The Masks We Wear: Exploring Authenticity in Relationships
The Masks We Wear: Exploring Authenticity in Relationships
In a world where masks are often necessary to navigate social expectations, how do we cultivate genuine connection?
Join us for an empowering evening of insight, reflection, and conversation.
This workshop explores the roles and facades we adopt—why we wear them, how they’ve helped us survive, and how they may be keeping us from deeper, more aligned relationships.
We’ll explore how early messages, gendered conditioning, or unsafe relational experiences can cause us to disconnect from our true selves—and how reclaiming authenticity can feel both risky and freeing.
Together, we’ll also take time to get honest about what we want, need, and value in our relationships, and how we can begin showing up more congruently in our lives.
You will learn:
• How to recognize the roles and masks you wear in different relationships
• Why these protective strategies developed and how they once served you
• How to safely practice authenticity and vulnerability
• How to spot authenticity (or lack of it) in others
• Tools to build more aligned, meaningful connections—starting with yourself
This gathering is for any woman who wants to live, love, and lead from a place of deeper truth and emotional integrity.

Redefining Toxic Relationships: Recognizing patterns and dynamics
What does it really mean to be in a toxic relationship?
This workshop invites you to look inward—exploring how self-awareness and body wisdom can help you recognize unhealthy dynamics. By tuning into what your body and intuition are telling you, you can discern whether discomfort comes from personal wounds being triggered or from the genuine suffering of an unhealthy relationship.
Our expert panelists will discuss patterns that lead to toxic interactions, including compulsions to carry others’ responsibilities, cravings to be rescued, and the ways unresolved wounds make toxic relationships feel familiar—even comfortable.
Through reflection and discussion, you’ll learn how to exercise boundaries that create safety, recognize when you’re out of alignment with your values, and break free from cycles of unhealthy connection. Whether in friendships, family, or romantic relationships, this class will give you the tools to foster self-trust, empowerment, and relationships rooted in mutual respect and growth.
