what this is…
Intimacy - we all want it, and yet, the word itself is loaded. We each have our own definition and individual needs and expression of intimacy.
If you’re struggling with trust, vulnerability, or feeling disconnected in your relationships or just want a richer understanding of your own intimacy landscape, join us for an exploratory process where we’ll break it down. We’ll explore all the facets of intimacy that are unique to you so that cultivating deeper connections can come with more ease.
WHO IS THIS FOR? This is for you if you're feeling unfulfilled or having trouble connecting in platonic and/or romantic relationships. If you're going through a transition like breakup, divorce, opening up your relationship, or want to deepen connection in existing relationship(s). This is to discover what's possible outside of conditioned norms.
This workshop is inclusive and welcoming to people of all backgrounds and relationship statuses. Whether you're single, in a relationship, or exploring different types of connections, the concepts of intimacy apply universally.
WHAT WE’LL BE DOING You’ll create your own “intimacy map” that will serve as a guide. This guide will offer more context and insight into your personal landscape of intimacy and relating. By integrating self-awareness exercises & discussions in partner & small group cohorts, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of your own needs around connection based on your personal experiences and perspectives.
