RELATIONAL LABORATORY Helsinki

You are invited into our relational research laboratory - a brave space where you get to shift your patterns into new experiences.  

*************************************************************************************************************************

As human beings we are relating to one another all the time, wether we like it or not. We are social creatures that need connection and fulfilling relationships to live healthy lives.

Most of us long to relate more authentically, to be ourselves fully and unapologetically no matter who we are relating to. Yet we often struggle to feel and express our boundaries, needs and longings in relationships, instead relating from coping mechanisms and unhealthy patterns.

How we show up in any relationship or meeting correlates to how we show up in all areas of our lives. Therefore, the place where we meet is a beautiful opportunity to shift the patterns that run our lives.

This is why we created the relational research laboratory. Through mindful observation we bring awareness to the unconscious patterns that operate in us. With nervous system regulation and embodiment practices we create enough safety from within to try something new. Together we then create new relational experiences in the micro cosm of a workshop that can ripple out into your life and relationships.

In this relational laboratory we offer you the relational education you never got:

Connecting with yourself, your body and your nervous system first before you move into connecting with others.

Creating an inner sense of safety, through getting to know your nervous system and how to regulate it.

Tuning into your inner YES & NO as well as the authentic expression of your needs, longings & desires.

Finding your unique individual pace in connection to yourself & others, through slowing down enough to notice the subtle signals from your body and letting them guide you moment to moment.

During the weekend we will explore, experience & play with these themes:

• embodied boundaries & consent
• nervous system regulation
• relational trauma awareness
• movement practices
• authentic communication & heart opening sharing
• relational needs, longings & desires
• group field wisdom - supporting each other and growing together

* We explore relational patterns that show up in any kind of relationships, not just the romatic ones.

* This workshop does not contain any nudity, erotic intimacy or activation of sexual energy.

* All humans are welcome, regardless of relationship status, gender and previous experience.
