Have you ever had an interaction with another human being in which you felt seen, heard and able to be your true self? What you probably experienced was Authentic Relating.

Authentic Relating is the practice of acting and speaking from a place of presence and wholeness, allowing us to be in alignment with our feelings and weave a more rich and truthful human experience.

You are invited to this 3 day ‘interpersonal meditation’ retreat designed to safely explore your vulnerability in awareness of your boundaries and curiosities.

Through a series of meditation, movement and somatic practices woven into Authentic Relating exercises you will have the chance to develop embodiment and communication skills, strengthening a deeper connection to yourself and others.

About the facilitators:

Laurie King
An experienced space holder originating from the UK, I have a deep passion for bringing people together in safe, warm, supportive environments. I recognise how fundamental connection is to contentment and well being.

Amy Richards
I am passionate about facilitating others in connecting more deeply with themselves through use of movement, breath and embodiment practices. The practices I most enjoy sharing are those that cultivate a sense of grounded-ness, curiosity and ease. I believe that knowing and inhabiting our bodies is central to understanding and enriching our relationships with ourselves and others. With a background in mindfulness and yoga, I completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training at Gertrude St Yoga in Melbourne in 2017. And since I have also trained in Embodied Flow Yin Yoga and Embodied Flow Somatic Movement Therapy.
