Love, Sex & Relationship

a conversation in sacred space

A sacred space conversation for adults interested in exploring the topics of love, intimacy, sexuality and relationships of all kinds.

Our sacred space conversation will go all over the map. We’ll journey through many topics and hear from each other.   We will explore all aspects of relating and relationship as well as esoteric, spiritual, and practical relative content.   With no allegiance to any particular modality, lifestyle or choice we’ll hold a curious tone such that we discover for ourselves what we feel, believe, need and desire.

We begin by settling in, quieting the mind with my Tibetan Bowls and a short prayer to set the space. By sharing from the heart, in sacred space, we create a strong
field in which we feel safe, held and heard. Rather than a talk or lecture or presentation- its a warmly facilitated  round table discussion designed to deepen us and open the way for depth process, healing, insight and ultimately transformation.

I teach circle practices such as offering touch and supportive presence for one another, in particular with our tender hearted and vulnerable shares. We practice empathy, good listening, witness practices including staying grounded in the presence of emotional energy or heightened states. I consider these basic and essential ‘life skills’ to any group and community with interest is in depth, transparency and genuine authenticity as basic values and group norms.

I feel the skills we develop in this format, are essential life skills which serve and support us individually and collectively. We are getting smarter together,
while building strengths and resources that are vital to evolving culture and community coherence. Normal guidelines apply: no cross talking or commenting on peoples shares, no advice or fixing, we agree to confidentiality and to hold one another’s shares and experience with curiosity, respect and privacy.

There are some important distinctions to be named here. There are 2 types of sharing in circle space. One is sharing from the heart with uninterrupted time for heart
and personal shares. “I” statements and personal in nature sharing are invited rather than stories, events, details not pertinent to the authentic inner experience. The other type of relating is a more conversational sharing and open topic discussion. This is all warmly facilitated and masterfully guided such that we don’t default into the poorly mannered, automatic or unconscious relational skills which always crash group field.
