Our Perspective on Authentic Relating

Humans are relational beings. We thrive in connection with each other through the medium of communication. Yet for most of us we were never taught, or even modelled, healthy ways to relate.

These skills are, however, essential for all of us. The quality of our life is determined by the quality of our relationships… and this is determined by the skill of our relating.

Upgrade your communication skills

Authentic Relating is a communication art form composed of three major skillsets:

Listening
Expressing
Attuning

When we develop our listening ability, we gain the capacity to create a beautiful and safe presence...

When others share with us they feel seen, heard and validated. They want to open up, they want to be closer.

Every human has a fundamental need to be seen for who they truly are inside. We are capable of offering that to them, and it changes everything.

On the other hand we also have a fundamental need to express ourselves...

To share our inner world vulnerably, to express our needs and desires, to take a stand for our boundaries. We are capable of developing such grace in these areas, taking up more space in a healthy way, allowing our unique and authentic self to shine outwards. A life unexpressed is a life not fully lived.

As we enhance our ability to listen and express elegantly, what emerges is attunement....

The experience of resonance between us, moving from “I” into “We” and a field of deep connection. This beautiful state is undoubtedly part of our evolutionary trajectory, and we can practice it right now.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Evolve Relating?

What we are truly focused on is exploring the ways that humanity can evolve and grow into new ways of being on the planet.

We believe that this must include a strong emphasis on how we relate with each other, and becoming increasingly elegant and collaborative in our relationships.

Currently our major focus is on romantic relationships, as these offer a high leverage point for transformation. Until we heal our romantic relationships, and begin to unfold the next potential of intimacy relating, it will be difficult to truly effect bigger change.

You can read more about our mission on the "About Us" page.

What types of programs and courses do you offer?

Our programs and courses are focused on different aspects needed to create effective and beautiful relationships with others.

These courses range from those on the nervous system, boundaries, authentic relating, attachment theory, masculine-feminine polarity, and more to come.

We offer standalone self-paced courses, individual workshops and our Secure Intimacy membership program which combines course work with live classes inside of a thriving community of peers dedicated to creating the conditions for incredible relationships to flourish.

Who are your courses and membership for?

We serve those who feel the call to realise their potential.

Those who know inside of them that there is more that wants to be awakened, an evolution.

Our courses and Secure Intimacy membership are for those who know that incredible relationships are possible, ones that are inspiring and filled with love and passion, yet also safe and secure enough to really grow inside of.

We support the flowering and flourishing of relationships.

Can I try a course or the membership before I commit?

We have several short courses and workshops under the price of $50 that you can explore as a small investment to see what this work is like.

Our membership does not currently have a free trial, however you are able to sign up for a weekly price to see what it's like, and cancelling is easy anytime.

If you aren't ready to dive in that deep yet, then check out our articles and podcast on the resources page, and sign up to the newsletter to see what we are all about.

What makes Evolve Relating's approach unique?

Firstly, we are focused on evolving through relationship with others. This is distinct against most spiritual and personal development approaches that focus primarily on the individual.

We see an evolutionary pulse rippling out from the individual to the couple to the family into the community/tribe.

When it comes to romantic partnering our model includes communication skills, attachment theory, polarity and awakening in union. Most other relationship teachers focus on only one or maybe two of these at most.

We see however the essentialness of developing a solid ground of communication, healing attachment wounds to create security and working consciously with masculine/feminine polarity as essential components necessary to experience more awakening, or a divine or sacred union which it is often called, with a partner.

What results can I expect from joining Evolve Relating?

Evolution!

What a lofty sentiment that is...

Pragmatically, our work will teach you to cultivate elegant communication skills, heal trauma and develop a resilient nervous system, create strong and healthy boundaries, earn a secure attachment, discover how to wield masculine/feminine polarity consciously, and a path to awakening into deeper intimacy.

The outcome of all of this is happier, healthier, more fulfilling, safe and passionate relationships.

Which in turn creates a happier and less stressed you.

Healthier and happier families.

And eventually this will ripple out to touch our friends and the greater community.

You evolve. Your relationships evolve. Your community evolves.
