AUTHENTIC RELATING: a four day non-residential retreat with Rupda
This is your chance to be real, honest, and authentic. In this four day non-residential retreat you get the opportunity to build up your confidence, your sense of connection and cultivate healthier relationships with yourself and others.
This retreat is for individuals looking to enhance their communication skills, discover their voice, and practice relating in a more conscious way. It also explores how personality structures shape behavior in relationships, bringing awareness to patterns that influence how we connect.
When we don’t have authentic connections and when we don’t feel truly seen, it can be extremely isolating and painful.This transformational retreat will support you in a safe, held space, so that you can learn to step out of your comfort zone, find the courage to speak your truth, and connect from an authentic place.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
Many of life’s obstacles, limiting beliefs, judgments, misunderstandings, and unconscious self-sabotage hold power over us only when we lack awareness of them. This retreat helps you bring clarity to how you relate to yourself and others.
By identifying your relational patterns and uncovering the core beliefs that hold you back, you’ll gain the tools to open up to deeper, more meaningful connections. You’ll learn to embrace vulnerability, speak your truth without fear, and make choices that align with your authentic self.
This process allows you to feel comfortable in your own skin, naturally fostering genuine relationships and a sense of belonging.
Through guided exercises, you’ll address the ways you hold yourself back, uncover the root of your communication blocks, and build the confidence and clarity to express what you truly need.

“I was born in the late 60’s, a time of radical thinking and revolutionary approaches to human psychology and group therapy. As a child, I grew up in a conscious community and was fortunate enough to sit with a spiritual teacher until the mid 90’s. Growing up in a conscious community, I had a rare opportunity to partake in a multitude of meditations, workshops and retreats. Much of the teachings were on human psychology, awareness and meditation. This became one of the most illuminating and enriching experiences in my own development growing up, and one that continues to impact my life today… ”
