I think there's some subtlety to the language here.
Based on what I understand the author is talking about I specifically think the term "create" in particular might be inexact. "create" implies making something from scratch but I don't think that's what's intended.
"establish" might be better since what is sought is to bring to life the deep and meaningful human connection that is already there.
What I mean is, is that as humans we all share the human experience and we all have more in common than we differ. The purpose of this school of thought seems to be to help build on that and open our minds to that.

I tried to find more information about AR and found AR international training website, where they (do not really) describe their approach. They seem to be inspired by Fritz Perls and his Gestalt therapy, but that's itself a complicated view of human psychology. It's not clear what parts of Gestalt psychology they accept. It's all just too vague. I wouldn't call it a school of thought. Gestalt certainly is though! They also seem to overpromise a bit, to say the least, in introductions to their trainings. It's ridiculous actually for a weekend workshop. https://www.authenticrelatingtraining.com/level-1 https://www.authenticrelatingtraining.com/level-1
