Body, Heart & Soul 3

Being Intimate

(7 days)


"Being intimate can be natural spiritual practice; opening deeply with another, you open to the infinite." Alan

Being intimate is the very essence of love-relationship, and the third part of Body, Heart & Soul® is a practical and beautiful adventure in learning how to keep on being here with your love partner.

Many of us have habitual ways of undermining or even preventing intimacy - by cutting off, closing down or becoming defensive at certain key moments. Sometimes we simply don't know how to be intimate even though it's what we really want. So during this week there are daily sessions in which you can be with the partner of your choice as intimately as you desire, with a supporting process that keeps you continuously with each other no matter what is happening. The result is that you encounter whatever ways you have of sabotaging intimacy. You learn instead how to remain open and connected in the critical moments. If you come with your partner you will probably choose to go through the entire week with each other. If you come alone you may find yourself choosing the same partner throughout the week or being with different people. The learning opportunities are in any case profound.
It is important to point out that the degree of intimacy that happens between you and your partner is as you choose. There is a very specific and powerful supporting process for those who choose to be sexually intimate, and equally clear support and guidance no matter in what other ways partners choose to be together. The point is to learn anyway how to enable real intimacy to happen when you seek it, not only during the workshop, but from now on in your life.

As much as you wish during the intimacy sessions, and in any case during the full group sessions, there is continual support and tuition in how to keep being there with your partner and to honour your own needs and feelings as you do so.
  • You learn how to keep on connecting from your truth and to remain alive in your playfulness, your passion, your desire and even in your fears and darker places, instead of cutting off and isolating yourself
  • Your encounters are sometime more and sometimes less sensual and erotic. You learn to trust and accept the changing states that you move through in yourself and with your partner. In this way you learn how to move through old barriers that have prevented or sabotaged your intimate connections and love relationships
  • Your energy has natural wave-like rhythms of excitement and relaxation: in the trust that is created in these intimate encounters, you are able to explore and practise connecting so that you are always in harmony with the natural flow of your own energy
  • As a couple you are no longer left alone with difficulties that arise between you. You receive the loving support of an entire community to help you find your way through, giving you resources that you take home with you to use in your relationship from now on.
