From Longing to Loving: A Bioenergetics Path Towards Intimacy

New dates to be announced.

Do you seek more intimacy in your life – either through a loving relationship or more connection with family and/or friends?

Have you experienced isolation during the pandemic which has left you feeling lonely?

Do you want help improving your relationship with yourself?

This workshop is for people seeking all types of intimacy, to clarify what you seek and to work through blocks of having what you desire. We will build a community of support to explore your desires, your beliefs, and your messages about intimacy. We will focus on your boundaries, both setting limits and reaching out, along with the actions you may need to take to have more of what you want. Join us for a body/mind experiential exploration to help you on your path!
