Authentic Relating: Conversations in Community

**Event Description: Authentic Relating: Conversations in Community**

Join expert facilitator Charity Loring, LMSW, for a monthly gathering focused on Authentic Connections and Conversations every 2nd Thursday. Cultivate self-care and co-care in a supportive, intentional environment designed for meaningful interactions. The event features interactive games, communication activities, and opportunities for self-reflection, integrating cognitive and somatic experiences through sitting, talking, and movement.

With only 15 spots available, please arrive on time; doors open at 6:30 PM and the opening circle begins promptly at 7:00 PM—no latecomers will be permitted. This is not group therapy, but many participants find the experience engaging and therapeutic. Charity has over 20 years of experience creating warm, consent-based spaces for connection.

Whether you're looking to deepen relationships with family, friends, coworkers, or explore different kinds of connections, this event welcomes all relationship styles, identities, and expressions. Bring your own nonalcoholic drinks, snacks, and anything else to ensure your comfort. The gathering ends at 9:00 PM, and the rest of your evening begins.

Tickets are on a sliding scale of $25-$40, payable in advance online or at the door via cash or Venmo. Join us for an enriching evening where you can choose your level of participation.
