What is Authentic Relating?

We will be offering deep relating skills and self exploration every Tuesday night during the

Relational Playground

THESE OFFERINGS ARE FOR YOU IF ANY OF THE FOLLOWING APPLY:

You are heavily invested, and on the path of spiritual and emotional growth.

You want to create more community… especially if it includes of people with different sexual orientations, skin colors, religions, and economic backgrounds.

You know your Enneagram Type, (or want to know it) and you are ready discover and let go of some of the weird ways your personality type unconsciously sabotages relationships and limits the amount of intimacy and love you can let in.

At times you have social anxiety or feel isolated… and you want to have the skills to feel confident in forming deeper, more vibrant relationships.

In intimate relationship you get triggered and: emotionally shut down and pull back, get anxious, or lash out in anger.

You are ready to feel love more deeply in a way that awakens your soul.

Or possibly you want to be part of a growing “Authentic Relating” movement that builds trust through: self revealing, seeing deeply into others, creating safety in groups, and resolving conflict with more ease.

Any of that resonate for you?

If so…  learn more and sign up below!

“After doing shadow work with Ben, I brought in over $165,000 in sales at my 3-day event, I asked for (and got!) double the offered advance on my new book and, for the first time ever, I’m actually saving 20% of my income each month. Best of all, I feel more open, relaxed and confident than ever before.”

Bob Proctor

​"​Change is when we learn a new skill or useful new information; transformation is when we reorganize at a deeper level, a new platform for a whole new approach to lifelong learning and growth. You'll get both with Ben Salzman. The work is immediately practical and ultimately spiritual -- new connections, new capacities, new power and freedom in living.​"​
