THE ART OF RELATING đ€đżâš
This was more than a live podcast experience. It was a living reminder that relationship is not something we simply stumble into. It is our birthright. A practice we cultivate, a study, an art, and a conscious way of living.
Held at La Maison Ralia, we gathered for an evening of honest conversation, reflection, and shared presence with Ben Mumme, Dylan Moscovitch, and Mariana Mae as we explored what it means to live in right relationship with ourselves, with time, our values, our kin, the ecosystems we are part of, and the natural world around us.
In a time where we are constantly connected, yet so many quietly feel disconnected, this space became an invitation to pause. To slow down enough to listen deeply, step beyond the noise and pace of everyday life, and return to what is true.
We explored how the art of relating begins within. It begins in the way we meet ourselves, hold our thoughts, honour our emotions, and tend to our inner world. From there, relationship extends into every part of life. It shapes how we move through time, what we choose to value, how we show up for those we love, and the role we play within the communities and ecosystems that hold us.
A heartfelt thank you elle imbeault for nourishing us through food prepared with so much love and intention, and to Brendan Baxter from Cocktail En Fût for the thoughtful mocktails that brought warmth and care to the evening.
A special thank you to đđ„đąđ đđŹđŠđđ§đšđŻ | Photographer âą Videographer for recording the live podcast experience and to Leana Paparella for capturing the heart of the night so beautifully.
We are equally grateful to La Maison Ralia for holding this vision so intentionally, and to Desiree Escalante Ruiz, Mya Pearle Nerenberg, and Dunia Darwiche for the care, presence, and support in bringing this experience to life.
And to everyone who showed up, friends, family, and new faces, thank you for your openness, honesty, and willingness to step into this space with heart.
These are the spaces that remind us of something essential. We are not alone. We are meant to gather, to listen, to grow, and to return again and again to the practice of relating more consciously.
Until next time, much love â€ïžâđ„
