Authentic Connection is the practice of being you and freely expressing your experience while in the presence of others.
When we connect this way, we are creating real connections based on who really are. Inspired by Authentic Relating, the practices are safe, fun, and intentional modalities ground in play and rooted with boundaries to allow for deep meaningful and enjoyable connections to be created.

The more we practice Authentic Connection...

We begin to shed the conditioned relational habits and patterns creating more connection from a space of truth and authenticity.  This allows us to be real and more human with each other.  It expands our ability and capacity for acceptance of self and other.  Inside of this, real connection is created, and interactions with others are more fulfilling. We move beyond the surface of informational exchange and into the space of exploration while all persons involved are honored, cared for, seen, heard, accepted and therefore feeling loved.
