Fundamentals of Authentic Relating - In Tension with Others

Learn how to reduce the likelihood of tensions creeping in and the skills to stay in connection when navigating conflicts WORKSHOP It’s easy to feel connected when everything is smooth. But the real test is when there is tension – when something feels off, when boundaries are crossed, or when conflict arises. Instead of creating distance by avoiding these moments or pushing through them, this workshop is an invitation to stay relational while navigating friction. You will learn tools to reduce the likelihood of tensions creeping in and the skills to stay in connection when navigating conflicts, so your relationships are resilient, honest, and capable of repair. Through structured activities, we will experiment with how to: • Become aware of the contexts we operate in • Limit misunderstandings or unmet expectations that lead to disappointment. • Offer feedback in a way that builds trust • Stay grounded when someone is impacted by us or coming with a charge • Navigate our own triggers without collapsing or attacking • Repair connection after a rupture FUNDAMENTALS OF AUTHENTIC RELATING Fundamentals of Authentic Relating (AR) is a monthly workshop series to learn and practice Authentic Relating.
