Relatefulness

In Relatefulness we practice relational mindfulness and conscious communication. Relatefulness has been described as “the art of being with” – being with ourselves, with each other, and with what arises in the relational space between us. We gather and practice bringing awareness to our experience of the present moment, exploring what it’s like to be us in the emerging now.

  • In Relateful Gatherings we come together and relate, mindfully. We talk about what's present in us and between us. Through slowing down and exploring the present moment in connection, we tap into the “magic” of relating that can be easy to miss in our everyday lives.

    In order to create a space of presence, authenticity and curiosity, we will go into Relateful practices in pairs and in the whole group. These practices of awareness and embodiment allow us to see more clearly, feel more deeply and connect more honestly. That's how we can step into a style of conscious relating that enhances the quality of our relationships.

    We'll practice to:

    •Bring presence and honest expression to what’s true while connecting

    •Notice sensations, emotions, thoughts, and awareness

    •Be with the impact of our expression, choices, and interactions

    •Follow our curiosity and embodied aliveness

    •Use meta-awareness to give breathing room to our experiences

    •Check our assumptions, projections, and narratives about others

    •Infuse our relating with more truth and love

    These gatherings often include Relateful Fundamentals, Focus, and Flow. Let's come together for an interpersonal exploration of relational presence!

  • In a Focus session, one person (the Focusee) is chosen to be the focus of the group’s attention. They essentially become the breath of our collective meditation of being. During the Focus session, we become curious about what it’s like in the Focusee’s world and experience. This can happen by participants asking questions to get a feel for what their present moment experience is for them as it unfolds. Participants also share with the Focusee and the group what their personal, in-the-moment experience of being with the Focusee is like.

  • Flow sessions are a more advanced practice of Relatefulness. We gather in a group, consciously exploring the interconnectedness of me, you, and us. We practice embodied attunement, sovereign surrender, discernment, focused and diffuse awareness, authorship, listening from stillness, trusting in and moving from the deep impulse of Life. The entire range of humanness and more-than-humanness may be explored. We’ll be with what arises, weaving our unique threads of being, belonging, and becoming together as we discover the emergent intelligence of the group field.

  • 2-hour relateful sessions with couples (or any configuration of romantic partnership - monogomous, polyamorous, or otherwise).

Relatefulness for conscious relationship.
