Relatefulness

Join Josh Rosenberg and Daniel Ricciardelli for a twice-monthly drop-in Relatefulness practice, an immersive experience where participants explore present-moment awareness and connection within a group. Relatefulness draws from relational practices like Circling™, Authentic Relating, and T-Group, but centers on the honest, real-time experience of relating to others. Participants notice their relational patterns, emotions, and body sensations, sharing their observations to help the group understand one another and deepen their collective awareness.

This practice complements traditional meditation by emphasizing mindful awareness in a relational context. By focusing on the connection between self and others within the group, participants can:

• Discover new and more fulfilling ways of interacting with themselves and others.
• Apply personal growth insights in a real-world interpersonal setting.
• Experience healing through deep connection by being seen and understood.

Relatefulness often pushes participants to the edge of their awareness, inviting growth through vulnerability and authenticity. Attendees are encouraged to take care of themselves, whether that means stepping away when needed or guiding the group into new ways of relating.

• Doors close promptly at 6:35 PM to ensure an uninterrupted experience.
