-day The Level 1 Training (next one April 5th & 6th), and/or have been to one or more of our Primary workshops (next one April 2nd), and/or have gained experience elsewhere. If in doubt, reach out to us.

THEME SESSION 3: REVEAL & OWN YOUR EXPERIENCE
Reveal Your Experience
Revealing ourselves is a way of being seen and known for who we are. It is a willingness to come out of hiding, to take the mask off, to let the guard down, and be vulnerable and available for human connection
Practice: Hide nothing, be vulnerable, invite others into your world, make the implicit - the unspoken, unexpressed, undeclared, unstated, unacknowledged - explicit, stated clearly and in detail, leaving no room for confusion or doubt. Make the unconscious conscious. Let yourself be seen and known
Outcome: More trust, intimacy, connection

Own your Experience
When we make other people and circumstances the source of our experience, we give our power away. Owning your experience, finding the source of it inside of yourself, gives you power back, so you can change/evolve/grow. Nothing needs to change in the external world when you own your experience
Practice: Take responsibility for your own experience. Whatever experience you’re having, it’s yours and yours only. Explore it, find the source of it, let it guide you into knowing yourself as deeply and fully as possible
Outcome: Self-awareness, power, transformation to higher self

Session 1: Tue April 9th
Session 2: Tue April 16th
Session 3: Tue April 23th
Session 4: Tue April 30th

WHY AUTHENTIC RELATING?
Authentic Relating (AR) is a powerful practice that enables deep, meaningful, and soulful conversations with anyone, anywhere, at any time. By learning the foundational principles and building blocks of AR, we equip ourselves with essential tools for conscious communication and enriching connections. This practice aligns us with our deepest emotions and enables us to weave a more authentic and truthful human experience.

Authentic Relating challenges us to break free from unconscious patterns and become fully awake and aware of how we show up in the world.

Through this practice:

We learn to make the implicit explicit.
We develop the skills needed for ultimate self-expression.
We welcome and embrace all aspects of ourselves, creating space for greater acceptance of the world around us.
We courageously explore vulnerability, stepping beyond our comfort zones along our transformative journey.
We cultivate the art of empathy and develop the essential skills to truly be present with ourselves and others.
We deepen our self-awareness and attunement to the present moment.
Purchasing a ticket ensures your place within our circle, granting you access to transformative workshops in a beautiful space, nourishing snacks, and unlimited tea.

Don't just take our word for it, here's what others have experienced:

"I thoroughly enjoyed this evening. Despite arriving with low energy, I left feeling both energized and grounded. The people I met were wonderful, and the setup of the evening was perfect. The facilitators created a warm and safe space. I will definitely be coming back for more."

"I loved every moment of it. We made beautiful new connections through amazing practices. The facilitation was excellent. I would attend again without hesitation."

"The facilitators are highly skilled, warm-hearted, and genuine. They truly care for each participant, creating an incredibly safe space. I was quite nervous at first, but their care and guidance allowed me to ease into the various games and exercises naturally. I left feeling nourished and deeply connected to myself and others."
