Embodied Relating is a guided, mindfulness based workshop designed to help you better understand yourself in relationship. We begin with a brief introduction to attachment, the nervous system, and present-moment awareness, exploring how our experiences in relationship become embodied and shape our felt sense of ourselves, others, and the world around us. Together, we'll explore how protective relational patterns gradually take shape through repeated experiences and continue to influence the ways we move toward, away from, or against one another in relationship.

From there, we'll move into guided somatic practices that cultivate greater awareness of your embodied experience. Throughout the afternoon, we'll explore relationship through a series of partner and group exercises designed to bring relational patterns into awareness as they naturally emerge. Rather than trying to change these patterns immediately, we'll first learn to recognize and understand them with curiosity and compassion.

As the workshop unfolds, we'll develop greater grounding, internal resources, and awareness before returning to similar relational experiences. This allows us to notice how our patterns begin to shift as we become more present, connected, and able to respond with greater choice and flexibility.

There will be opportunities throughout the afternoon to pause, reflect, and share observations with the group, recognizing that learning happens not only through the exercises themselves, but also through witnessing your own experience and hearing the perspectives of others. Midway through the workshop, we'll enjoy a nourishing break with tea and refreshments, including options that accommodate common dietary needs. We conclude with time for integration, reflection, and practical ways to carry what you've discovered into your everyday relationships.
