Community Nights

Couples come together and develop skills, presence, awareness, a sense of closeness as an intentional approach toward intimacy. Like yoga or learning to play a musical instrument intimacy is a learned skill. Regular attention and in depth exercises strengthen your capacity to live a life of joy and connection each day. What can you expect?

Recent Themes:

• How do you balance control and surrender?
• Explore your identity as a giver and receiver in relationship.
• Practice feeling before acting to connect with your desires and boundaries while affirming your autonomy and verticality.
• Deepen your connection with yourself and your partner.
• Leading and following between partners. Is either more familiar or comfortable?

A typical evening might include:

• Welcome and intro:  Who else decided to join you tonight and what are we going to do?
• Warm up activity:  We get the ball rolling with a flavor of what’s to come.
• Main/Core practice:  This may include a single activity or several related to the main theme.
• Large Group Discussion and pulling it all together. Share if you want or just listen. We cover:
  .  What? What exactly did we just do?
  .  So what? Did you discover anything personally relevant?
  .  Now what? Possibilities for further exploration on your own.
  .  We may offer thoughts for reflection.
• Closing:  A way to mark our ending.
• Linger if you like:  Some say meeting new friends is the best part.
