Martin Buber said something that I remember as, “When any two people not-know at each other while wanting to know, therein we catch the tail of God”. I love that and experience it regularly and love to facilitate Relatefulness as Flow with massive amounts of that “Buberian phenomena” in the room. And something new has come to me. Beauty is always there. I’ve come to call this Buberian beauty, “Radiance”. I love everything I’ve ever taught and lead and this immersion will be a deeper dive into:
-Radiance
-Fields
And
-The subconscious as the “Beloved”
I’m going to keep reminding myself of one thing while we’re together- Beauty is a coherence of Truth that needs no justification.
What is Relatefulness:
If mindfulness is the cultivation of awareness, Relatefulness is the cultivation of awareness interpersonally.
For 2.5 days, we engage in a living, breathing practice—one that reveals how much of you is includable, how much of you is needed. Through a dynamic, evolving flow of presence, we co-create the space together, uncovering new dimensions of autonomy, interdependence, and self-trust.
This weekend will include structured exercises on Radiance and Flow, spontaneous practices, and Flow. Flow is a practice stemming from Encounter Groups. It can look structureless, which can be intense for some, or it can feel as natural as seeing an old friend. In daily life, we rely on countless unspoken conversational norms that can feel like politeness, turn-taking, or invisible rules about what’s “okay” to express. Flow doesn’t specifically set out to upend these norms but reveals how our assumptions about connection shape our experience.
There are no specific rules, but you will notice people’s cultural habits creating clusters of behavior that look like implicit rules. Through longer warm-up exercises, we will explore how structure and free-flowing presence are not opposites but partners.
Who is this for?
- If you’ve ever wondered what it would feel like to move beyond what you think freedom is, this is for you.
- If you long for connection that isn’t contrived—something deeper than words, something that breathes—you belong here.
- If you’re ready to pioneer the edges of your own awareness, this is your space.
What to Expect:
- In-the-moment feedback on what it’s like to be together.
- Appreciation for what we collectively create.
- Empowerment to contribute and lead within the space.
The benefits of this practice are innumerable. Whether it’s navigating family dynamics, feeling alone in a crowd, or deepening your ability to engage with Love and Truth, Flow fosters a natural ease with expression, listening, and being seen.
Expect the unexpected. Expect to be met. Expect to meet yourself in ways you couldn’t alone.
And if it all feels like too much? Interrupt. Interject. Take the space you need. Because this isn't a performance. It’s participation.
Facilitators:
Mike Blas
Mike has been practicing and leading Relatefulness for 10 years. With a Master’s Degree in Industrial Psychology, he works with groups, couples (including parents and their adult children), and one-on-one private clients. He is the creator of The Relateful Company’s Flow Facilitator training program and an instructor for the LevelUp Relatefulness Facilitator training.
Lisa Rombach
Lisa Rombach invites embodied relational leadership. She connected with Mike for 30 min in 2020 and has since practiced, facilitated and lived Relatefulness. With a background in music and the somatic arts, Lisa listens for what’s not yet spoken—what trembles at the edge of experience. Her presence opens space to reassemble the puzzle of existence and let aliveness move through your bones.
Additional Information:
• Please arrive early to settle into the space before we start. 15 minutes early is great, but it’s okay if you’re just on time.
• This event is a “brave space” rather than a “safe space.” There are no guarantees about how you will be received by the group. If you want a certain kind of reception, you are empowered to create it.
• Be prepared to take agency and say yes or no as needed. While guided, this practice requires personal responsibility.
