intimacy with self – playshop
sunday, 12th jan
10am-5pm
To us intimacy means getting to know your own thoughts, feelings and sensations really well and building a strong and compassionate relationship with your whole self.
This workshop invites you to listen Inward and honour your own wisdom, at times we invite you to practice with other participants with the invitation to notice how this changes your internal experience.
Our intimacy with self playshop will involve some gentle and always optional practices such as,
– Some somatic guided meditations
– Some active listening and sharing practices
– Somatic Practices that involve 2 people engaging in together whilst both listening Inward – practicing the micro skills of noticing, trusting and communicating, for example noticing what eye contact feels like for you in this moment and whether you’d like your eyes open or closed.
Again, any practice is still a practice if you choose to do it on your own or to sit it out – your no is welcome and valued here 🙂
There won’t be any touch exchanged with other participants during this workshop.
The day will be spacious, gentle and with lots of time for installation and reflection.
What does it mean to notice and connect with yourself?
How does this intimacy with self ripple into your relationships with others?
Do these inquiries in itself overwhelm you?
Curious?
We live in a world where we are constantly taught to outsource everything.
Many of us rely on hopping from one romantic relationship to another or forced to feed into the culture of materialism and consumerism to feel SOMETHING, anything.
Because collectively we often have no idea how to be with ourselves, get to know all parts of us, learn to value and cherish our unique wholeness and swim to the depths of our own being.
It’s within those places where we learn to listen to our gut, heart and soul. Where we learn to feel, to cultivate the most intimate relationship of them all, the one you have with yourself ✨ (Self) ✨
