Too often, love and intimacy are taken for granted - as if you don’t need to study it, or give it any conscious thought. The messaging around relationships in media often tells us that if you love someone, that is all you need. That it's enough to go out behind the barn and just do it, I guess. But in these times of conscious living and wanting more out of our relationships, marriages, and lives, we know getting good at something takes effort. We cannot only offer crumbs to one of the most foundational pillars of our happiness.
Intimacy is a skill like any other. It is teachable and learnable, and after a weeklong retreat with me, you will be firmly facing towards progress. Our intimacy retreats are an investment in your happiness, bringing you closer to a lifetime of pleasure and connection. Who we are, is who we bring to the relationship. And knowing yourself, being real with yourself, noticing what you are experiencing—which changes moment to moment—is what you will learn to communicate to a partner. This blossoming is an exciting new adventure.
Each experiential exercise brings home the responsibility to be yourself. Each activity gives you more information on who you are, while relating to another. You will get grounded in researching, trusting and expressing your truth as it changes from moment to moment. Most of us are not trained in this, we are used to hiding—especially in sex and intimacy. No longer! We have been there, done that, and we are ready to grow and own our truth. With me you will learn a new practice in self expression, as I give you the tools to move forward. You will be surprised at how easy and fun these skills are to learn. You will be surprised how quickly you can change your sticky dynamics, both with yourself and your loved ones. Change your loving, for the better, forever.
