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.

Austin Relateful Immersion June 30th - July 2, 2023

in Austin w/ Valerie Daniel

"Nothing human is alien to me” - Terence

I’m excited to be leading a stand-alone Relatefulness immersion weekend in Austin on July 4th weekend.

I haven’t led an open immersion in Austin in years and it feels like it’s about time! It’ll be a weekend of fun, exploration and depth as we find what’s here, exploring being in the relational field in a variety of ways, cultivating presence in connection, being more truthful and heartfelt and looking at what’s in the way of connecting in the ways we’d like.

It’s open to all experience levels. For those of you who don’t live in Austin, it’s a great weekend to join the immersion and then stay to hangout in Austin and celebrate the 4th while you’re here!

You can expect:

Focus Circles—we just may Circle everyone, depends on numbers and interest—but we'll definitely do a boatload of Circling.
Flow Sessions—Extended surfings of the waves of interconnected consciousness... as we deepen together over the course of the weekend we'll discover how creativity-as-the-nature-of-being is unveiling something new in our unique collective, and let its unfolding ripen us
Practices—boundaries, boundaries, boundaries, while staying whole-heartedly connected
Practical Applications (for those who want them)—We're aimed at truth and love, but I'm deeply motivated by anyone who wants to bring these relateful ways of being into their workplace, family, friendships, and more, to get more and more elegant in their relating. Some of you are just going to come because you love the practice, and that's TOTALLY welcome too. We don't need to get anyway, and as you probably know from experience, choosing to get nowhere tends to be the best way to get somewhere good!

June 30th-July 2nd—We’ll start....

Friday evening at 6 pm and go until 10 pm Saturday and Sunday will go from 10a -6p with 100 minute lunch breaks as well.

This workshop is open to anyone/ all levels. Although you may wish to familiarize yourself with the practice if you're a first timer by going to some sessions, your perspective will be invaluable in the group knowing itself and seeing it's collective and individual blindspots.

With love and excitement,
Valerie
