Relational Fielding

A Group Process for Relational Presence and Trauma Integration

Relational Fielding is an emergent group process of tending and participating in relational fields with devotional presence and loving awareness, cultivating the capacity to meet and integrate what arises. This guided, co-creative process supports embodiment, awakening, healing, and growth across personal, interpersonal, collective, and transpersonal dimensions, oriented toward the remembrance of wholeness. When rooted in our inherent interconnectedness, and sourcing from our collective intelligence, the group field becomes a space of resource, trauma integration, transformation, and the harvesting of insight.

Facilitation, Agency, and the Shared Relational Field

Relational Fielding processes are held by a team of facilitators trained in relational presence, trauma-informed practice, and group field awareness. They provide the overall structure, content, and pacing, leading group practices, and guiding trauma integration processes. Participants actively co-create the field through intention, presence, authenticity, curiosity, care, and attunement. They are invited to exercise agency and discernment, moving toward more choice, freedom, and sovereignty while honoring the interdependent nature of relating and acknowledging the ways others impact and shape experience.

Relational Capacity and Remembered Wholeness

As the group co-digests what appears, coherence deepens and relational capacity expands, making space for more complex layers of individual, ancestral, and collective experience to be held in the group body. By fielding fragmentation and stagnation, healing unfolds as the progressive restoration of flow, aliveness, and remembered wholeness. This work is sustained by heart-centered presence: the conscious and caring devotion to be with the movements of life and creation within and between us.

Systemic Impact, Purpose, and Active Being within Life’s Field

Our inner realities are interwoven with the relational, cultural, and ecological systems in which we live. When we rest in the ground of Being – an open and grounded state of embodied awareness – we remember our intrinsic belonging within the field and web of Life. The illusion of separateness dissolves, awakening us to the truth that we are Earth, inherently embedded into its living systems and evolutionary flow.

Relational Fielding widens presence into a relational and systemic offering, creating fertile ground for collective healing and transformation. We are invited into a way of active being, where the living stillness of presence informs conscious action, relationships are oriented toward presence, healing, truth, and love, and purpose and service emerge as generative expressions of our participation in the greater whole.

What Do We Mean By Relational Field?

A relational field is formed where personal fields intersect, co-enacting a dynamic space of connection, information flow, and collective intelligence.

Each relational field can be understood as a living library of truth, where our bodies are the books and our nervous systems hold stories of personal history, trauma, ancestral wisdom and pain, cultural patterning, collective memory, and the long arc of life and evolution. Relational fields also carry present-moment streams of physical, emotional, mental, energetic, and spiritual intelligence, along with open pages for emergent inspiration.

We are always participating in multiple, overlapping fields: electromagnetic fields, biofields, morphic fields, and social fields such as families, communities, and cultures, extending outward into Earth’s biosphere and the wider field of Life itself. All of these fields converge and express through the relational fields we inhabit.

Relational Fielding refers to our conscious participation in these fields through listening, attuning, presencing, engaging, and tending what arises. We field together, meeting and integrating experience as it unfolds and harvesting insight from the shared intelligence of our inter-being.

Areas of Exploration in Relational Fielding

Relational Fielding includes a range of interrelated and overlapping areas through which individuals and groups can explore personal, interpersonal, collective, and transpersonal experience. Depending on context, group composition, and what emerges in the relational field, different areas may be emphasized at different times.

Common areas of exploration in Relational Fielding include:

Mindful and Embodied Relating – Engaging with relational mindfulness and embodied presence as we relate with ourselves, one another, and the group. Emphasizes loving awareness, authentic expression, attunement, and relational discernment, supporting meaningful contact, relational maturity, and heart-centered leadership.

Creative Expression and Emergence – Embracing creativity as an intrinsic expression of relational presence through music, movement, poetry, improvisation, storytelling, and play. Supports spontaneity, inspiration, and the emergence of new relational possibilities within the group field.

Presence Touch – Honoring the body as a field of living intelligence through gentle, non-doing, heart-centered touch. Explores interoception, resonance, and attunement while supporting nervous system settling, trauma integration, and the remembrance of embodied wholeness.

Spirituality and Mysticism – Engaging the spiritual and mystical dimensions of lived experience as they arise within individuals and the collective field. Invites embodied inquiry into mystery, nonduality, and belonging within a greater field of Life, honoring direct experience of presence, devotion, and the sacred.

Individual, Ancestral, and Collective Healing – Centering on the remembrance of wholeness within individuals and collectives, recognizing healing as both personal and communal. Through compassionate, non-doing presence, stuckness and fragmentation can be met and integrated, allowing flow and wholeness to re-emerge, grounding us in our shared humanity and belonging within the Earth.

Systems and Ecology – Exploring how individual and group experience is embedded within larger social, cultural, and ecological systems. Cultivates awareness of interdependence, responsibility, and relational ethics, inviting conscious participation in the wider contexts that shape and sustain life.

Practices You May Encounter

Relational Fielding draws from a wide range of contemplative, relational, somatic, and creative practices that support presence, healing, and collective learning. The specific practices engaged in any given process will vary depending on context, duration, group size, and areas of emphasis.

Practices commonly included in Relational Fielding processes may include:

• Meditation and inner presence practices

• Relational mindfulness and conscious communication practices

• Dyad, triad, and small-group relational practices

• Embodiment and movement practices

• Group fielding practices

• Creative practices such as singing, dancing, poetry, writing, and improvisation

• Guided trauma integration processes

• Presence Touch sessions

Together, these practices provide structures through which relational fields are cultivated, explored, and harvested.

An Invitation

Relational Fielding invites us to reimagine how we engage with ourselves, others, and the greater field of Life. This holistic and integrative process, guided by the Heart of Presence principles, bridges personal, interpersonal, and transpersonal dimensions, offering a way to integrate fragmentation into embodied wholeness.

By aligning with the evolutionary currents of love, awareness, and interdependence, we enter a collective field of healing, transformation, and shared belonging. In this space, we are called to embrace life’s mystery and complexity with courage and care, co-creating a future of collective thriving rooted in presence.
