The Connection Lab

About this event

A playground for practicing how we relate.

We spend our lives in relationships, but most of us were never actually taught how to relate.
How do I say what I really mean?

How do I stay connected to myself while I'm with someone else?
What happens when I want to be liked?
Can I be honest without disconnecting?
Can I listen without fixing?
Can I let myself be seen?

Connection Lab is a practice space to explore these questions together.
Through playful and sometimes deeper relational exercises, we'll practice noticing what we feel, what we want, what we assume and what we hold back — and experiment with new ways of being with each other.

It's about trying, getting feedback, adjusting, making mistakes, trying again and growing together. And having fun.

Very little theory: we learn by doing.

What is Authentic Relating?
Connection Lab draws mainly from Authentic Relating — a practice of bringing more awareness, honesty and presence into the way we relate — alongside other relational and embodied practices.
You don't need any previous experience. You don't need to be “good with people”, and you never have to share anything you don't want to share. Come as you are.
