Register here: https://momenc e.com/l/6khdrLZAWelcome to a twice-monthly drop-in Relatefulness practice with Josh Rosenberg and Daniel Ricciardelli.A close friend of relational p ractices like Circling™\, Authentic Relating\, and T-Group\, Relatefulne ss is an exploration of what is honestly coming up in the present moment a s we relate to the others in the group. We will notice our relational patt erns\, emotions\, body sensations\, and other aspects of our experience. W e'll name what we notice and share it with the group to help all of us mor e clearly see each other and our broader social reality.Relatefulness has value as a complement to traditional meditation practices. By placing awar eness on ourselves\, in connection with each other\, in a collective group \, we can:Discover new\, more enjoyable ways of relating to our experience and to one another.Take our personal growth insights and test drive them in an interpersonal context.Find healing connection by being deeply seen a nd understood.This practice tends to bring us to the edge of what we're ab le to hold in our awareness. Because of this\, participants are invited to take care of themselves as needed\, either by stepping away from the expe rience if need be or by leading us into a new way of being with each other .Logistics:There is a large\, free parking lot at The AlembicDoors close a t 6:35 sharpThis event usually sells out — please register to reserve yo ur spot!Tickets are sliding scale\, $10-$25\, suggested donation is $15Jos h Rosenberg (he/him) is a certified facilitator through the Relateful Com pany training program.

Stories\, plans\, explanations\, reactions —these patterns are so normal that we barely notice just how much we rel ate to one another through the lens of the past and the future.But when th ose habits pause\, something surprising occurs.The room changes.Attention sharpens.A different kind of connection begins to emerge.A small clearing inside awareness opens—a place where no future is rehearsing itself and no echoes from the past are allowed to enter. We can touch this space in s olo contemplative practices\, but it’s rare to enter it with others.The Present Moment Game is a simple social meditation designed to explore that possibility.For one hour\, a small group agrees to step into this clearin g and stay inside the moment. What unfolds is often unexpected—and never the same twice.We call it a game because it can be playful. But it’s al so something more: an invitation to discover what becomes possible when a group of people agree to be fully here\, now\, together.Curious to learn m ore?

Inspired in part by the linguistic principles of E-Prime\, she added a few simple constraints that gently guide conversa tion away from the past and future and into what's happening right now.The result is The Present Moment Game\, a playful yet profound invitation to explore what it means to really be together in community\, right here\, no w.Learn more:www.thepresentmomentgame.comInstagram: @thepresentmomentgame LAST-MODIFIED:20260905T002843Z X-SOURCE-NAME:The Berkeley Alembic Public Calendar X-SOURCE-URL:https://www.berkeleyalembic.org END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
