Deepening intimacy (rolle)
Exploring becoming more of you in all your relationships
Three modules make up this programme of "Deepening Intimacy" - that's intimacy with you and your body, with other, and with Life.
MODULE 1: BOUNDARIES & EMPATHY
* 3 October - Energy, somatic re-sourcing, needs, boundaries, enhancing sensitivity, exploring what is intimacy, risks and fears & support
MODULE 2: EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
* 14 November - Emotional processing and holding space for emotions, acknowledging, reassuring & integrating
MODULE 3: PLEASURE
* 5 December - Wheel of Consent, self-pleasure, desires and boundaries
Although each module builds on the last and makes up a series, it's possible to attend 1 or 2 for those already on the path of conscious relating through self-awareness.
You’re done with playing safe, acting small, adapting and hiding your real self, in order to fit in, be accepted and loved. You want to feel trust, courage and freedom to show up with all of you - old wounds, fears and inner critic included. The difference from before is that you come now with a whole bunch of self-worth, self-awareness and tools to move through the fears and old patterns, to consciously build connection and understanding.
You want to be able to know and name your desires, your needs and your boundaries.
You’re longing for more meaningful and authentic relating where heart, soul and sex can be navigated with respect.
You long to feel ease and trust to relax in your body, in the presence of others, intimate with the now moment.
This is our intention together through "Conscious Connecting : Deepening Intimacy."
Resilience, authenticity, charisma, vitality, intimacy, integrity, inner power, inner peace, courage, greater capacity to love and serve ……. the list goes on. This is what you get when you’re intimate with all of you.
And when YOU are intimate with all of YOU, you can show up to create true intimacy with another.
What do we mean by intimacy?
Intimacy is about meeting yourself, and perhaps another person, as you are, authentic, real, honest and vulnerable, open to see and feel what is and what wants to happen, with full presence and without any attachment to the outcome.
The thing is we’ve got to PRACTICE this. We need to feel and vibrate this in our own bodies, with real experiences, in a safe space, to bring ourselves into more ALIVENESS and choice. And we need to support each other to do this.
Good news is, it can be a LOT OF FUN and highly LIBERATING!
* How do I stay open to feel and accept all parts of me and not shut down?
* How do I explore and express different parts of me without creating distance from other / my partner?
* How can I create more connection, safety and intimacy?
* How can I accept and welcome and love all parts of me/my partner?
The answer actually lies in feeling more and holding loving space for each other.
Imagine being fully seen, heard, and accepted for all you are.
We all need that. We can BECOME that for ourselves and for others. If we’re in conscious relationship, then we can learn to become this together.
So welcome to our Conscious Connecting series: Deepening Intimacy.
What's the concept of conscious connecting?
- It’s a fun evening out, meeting people who, like you, enjoy authentic, meaningful, mature and heart-centered connections.
- It’s a facilitated and highly experiential journey, so you get to explore and learn something new that might just transform your life and your relationships.
- It’s a personal experience in a group, which accelerates your awareness of yourself, how you relate, what you want, and gives you direct practice of conscious connecting.
- We make clear agreements, and everything is by invitation. We take care of each other and you choose what feels good to you.
- We shake and dance a bit and make some funny noises, to get into our bodies and loosen up any stiffness from the week.
- We explore in many different ways around the theme of the evening. We share something of our experience. We listen to each other. We relax. We feel. We expand. We open our hearts.
- We all bring a little something to eat and drink together and be social.
