I invite you to an Intentional Practice where Love meets Truth.
·
We'll gather to expand our shared consciousness.
·
We'll attune to the emergent experience of being human, together.
·
We'll bring awareness to the unfolding dynamics within ourselves and between one another.

"That's very poetic Mercedes, but what the hell are you talking about?!?"
·
I'm talking about Relatefulness: a practice that brings together the discipline of mindfulness with the fullness of relating to other humans.
·
Delivered here through a curated series of dyad exercises, it's deliberately a bit awkward so as to break up old patterns of mindless co-existence.
·
These encounters can be profound, tender, disorienting, or enlivening. Sometimes all at once!
·
·
Relatefulness is *not* forced intimacy, performative vulnerability, therapy for attachment wounds, or an excuse to be a jerk under the guise of radical honesty.
·
This is a practice that cultivates radical self-responsibility: for your own emotional boundaries -and- for how you impact others. Is that paradoxical? Yes, it is... How wonderfully human of it!
·
This event is for people who want the connections in their lives to be more meaningful. Or who already have a meditation practice and want to bring more presence into their relationships. Or who simply like trying new things and aren't afraid to get a little weird.

Relatefulness (yes, a made-up and awkward-sounding name) is something near and dear to my heart, which I've been facilitating in-person and online for over 3 years. After 2 years living on Gabriola, I'm excited to welcome our little island community to co-create our own expression of this global practice.
