What is its value? How do we get better at it? What roles does it place in our relationships? How do we build the skills that keep us in healthy relationships with each other? What about conflict? These are some of the questions that inform this episode of Adventures Through The Mind, as we speak with Sara Ness.
Sara Ness is the founder and CEO of Authentic Revolution. In 2012, at 20 years old, Sara founded still-ongoing learning communities in Austin and Houston that became two of the biggest AR groups in the world. She has gone on to work with tens of thousands of students in sectors from Google to Mindvalley to Burning Man. Sara’s publications – including The Authentic Relating Games Manual, the core text of the Authentic Relating field – have helped seed 100+ communities in every continent (except Antarctica…yet!) Sara is passionate about exposing the joy of human connection and exploring our creative potential through group process. She lives in community in Bastrop, Texas.
In this episode, we not only explore the relational depths and breadths that conversations can take us to, but also build our skills in conversation and building our skills in relation overlap with each other. We explore how play can help us develop and exercise those skills, specifically what are called Authentic Relating games. Furthermore, we also speak about how the possibilities of conversations can be both literally and phenomenologically psychedelic.
