Relational Mastery Program
Learn and practice the skills to create meaningful deeper connection in your life.
Relational Mastery Program is a deep dive into the life-changing practices of Authentic Relating and Relational Inquiry (aka Circling) as well as incorporating elements of Mindfulness, Conflict Resolution, and Gestalt.
I am looking for a group of very specific people who are deeply wanting to level up the quality of connection in their life and are ready to make the necessary shifts to change their current relational paradigm.
This program is for people who:
✴️ Want to know how to better navigate challenging relational situations with more skill and ease
✴️ Want to know how to apply what they've experienced in Authentic Relating workshops to their day-to-day life
✴️ Are ready to "raise the bar" of all relationships and connections in their life
✴️ Want to be a part of a community of kind, compassionate people learning and growing together
This program will include:
🗓️ Monthly
→ Authentic Relating Experiential Workshops
→ Relational Inquiry Practice Circle (aka Circling)
→ Reflective Listening Practice Sessions
→ Skill Discussion & Integration Calls
→ Coaching Calls
🔁 Ongoing / Asynchronous
→ Connection with a small group of others for regular support & connection
→ 1:1 Connections with others
→ Recommended Reading & Activities
🗓️ Yearly
→ Discount admission to the 4-Day Immersive Connection Retreat in Fall of 2025
This program could be for you if...
✅ Believe that changing the way you experience relationships and connection is possible
We tend to learn our connecting skills from the people around us growing up, who are more often than not... unskilled. It is possible to learn and apply new skills that will ultimately impact the quality of relationships in your life.
✅ Understand that to see results, requires conscious effort, time, and a willingness to make changes
The results you see with this program will depend on how much focus and effort you're willing to put into it. The more you commit, the more results you will see.
✅ Are able to self-regulate
Self-regulation is the ability to understand and manage your behavior and your reactions to feelings and things happening around you
✅ Are willing to commit to the program for the entire year
While it isn't a requirement to be enrolled for the full year, it is intended to be a year-long program.
✅ Are ready and willing to spend ~4-5 hours per week on participating in various parts of the program
The program includes weekly classes & workshops (both in-person and virtual). There are also exercises and practices. See below for more schedule info.
✅ Are friendly, compassionate, and willing to receive candid feedback
This is a community of loving humans who are passionate about their own growth.
✅ Can afford to invest in the program financially
Pricing information can be found below. There are monthly, quarterly, and one-time payment options.
This program is not a fit if...
⛔️ You're expecting instant results
This is a practice - so while you may have instant "ah-ha" moments, it takes time to integrate and unpack the various parts of the practice.
⛔️ You don't have the space or time to participate fully
The value of this program is in the time you invest in the calls, workshops, and connection with the community. If you're not in a place to prioritize the program, it isn't likely the right time to join.
⛔️ You only want to connect with people of certain demographics (ages, backgrounds, genders, etc)
I believe there's value in connecting with people of all ages, genders, orientations, races, etc. While it may feel surprising to find common ground with someone very different than you, if you are not open to it, this program will not be for you.
⛔️ You are looking for a substitution or replacement for therapy
This program can have a therapeutic effect, however, it is not therapy. It's a wonderful accompaniment to work with a therapist.
⛔️ You are unable to arrive on time for scheduled workshops & calls
I start & end on time to respect your time. Late arrivals can be disruptive to the flow and distract other participants. If you are often late for things, this program won't be a fit for you.
⛔️ You are looking for a space to push your political, religious, or personal agenda
This program is about learning skills for greater connections with your heart and soul. If you have an intent to persuade anyone anything, this will not be a fit.

What is Authentic Relating?Authentic Relating (AR) is a powerful practice that utilizes carefully designed activities to promote more meaningful connection and deeper understanding of one another. We have handpicked activities from the AR practice that we feel are ideal for a first-time encounter with potential partners. We do offer Authentic Relating in platonic environments, too. There, participants can explore deeper connections without the romantic intention (That said, we have had folks meet their partners at those events, too!). http://www.letsbeauthentic.com
-
What should I wear to an event?We recommend the same attire you would wear to a casual first date. Choose something in which you can comfortably stand and move while wearing. Use the same grooming and hygiene that you would for a first date. We request no strong scents be used. Please note: depending on the venue, we may ask you to remove your shoes.
-
How many people will be at each event?Our events typically have between 15-40 participants. We do our best to keep our heterosexual events gender balanced.
-
Do I have to be single to attend?No, but you do have to be available for dating (i.e. if you are currently in a monogamous relationship, we don't feel it would be appropriate for you to attend).
-
My age is covered in 2 different events, which should I attend?"Our honest suggestion is: both! Each event will have a different batch of singles to meet, connect with and potentially match with - this increases your odds of finding someone who you're interested in persuing romantically. If you only want to attend one, we recommend chosing the age range that more accurately captures your ideal partner.
-
Is this speed dating?Our events differ greatly from speed dating because during your time with other participants, you'll be guided through Authentic Relating activities that have been designed to help you skip awkward small talk and jump right to having a more connected interaction. The parts that are similar to speed dating are that you will be meeting & connecting with several people at one event and you will only be given contact information of the people with whom you mutually match.
-
What kind of activities will we be doing?The activities will include a variety of things such as verbal sharing prompts, inner reflection, light movement/stretching and platonic touch (e.g. holding hands). You are invited to participate in as much or as little as feels comfortable.
-
What if I don't want to do an activity?Everything we do here is completely voluntary. We expect that you to honor yourself by either modifying an activity or opting out completely depending on what feels comfortable to you and others you are interacting with.
-
What is your refund/cancellation policy?We offer full refunds up to 7 days before the event. **Tickets are not transferable. Please do not sell/give your ticket to someone else as it will create issues with matching. **
-
Do you offer events for all ages/sexual orientations?Yes! We offer events for various age groupings and sexual orientations. If you don't see an event that suits you listed, please use our Contact Us form to let us know you're interested!
