Bay Area Singles Relational Lab - Facilitated Connection Experience
Mon, Aug 10, 1:00 AM# Tired of dating apps culture and surface-level? This is different. And people often leave surprised by how quickly strangers can feel human, warm, honest, and real again. Free to RSVP, 👉 $59 to confirm your spot [https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/stayconnected](https://consciousconnectionsclub.com/join) Relational Labs is a guided connection experience for singles who want more honest, playful, emotionally intelligent interaction — without performance, pressure, or endless small talk. This is not speed dating. Not networking. Not “pitch yourself to strangers.” It’s a facilitated relational container rooted in psychology, emotional intelligence, attachment work, social dynamics, nervous system awareness, and real-world human connection — made practical enough that you can actually live it instead of reading another 50 books about it. ## What happens • A 2-hour guided online relational experience • Real-time connection exercises designed to create authentic interaction • A format that adapts in real time to whoever is present • Optional participant-led in-person continuation afterward • WhatsApp connection thread after the session ## This may be for you if: • You’re tired of shallow or repetitive social spaces • You want deeper connection without forced intimacy • You enjoy personal growth, psychology, communication, or relational work • You’re open to meeting people in a more intentional way ## Important This experience runs with whoever is present and takes its own shape each time. Sometimes expansive. Sometimes intimate. Both are the real thing.

In Person Family Constellation in Berkeley
Sun, Aug 16, 9:00 PM**Join this Family Constellation held in Berkeley CA.** A Family Constellation puts a family system into the physical space where we can discover entanglements deeply entrenched in a family's trauma and identity. Family Constellations may give insight into the root causes of our limiting beliefs, such as uncovering an unconscious loyalty to an ancestor. When it’s out in the open, we can see the throughlines. See the root causes. Find openings to resolution. At the heart of Family Constellations are two main tenets: 1. Acknowledging what is: The group work may highlight limiting beliefs or those unconscious and deeply entrenched rules that defined how we first belonged. Uncovering the beliefs is the first pivotal step towards change. 2. Bringing forth radical inclusion: Family Constellations are guided by the Orders of Love. Part of the work may be to bring back someone who has been forgotten (whether they were purposefully written out of the family history or because remembering was too painful). Once identified, the work is to restore them to their right place in the family system. Similar to epigenetics where traumatic events literally change the trajectory of a family's DNA coding, Family Constellations can shift foundational beliefs so that the client and their descendants can move toward freedom. Yvette holds monthly in person Family Constellations. To find out additional dates, please message her.
