Intimacy Technology Community Training
Intimacy skills are necessary for living our complex, fast-paced modern society, where virtually everything we do is based on relationships -- our business, family, art, social justice, and protecting our planet. To do all the amazing things we want to do with our precious life, we need to interact well with others.
We start the day's practice with Self-Intimacy:
You will learn 3 simple mindful embodiment practices that utilize your breath, movement, voice, and (solo) touch.
Setting and Maintaining Boundaries, here, is a practice using concrete physical actions to attune ourselves to our intuition and our edges so we can clearly, and confidently communicate them, without apologizing for what we need.

Negotiating for Sexual Success isn't about pressuring another person to acquiesce or "go along." It is all about stating clearly what you want, what you are available for, and inviting someone in to participate with you.
For most of us, conflict is difficult. For some of us, conflict is dangerous.
Exploring Conflict to Deepen Intimacy and Make Amends is more than just saying you're sorry. It is a process for naming behaviors that hurt, acknowledging the impact, striving toward healing and resolution while holding our humanity as core.
You will walk away from this Intimacy Technology Day with written formulas for exploring conflict and asking for what you want.
---> This is an interactive, clothing-on practice day.

The Community Training Day is a place to practice our intimacy skills in community, to get better together. Most of us western humans have been taught that these interactions are only for certain kinds of people — sexual partners, lovers, spouses, and only some close friends. We take these crucial conversations and skills out of the private realm and into a communal space of care to diminish any stigma or shame and dispel the myth that we have to limit who can see us as full, whole, amazing humans.
Our day will include embodiment practice — getting present in our body and naming our felt sensorial experience. This will include some simple, non-sexual touch, movement, breath work, and group discussion. This is a hands-on, clothing on class.
