Interactive Workshop: "Authentic Relating Games Night"
Description: Would you like to explore playing games that bring you into a deeper connection with others? Would you consider calling forth your childlike curiosity in order to bring up both tender feelings and wild laughter? The sharing of vulnerability is an essential component of both group evolution and personal growth. We offer a warm and supportive environment in which one can safely reveal the tender feelings and vulnerabilities necessary for developing true connection. Below are some takeaways as well as reviews from prior participants.
Take a-ways:
• More ease at starting up conversation with strangers.
• Improved comfort in navigating conversations that involve grievances.
• Increased awareness around being true to oneself and boundary settings.
• Becoming more responsive and less re-active in difficult conversations.
When: Wednesday, October 8, 2025 from 5:00pm to 9:00pm (Workshop at 6:30pm)
Where: LoDo Studios, 216 E. Gutierrez Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101(Please only park across the street on the Office Max side of the lot.)
