Welcome & Terms of Service

Our practices involve looking at and being intimate with the structures of one’s personal reality, including how we make sense of experience, individually and collectively. Carrying over assumptions from other practices can lead to misunderstandings. Read over the following statements to determine whether or not our practice will be a good fit for you.

Self-Responsibility
We see you as a free agent capable of honest self-assessment and responsible choice. This is an invitation to take responsibility for yourself and your experience, including a willingness to set and maintain appropriate boundaries. By attending our events you take responsibility for your own safety and comfort, choosing to leave the practice or participate in any given moment.

Not Psychotherapy
We do not follow a therapeutic model of diagnosis and treatment. Our method is educational. Our emphasis is relating. Our facilitators and coaches are guides. Our practices are practices of connection and meditation whose aim is to reveal more presence. We do not prescribe choices or actions. We are not psychotherapists; we do not see you as being in a therapeutic relationship with our facilitators. Participants are welcome to speak and explore developmental intentions such as “getting somewhere,” growing, and evolving, but we do not presume these are the drivers of experience. We work in the present moment, assuming wholeness moving to greater wholeness.

The Expectations of Leadership
Our facilitators act in service of better relating through bringing more presence to what’s happening in the here and now. This may not follow typical expectations of a “group leader,” such as telling people the “right way” to act or making sure everyone gets along. We include the internal experiences of the leaders as part of the process. We invite you to listen to your own inner direction for leadership, and consider others’ responses as feedback to you in the context of the moment.

Is this Right for You?
Our workshops can be intense. We explore the unknown, the volatile, the ambiguous, as well as welcome emotions many deem as “negative” or “inappropriate” such as feelings of inadequacy, anger, sexuality, and joy. We often explore multiple sides of seeming opposites at once, and believe this can reveal an underlying unity of the immediacy of experience. We see bringing awareness to intense feelings as distinct from acting upon these feelings—we may ask you to pause or leave if we determine certain expressions risk leaving the practice of relational presence.

If the above description of our workshops sounds potentially overwhelming or destabilizing for you, if you have mental illness or significant emotional challenges that you feel may be exacerbated by this type of transformational environment, or if you are not sure that you can be self-directed in taking care of your needs during the event, then we advise you not to enroll. Finally, you must be at least 18 years old to attend.

By participating you acknowledge that you have read and agree to abide by these Terms of Service.

The Art of Relating, September 26 & 27, 2026

With Liz & Philip Watson

An immersion into the art of being human, together.

What becomes possible when we slow down enough to truly meet ourselves—and each other?

The Art of Relating is a two-day experiential immersion into the art of being human and the practice of authentic connection. Together, we’ll explore what happens when we bring awareness, curiosity, and radical listening to the way we relate—with ourselves, with others, and with the space between us.

This isn’t a workshop where you simply learn about relating. You’ll practice it.

Through embodied exploration, movement, small-group practices, and relational experiments, we’ll create opportunities to discover new ways of experiencing intimacy, vulnerability, presence, and connection.

What we’ll explore

Embodied Awareness
Learn to notice what is happening in your body, emotions, and thoughts—and let that awareness become part of how you relate.

Flow & Small-Group Practices
Drop into the present moment through playful, emergent practices that invite connection, responsiveness, and discovery.

Intimacy & Vulnerability
Explore what it means to let yourself be seen, to meet another person more fully, and to discover the edges of authentic intimacy.

We-Space Practices
Move beyond the experience of “me and you” and explore what emerges when we become curious about the space we create together.

Relateful Zen
Practice presence, awareness, and openness through a relational lens—meeting yourself more deeply and transcending yourself as well.

Movement & Flow
Use the body, movement, and play to access connection, aliveness, and ways of relating beyond words.

Come curious.

You don’t need to be an expert at relating. You don’t need to have it all figured out.

Just bring your willingness to slow down, listen deeply, get curious, and discover what becomes possible when we meet one another more fully.

Meet Your Facilitators

Liz Watson

Liz is a senior Integral Bodywork Therapist and coach with a background in Core Energetics, Somatic Psychotherapy and Subtle Energy Work. She is also a certified senior Relateful facilitator and works with the integration of body, mind and subtle energies using diverse tools such as touch, massage therapy, movement, energy work and conversational modes of therapy akin to coaching.

“I consider my own gift to be helping people see their inner natural beauty, bring more clarity on what their challenges might be in the present moment, tune into their unique gifts and develop more loving and balanced ways of relating to themselves and others”.

Philip Watson

Philip is a senior facilitator and coach and teaches Relatefulness online and in-person in English and Spanish. He grew up in Mexico City with an Australian dad and a Mexican mom and is therefore equally happy having enchiladas or toast with Vegemite for breakfast.

He has been deeply influenced by several lineages of awakening and adult development including zen, dzogchen, parts work and integral theory. He's also worked extensively as a music producer and singer-songwriter.

Philip is profoundly in love with life and, more specifically, with his wife Liz and their son Alex.
