Authentic Connection
About your facilitator

Authentic Relating teaches us to be more present and open up to new possibilities within connection.

Portrait of facilitator Daniel Cully

Daniel has spent many years exploring practices that deepen self-awareness, connection and understanding of the human mind. His journey has included meditation, yoga, an Advanced Diploma of Transpersonal Counselling at Phoenix Institute, neurofeedback, and support roles at transformational events, where he was closely mentored by healer and master sound healer Liam LeKelle between 2013 and 2018.

Dan first encountered Authentic Relating at Confest in 2014, where he met his long-term mentor, Ryan Marwood. Since then, he has immersed himself in hundreds of workshops, facilitator trainings and group experiences within the Authentic Relating world.

For the past five years, he has facilitated monthly Authentic Relating Games nights alongside deeper immersive group trainings, continuing to develop a grounded, heartfelt and evolving approach to facilitation.

Daniel continues to immerse himself in ongoing training and is currently learning from Clare Dea, exploring her adaptation of the Meisner acting technique. Clare's modality has been refined specifically for Authentic Relating and for people who want to expand their capacity to express and experience emotions more fully.

Dan sees this work as an ongoing journey rather than a destination or a state of perfection. This attitude is reflected in the way he facilitates: with a willingness to be present, to keep learning, and to meet each moment with sincerity, curiosity and groundedness.

The practice

Three directions of connection.

01

Self

Notice your inner experience with greater curiosity, honesty and compassion. Learn to recognise what is happening within you and bring it into relationship.

02

Others

Develop practical skills for authentic communication, listening, boundaries, vulnerability and navigating the moments that matter.

03

Community

Discover what becomes possible when people intentionally cultivate trust, presence, belonging and genuine human connection.
