A lot of people ask: “What actually happens in an Authentic Communication Group?”
Kan Yan will be hosting a free demo session where you’ll see a real group in action. If you’ve been curious about what an Authentic Communication Group is actually like, now is the time to see how it really works.
You have two ways to participate:
Volunteer participant: You’ll participate in the group for a full 90-minute session. This isn’t a roleplay – you’ll work with real interpersonal dynamics.
Observer: You’ll watch the whole thing unfold – how the group works. You’ll get the architecture from the outside and have time to ask questions at the end.
Here’s the agenda:
15 min: Brief overview of how ACG works (structure, principles, why this matters)
90 min: Live demo with volunteer participants
15 min: Q&A for both participants and observers
If you’re curious about joining an ongoing group or just wanting to understand what authentic communication actually looks like, this is for you..
Cost: Free
Date: 02-June-2026
