Coming into connection: Foundations of Authentic Relating
In this session, we’ll explore the foundations of Authentic Relating - the practice of bringing more presence, truth and curiosity into how we connect with ourselves and others. Authentic Relating invites us to move beyond surface-level interactions and into deeper, more meaningful exchanges that are rooted in awareness, honesty and care.
Relating authentically requires a strong connection to our internal experience. Through the lens of somatic work, we recognise that our ability to connect with others is directly tied to how connected and regulated we are within ourselves. When we are grounded in the body and attuned to our own needs, emotions and boundaries, we can meet others with greater openness, empathy and resilience.
During this session, we’ll explore how somatic awareness and nervous system regulation form the bedrock of true connection. We’ll engage in simple but powerful group practices designed to deepen your relationship with yourself first, and then to extend that awareness outward into genuine, embodied connection with others. Together, we’ll create a space where authenticity, presence, and mutual support naturally arise.
By connecting in a group, we support our individual and collective regulation, remind each other that we are not alone and create a field where healing, presence and transformation become more accessible.
📌 This session is part of a 4-part series introducing Somatic and Nervous System Work
Each session combines theory, experiential practices and group connection as a way to reconnect with the body, understand how our emotional states and overall well-being are deeply governed by the nervous system and learn practical tools to support yourself in moments of challenge, stress or overwhelm.
These sessions are for you if:
🌿 You are curious about somatic work and want a gentle, grounded introduction
🌿 You feel disconnected from your body and recognise how this impacts your energy, emotions and relationships
🌿 You struggle with anxiety, overwhelm, low energy, or find it hard to relax and be present
🌿 You long for a more compassionate, embodied way of relating to yourself and others
Important: Please note this is a women only group!
