Edges & Boundaries (Relational Alchemy)

SEE EVENT DETAILS
How can we both honor what’s right for us while also remaining open to new possibilities?
When something is uncomfortable, does that mean that we should say yes or that we should say no?
How can we have solid, crystal-clear boundaries, while at the same time leaning into our edges and breaking out of our comfort zone so that we can grow?
It is indeed possible to have both, and not through compromise but in a way where both edges and boundaries support each other!
Join us for an evening of relational exploration in which you’ll get not just the concept but the experience of deep connection with each other and get to play with your boundaries and your edges in community. I only lead Relational Alchemy events once or twice a year in the Bay Area, and always on a different topic, so this is a rare treat.
When:Saturday, May 206 - 9pm
Where:The Center SF548 Fillmore St, San Francisco 94117http://www.thecentersf.com/
Cost:$20 in advance, $30 at the door
'Relational Alchemy' is an evolution of personal growth into relational growth. We begin from a place of embracing and taking responsibility for our unique personal experience. That is the foundation of integrity. From those roots we reach out, with love and respect, to relate with each other's experience--and that is where the magic happens! When we tell the truth, the truth changes.
There is no cookie-cutter mold for how you should be or what relating should look like. Everyone is a complete universe unto themselves, has a unique style, personality, and integrity that is perfectly *them*, and everyone is perfect and amazing as they are (including their belief that they aren't.)
These nights involve a series of fun, social exercises that demonstrate and explore relational alchemy, getting to know yourself better while at the same time learning to see and appreciate more about everyone you connect with.
All this is within a lighthearted container which is safe for getting real, taking emotional risks, and personal growth. Everyone has an opportunity to profoundly see and be seen, where there is nothing to 'get' and judgements and distractions fade away.
Things to expect: laughter, relief, anxiety/excitement, reverence, love and connection, new friends, and new possibilities for how you engage the world

What people are saying about Relational Alchemy:
"I left wanting more like this and with a curious sensation of "you can do this kind of thing??". This is exactly the kind of experience I've been seeking, I had no idea it even existed!"
"What you offered is the heart of what matters to me - the chance to get to show up, naked, simple, and to speak our heart's truth."
"Totally blew me away. It was so incredible to explore deep ways of connecting to others in such a safe, engaging, and fun way. Michael is a wizard at this stuff, a true craftsman. I highly recommend this evening to anyone seeking to expand authentic expression and human connection in their world."
"I loved feeling myself moving to a place of vulnerability, lovingkindness, and trust with a space full of strangers."
“I have tremendous faith in Michael as a facilitator. He creates a space that is loving and safe where exploration, authenticity and magic can happen. He takes charge in this subtle way that is simultaneously gentle and strong.”
“Indeed a great event! It was so impressive and uplifting to have experienced such substantial and deep connections with someone you know for only two hours! The world would be a better place if more people relate this way.”
