Authentic Relating, Saturday 8 July, 6-9 PM
"What I'm scared to ask or do..."
Needs. Desires. Sometimes I feel them in my belly, fluttering around like a butterfly. At other times I feel them roaring through my body from the tips of my toes to the crown of my head, but... I fail to express it.
There seems to be so much to lose if I do. Can I ask for what I need or would like, and still be accepted? Can I accept a no as reply, without feeling rejected?
Or can I offer something I would like to do, without being judged or looked down upon for being weird, or having ulterior motives?
Needs and desires are only one question away from being met. Yet the blockages preventing us from asking can be huge. And how do we feel to receive a no, or not now/yet? Can we accept it with grace or do we feel like hiding in shame for even asking?
Alternatively, how do we respond if requested to help, but we don't feel we can? How do we communicate boundaries or discomfort when they occur?
Join me tomorrow for another round of Authentic Relating, where we will explore needs and desires in the broadest sense of the word. Come with an open heart, mind and without expectations and let's meet each other with respect for our own and other people's wishes.
Date: Saturday 8 July
Time: 6-9 PM
Location: my garden behind football field.
Exchange: 300 EGP. I'm not turning anyone away for lack of means, please PM.
Please confirm attendance before noon Saturday. 🙏
