Authentic Relating Games

IMG_3922.HEIC
Cultivating authentic relationships is a legitimate minefield these days. There just seem to be so many conditions and obstacles that precede the one thing we need perhaps more than anything else in the world: human connection.

Often communication starts and stops because we feel unsure about how to approach it, what to say, or what to ask.

 

Turning communication into a game provides a guiding structure and a set of agreements for everyone involved. This removes a lot of the stress and anxiety from connection and adds an inviting element of play.

​

  • We want to “be real” without revealing too much

  • We crave low-fi human contact and hope that likes, swipes, and follows will get us there  

  • We believe in products that promise human connection and forget that we, as humans, know the basics already

 

For all of these reasons, though, authenticity is actually having a comeback. The search for genuine human connection is at the center of what’s known as the “authentic relating” (AR) movement.

Authenticity is acting and speaking in alignment with our inner feelings, desires, and needs. 

 

Authentic Relating (AR) is the practice of bringing our truth into connection with others’, so that we can weave a more rich and truthful human Experience.

 

The Authentic Relating Games are an easy and fun way to help us experience deeper connections, boost empathy, see the world through others’ eyes, and understand ourselves better so that we can enjoy life more.

The authentic relating movement is a practice-based approach to social connection that aims to cultivate better, healthier, and more meaningful relationships. At its heart, authentic relating is about getting in touch with your true nature and manifesting your authentic self in your daily life.
