About the event

Beyond Small Talk | A Community Gathering for Authentic Connection
Curious about deeper connection and more authentic communication? Join us for a playful and interactive introduction to Authentic Relating (AR) and ARE (Authentic Relating Experience). This open day is a safe and welcoming space to explore self-awareness, practice relational skills, and connect with like-minded people.

What’s in store:

Connect & Play: Meet others through fun, interactive exercises and games.
Learn & Explore: Experience both structured AR activities and spontaneous ARE interactions.
Reflect & Integrate: Share insights, practice new skills, and leave with practical tools to bring into your everyday life.
Community & Connection: Build genuine relationships in a supportive, playful environment.
Whether you’re completely new to AR/ARE or just curious to explore, this event offers a warm, engaging space to discover new ways of relating—and maybe even make lasting connections!



Is This For You?

This workshop is for you if you’re longing for:

More meaningful connections
A kinder, more grounded relationship with yourself
A break from performing, fixing, or holding it all together
A community space where honesty is normal.

Come as you are, bring your curiosity, and leave inspired. No experience is needed, just openness, and a willingness to meet yourself with compassion. Hot drinks, snacks, and a gentle atmosphere of honesty and presence await you.
