About - Relational Spaces

What is

Relational Spaces?

Relational Spaces is an urban center for Relational Practices and Embodied Leadership, located in Copenhagen. We see loneliness, disembodiment, stress and lack of connection as some of the most prevalent issues in contemporary society and are dedicated to creating spaces where these issues can be healed, through increased relational awareness, presence and embodiment.

In service of deeper human connection

Since we opened our doors in the middle of a pandemic in April 2021 we promote practices that enable humans to relate more harmoniously; to themselves, to other people, to society and to nature. Simple, pragmatic practices that invite people to reconnect with themselves and others. Practices that help people unlearn and let go of patterns, tensions and ideas that don’t serve them anymore.

What is

Our vision

We create spaces where human relations can play out in all their beauty. Spaces for aliveness, presence and embodiment.

What is

Our mission

We want to bring people back to their senses and emotions through connective experiences and events.

What is

Our methodology

We promote pragmatic and practical practices that help people to discover and explore themselves as they are right now.

Who creates

Relational Spaces?

The co-creators of relational spaces are dedicated to bring the practices which they have been trained in to our members and workshop participants. We founded the association with a group of 8 people in December 2020 and put hundreds of hours into making the basement we are in the cozy space that it is now.

We are aiming to live from what we are offering in Relational Spaces, and still, by spring 2022 no one have gotten paid from the classes and workshops which are part of the membership. Most of the co-creators have jobs aside, and while some have an income from giving treatments or doing courses in RS we are still not at a level where it is a sustainable business.

We hope to make it a self-sustaining business by end of 2022 and be able to pay some of the co-creators who are putting in many hours into cleaning, developing, marketing and relating.

What the media writes about us

Pandemien tog fællesskabet fra os. Jeg tog i følelsernes fitnesscenter for at finde det igen

Ensomheden har sat sig i os efter to års nedlukning, så hvor går man hen, hvis samhørigheden med andre ikke bare kommer af sig selv?

Vi er 15 mennesker i rummet, og det er ved at blive lidt hedt. Det er ikke så meget temperaturen, der stiger, som det er intensiteten. Vi er opdelt i grupper af tre, og vi må ikke sige noget. Lige nu skal vi bare sidde sammen. Helt stille i flere minutter. Den eneste, der af og til taler, er Einar. Han er svensk og ligner Viggo Mortensen i Ringenes Herre, og med sin rolige stemme guider han de små grupper gennem aftenens workshop i circling. En selvudviklingsmetode, der handler om nærvær, om gode, ærlige relationer og forbundethed med andre. Vejen dertil går gennem en god og ærlig kontakt med dig selv, og det er det, der er opgaven lige nu i vores små triader rundtomkring på de persiske tæpper på gulvet. Vi skal rette opmærksomheden indad og virkelig mærke efter. Igen og igen minder Einar os om det spørgsmål, der er kernen i circling: “Hvordan er det at være dig lige nu?”
