Exploring Authentic Relating [Darlinghurst, Sydney]

A FUN & FASCINATING AUTHENTIC RELATING (A.R.) SOCIAL EVENT

• Facilitated, collaborative, un-pressured, experiential explorations and reflections in pairs and small groups. 
• Self-discovery, expanding natural relating skills & supporting conscious community.
• Not a 'class'. An interactive A.R. Social in the alchemy of human resonance, and really 'meeting' yourself and others.
• Being seen, felt, & accepted in ways that are natural and empowered, yet often just not regularly available in our culture.

* Please Note: There is no entry to this event beyond 15 minutes after start time.

----------------------

People attend for many reasons:

• It feels amazing to really engage with others more deeply and richly in a collaborative and supportive ways.
• To upgrade natural fluency in presence, intuition, boundaries, and relating abilities and confidence. (Yes all these can be learned, just like any skills.)
• For deeper insights into the essence of who we truly are. Many folk tell us that A.R. assisted them to drop old patterns, conditioned habits & limitations.

PART OF THE REFLECTED SELF WEEKEND

This is a stand-alone workshop that can be attended all by itself. It is also part of the full weekend workshop 'The Reflected Self', which is a blend of Authentic Relating & 5Rhythms dance. You can find out more details on that larger weekend here: https://northcoastauthentics.com/reflected-self-2
That larger workshop has limited tickets open just to attend the Friday evening, so if you can't manage the whole weekend - it may be possible to attend both evenings.

A.R. is an internationally-established field of conscious relating skills. Developed in the 1990s in the US, and soon reaching Europe, there are now numerous A.R. community movements across the world. Here's a great demonstration video of one of the many kinds of games we offer. This video is from Authentic Revolution in the USA: https://youtu.be/fOI0Pb8j0ys

NCAE Facilitators: 
NCAE arose from the Melbourne group that pioneered A.R. in Australia 2006-2022. We hold a collaborative space. Our approach is grounded and supportive, and very 'human'. Yes, we have a lot of experience, but are also just on the path like anyone else.

No Perfectionist Expectations:
A.R. works best as a curious exploration, not by trying hard to be really good at exercises. These are all learning environments, and being able to be basically empathic and present is far more important than quickly having high skill or confidence.

What Authentic Relating (and this event) ISN'T:

This isn't therapy: It's not about trying to 'fix' or classify anyone. A.R. can be very helpful in processing challenges or trauma-residue, but that happens organically. A.R. isn't suitable for people who aren't comfortable to see deeper edges of themselves or others.

There's no 'System' to 'be perfect at': Using these frameworks, people are supported to tap into their own resources. We don't tell anyone 'how to be'.

Non-Hierarchical Space: The facilitators have explored these realms in depth, so have a lot of practical life experience in many elements of A.R., and are fluent in facilitating and holding space. Yet there are also many areas in which we too are still facing our challenging edges. We honor every individual's incredibly different human journey, and hold space in circle (not 'front of house'), so that everyone is part of the process.
