What is Authentic Relating (AR)?
Authentic Relating is a powerful approach with life-changing applications in:
🏡 Intentional communities & co-living spaces
👨👩👧 Family relationships
🏢 Workplace collaboration & leadership
🎓 Education & personal growth
AR is a thriving global practice community, 30,000+ strong. It is an open-source, global movement for social transformation based on the idea of prioritizing connection, showing up powerfully for other people, and injecting more love into the world. And finally, its a powerful practice called Relational Inquiry (similar to Circling™), which will help you show up with more truth and care in all the contexts of your life, navigating differences and conflicts with more ease and joy.
