Relational Presence - Deepening Connection through Listening:

Conversations with another can provide us with the space to somehow glow more in our own essence, to feel more connected with our truths, and more connected with the world around us. We can feel that we are enhanced by being with another person.

This quality of listening and relational presence is a wonderful aspect of our humanness that we can offer each other. And yet, it can be quite rare to encounter in our world.

This 75-minute Relating Lab session will touch on some foundations of offering and sharing these kinds of relational experiences to another.

Grounding into how to be a fantastic listener. Truly being with someone. 
So that they might feel they can inhabit themselves even more deeply, express themselves more freely, and feel safe and connected in our conversation. 

It is also the foundation of any other relational skills or strategies - without this basic skill of relational presence and listening, things will generally not land fabulously for the other.

Learning the skills of this high-quality listening provides us with the ability to have far deeper conversations and connections with others; can help dissolve or soften interpersonal triggers and tensions, and feels deeply nourishing and connective for ourselves. We get to be instrumental in co-creating deeply satisfying encounters in our world.

These skills are learnable and built upon experientially, by practicing - especially in the supportive and reflective learning container where we can try out ways of being, hold a curious eye on how things unfold, and receive feedback from others.

In my experience, as our awareness grows in this relational domain, we can become more nourished by interactions with others, feel more ease in our listening, building our own self-connection, and we gain more choice and agency in how we relate.

The session will begin with a short, guided drop-in, followed by a longer practice in break-out rooms, and space for sharing and integration with the group.

*Bring along a topic you might like to explore more deeply for yourself, or gain some clarity around, to this session.

These sessions always include group debrief time, as it's in the reflection that we often integrate the learnings from practice. They are also an opportunity to share in the wisdom of one another.

Hope to see you there for a nourishing and connective authentic relating session.
