The EVOLution of The Art of Relating
The Art of Relating was co-created in 2013 by Stacia Karina Beazley & Gero von Aderkas after 3 years of intimate relating. Their meeting was magnetic and they were instantly discovering vastly new fields of possibility within the realms of authentic, empowered and responsible human relating. So much so, they wanted to share it… hence the birth of The Art of Relating.
When we met, Gero was co-facilitating Boundaries & Freedoms and Realms of Intimacy Workshops with a colleague, alongside working as a Mental Health Nurse. Stacia had just completed her Holistic Counselling Studies, had commenced studies in Shamanic Practices and was working in the Mental Health and Education Research sectors. Together they had a lot of experience and skills to bring to the collective 'table'.
Their first offerings were focussed on Love, Intimacy and Relationship Dynamics with offerings such as Late Night Love LAB, Liberating Love and Open Community Forums. Their focus then naturally shifted to one that was more about the relationship with self; being the main relationship that impacts how we relate to everyone and everything around us.
Along the way they discovered the work of Possibility Management, deepened their relationship with Somatic Psychotherapy and Trauma-informed Practice and shifted to working within a Radically Responsible, Feelings-informed context.
Their signature offering, The Reclaiming Anger Program, was born in 2016 and it continues to be the core body of work that has touched the lives of over 500 people to date. In 2018 they hosted the first Possibility Management (PM) Trainers to come to Australia from Germany, and by 2021 had become two of the first three Australian PM Trainers.
In 2019 they launched their Artful Relating Series which were a regular appearance in Melbourne until the world lockdown began in 2020 and was the beginning of a significant change to their work and relationship.
In 2021, while on a working holiday in the Northern Rivers of NSW, Gero received news of his father's terminal illness back in Germany which instigated conversations, and later actions, for Gero to return to his homeland of Germany. This was a deeply beautiful and moving time where Stacia & Gero decided to part ways... for now.
We had completed our creations and time together and it was time for change.
Our relationship ended with as much reverence as it begun. We spent 2 weeks grieving together, appreciating our journey and creations before our final parting in August 2021.
Stacia is now the sole Director/Curator of The Art of Relating.
Our relationship, in all of the forms it has taken, has been integral in shaping who we are, and what The Art of Relating is today; creating non-judgmental, alive and transformative spaces where the possibilities for new insight, letting go, growth and expansion can bring about greater aliveness and vibrancy for your next steps in life.
