4310 E Amherst Ave, Denver, CO 80222THEME: Checking our Assumptions
Checking our assumptions is a standalone AR skills that radically transforms the quality and depth of our relationships, if used skillfully. Assumptions are something that all humans make, and are pretty much unavoidable. The practice of checking our assumptions brings the ownership of making them back to ourselves, and gives us space to explore and be curious about if they are true for other people. It also gives those we are related to the opportunity to express their truth, and clarify the assumption. This simple practice has made a profound impact on my own life and relationships.
What to expect?
This is a workshop-style event with a supportive structure used to create a group context around:- Slowing down
- Expanding our awareness in our body, mind, emotions
- Welcoming everything
- Checking our assumptions
- Revealing our experiences
- Owning our experiences
- Honoring ourselves and others
We will use prompts, sentence stems, games, dyads, and group discussions to get you in touch with your awareness, curiosity, truth, and empathy.
The result?
— Expanded relational awareness
— Deeper, more meaningful and intimate connections with self and others
— The potential to begin shifting lifelong relational patterns and blocksAll instructions and prompts will be provided; no experience necessary. This meetup is perfect for those new to AR as well as the well-seasoned.
