The Authentic Field

This is an experimental, trans-lineage meeting space exploring how intelligence arises through relationship. Here we gather in a spirit of curiosity and reverent wonder, practicing peer-to-peer inquiry, deep listening, and embodied attunement. Rather than following a fixed method or teacher-centric path, we allow the relational field itself to guide us, revealing new understandings as they emerge. Rooted in diverse wisdom traditions yet evolving through our shared presence, this living field invites sincere companions to explore how Being expresses through us for mutual growth, service, and the unfolding of a more harmonious human future.

Ways We Co-Create a Reliable Container

Staying attuned
Sense the other’s emotional state and timing.

Being personal and real
Speak from your immediate experience.

Taking risks
Share what is true even if it feels vulnerable.

Sensing your body
Stay grounded in somatic presence.

Staying curious
Treat the other person’s inner world as a universe to explore.

Naming the relational field
Notice what is happening between you, not just inside you.

Responding to the person in front of you
Not to an idea, a memory, or a projection.

Letting the field change you
The field is a teacher.

Attacking, judging, or criticizing
These close the field.

Therapizing the other
No analyzing, diagnosing, or interpreting.

Attempting to read each other psychically
No claims about what the other “really” feels or intends.

Dominating the conversational space
Mutuality is essential.

Forcing connection
Let the field develop naturally.

Limiting eros to sexuality
Stay with the energetic, relational dimension.

Aiming for outcomes
Inquiry is not about solving problems.

Faking openness
If you’re closed, inquire into the closure.
