On Genuine & Synthetic Human Connection

Lately I've been reflecting on the nature of human connection and the types of connection we experience when the world is moving too fast. Synthetic connection is fast: a comment, a DM that dissolves the second you close the app. It feels like contact, but it doesn't feed us.

We might have 500 of these in a day and still feel hollow.

Genuine connection is slower asks for presence, eye contact, a willingness to be seen without editing yourself first.

So today, I invite you to check in:

→ What does a moment of genuine human connection look like for you today?

→ Does it feel safe? Can you receive it? Can you share it?

→ Before you even get to another person — what's your connection to yourself today? What have you been doing that brings you back to you? What does that feel like in your body?

Sit with those for a second before you move on with today.

Here's what I know: you can't offer the world genuine connection from a self you've abandoned.

The relationship with yourself is the template for every other one.

This is exactly what we're working with in our upcoming workshop, Embodied Authorship. It is a way of harmonizing with the author, narrator, and main character within. We'll embrace somatic listening, soul-writing, and active imagination coming back into your body and your own voice before you try to reach anyone else.

With warmth,
