Relatefulness is a set of practices aiming at truth and love and greater awareness. People come together and relate, mindfully. We talk about what’s present in us, and between us. And we let that change us.
This practice was born from the lineages of Circling & Authentic Relating, A Course in Miracles, Integral Theory, and Tantric philosophy. As a transformational modality, Relatefulness includes and transcends personal experience & interpersonal relating, presence & embodiment, spirituality & secularism.
While Relateful Circles are not a “safe space”, they are a space where you can explore your relationship to safety. These circles are a curious space and an honest space and a caring space and a self-responsible space.
Relateful Circles are explicitly not therapy, though many people experience growth and healing through regular practice. And, paradoxically, the more people try to heal in Relateful Circles, the less they actually heal! The growth comes from greater awareness, and the awareness comes from slowing down and staying with our experience exactly as it is (which can include our experience of wanting the present moment to be different!)
Relatefulness is not for everyone! Your places of wounding are welcome – and – you will be invited to hold yourself and bring awareness to your nervous system while staying in connection with other humans. Most of the time, these humans will be caring and compassionate around your wounds – and – we’re all “only human.” As the facilitator, I’ll always do my best to remain grounded, to regulate my nervous system whereby you can co-regulate yours, and above all, to keep us focused on the present moment experience of what’s arising in ourselves, in each other, and in the co-created space between us.
This offering will begin as a regular weekly practice; dates, times & location to be determined. Contact me below if you’d like to stay updated about Relateful Gabriola offerings.
