when they feel seen, heard, and valued.

About AR
Authentic Relating is a practice that promotes genuine connections, empathetic listening and understanding between people. It involves being present, honest, and vulnerable in interactions with others. These structured and guided interactions offer tools and a conscious way to connect and explore your inner world openly and safely, deepening interpersonal connections and personal awareness.
Our events offer a meaningful way to connect
with yourself and others.
Our unique format features interactive and creative activities to support self-discovery, group discussions, and one-on-one conversations. Throughout the class, we will collectively explore the concept of authenticity.
We've chosen to infuse our sessions with as much authenticity and spontaneity as possible; nothing is predetermined or planned at the core of our sessions. Instead, the group will co-create the event's activities and share opportunities on the spot. This approach ensures everyone feels comfortable and equal.
The session will conclude with a group sharing experience, providing a platform for collective reflection. Additionally, there will be an exclusive opportunity for individual conversations with Maria after the class to dive deeper into your connection journey. This personalised interaction ensures that your voice is heard and your journey is acknowledged.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of activities will be in the sessions?
All our games and activities have a focus on stimulating genuine conversation. Word prompts, simple questions, or group games are always fun, but what makes us stand out is that all themes are set by the participants during the day. We set the structure, and our community brings it to life!
Do I need to bring anything with me?
The only thing to bring is the willingness to be open and vulnerable. We understand this can be challenging, but this is the skill we want to cultivate more than anything.
Is AR a form of Therapy?
AR has a natural ability to be therapeutic; sometimes, hearing the right thing from the right person at the right time is all we need in life. We like to foster this principal and hold the space for this to happen.
Is every session the same?
Every class has its unique appeal, as no session is predetermined. There is a randomness to what we all connect with and that is what our community loves. No two conversations are the same.
