AR description for if you'd like to forward to someone in your life
that you think would benefit and attend a class;

If you choose to attend Authentic Relating, you are choosing to learn
to be more you through play. The 5 agreements of Authentic Relating
create a framework that, when followed, creates a safe space to take
care of yourself in relation with others. Authentic Relating (AR)
differs from "typical" social contracts by illuminating the internal
implicit relational habits you've formed in your journey so far by
bringing them into the external explicit through a rich library of
games.

The five agreements;

1. Respect yourself.
2. Lean into your edge.
3. Stay present.
4. Confidentiality upon request.
5. Check your assumptions.

Before the class begins, I will go over the general principles of AR,
reflective listening skills and the 5 agreements. I believe it's
important to take the time to ensure that each person can ask any
clarifying question and understand the "why" of the agreements.

As many of these relating games can bring up strong emotions as you play with these implicit concepts, I have learned to set a non-negotiable pre-requisite of this class to be that you are able to meditate in self reflection for 3 minutes. This prerequisite is for your emotional safety. While I hope that this class is therapeutic for you, I am neither a trained therapist nor am I encouraging therapy or "trauma dumping" like interactions to happen during these classes. As a listener, it is always your right to stop any interaction you are not comfortable engaging in. "Respect yourself" is agreement number one for a reason.

If you choose to attend Authentic Relating this evening hosted by Gabriel SpringSnow LMT at 6PM, you are choosing to explore your implicit biases in how you relate to yourself and others through play.

After the external doors are closed at 6:05 I'll go over the 5 agreements of Authentic Relating (AR) to create a framework that, when followed, can create a safe space to take care of just yourself and trust that the "other" is doing the same. This "AR" space differs from the "autopilot" you experience daily by illuminating the relational habits we have all learned since growing into adulthood.

I charge $5 and here is the address: 1245 Charnelton St suite 8, Eugene, OR 97402

The five agreements;

Respect yourself.

Lean into your edge.

Stay present.

Confidentiality upon request.

Check your assumptions.

As many of the relating games can bring up strong emotions as you play with these concepts, I have learned to go over the "why" of each agreement every class with every student and have set a non-negotiable pre-requisite to be that you are able to meditate in self reflection for 3 minutes before beginning AR.

I do hope that this class is very therapeutic for you however, I am neither trained a therapists nor am I encouraging therapy to happen during these classes. If your intention is to non consensually "dump" your "stuff" on others, this is not the class for you and every person is welcome at any time to "take care of themselves" by concluding a conversation at any time. I do have a referral network of licensed therapists that I'd be happy to refer you to if that is a path you wish to pursue.

As the medical insurance companies continue to “do their thing” in giving providers like massage therapists head aches, I continue to offer “pay at time of service” bodywork at my downtown massage office at 1245 Charnelton St suite 8, Eugene, OR 97402.

To learn more about my best work, I've linked below is a link to a “3 series” example on my youtube playlist documenting a client's experience of their 3 session treatment.

All of my offered modalities and classes are on my youtube available for you review. Bonus points if you check out my 20 minute interview that I'm quite proud of with a Harvard professor on “polyvagal” theory.

Email is posted below for any direct questions you might have about my massage therapy and Community classes business.
