Intimacy workshop

Introduction to Intimacy is an experiential workshop, comprised of exercises and group sharing rather than lecture, in which participants explore ways of increasing intimacy in their lives. The tools offered can be taken to the family, workplace, and to casual relationships as well as partnerships. Guided by the facilitators (Eric often works with partners), participants create a safe, trusting environment which acts as a laboratory for exploration into intimacy.

Issues explored:

	Safety: How can we create safety around us so that we can be ourselves, where our vulnerability will be honoured?
	Choice: How often do we relinquish our choice and do "what is expected of us?" The workshop helps us examine our relationship to choice, how we can increase our awareness of choice, and expand our choices in our day-to-day lives.
	Communication: The workshop exercises look at focus, active listening, responding without fixing, sharing time.
	Intimacy: What is love? What is Intimacy? What are we saying when we hug? What is the person saying who is hugging us? How can we make a space of safety for people to express themselves?

The workshop may be as short as two hours, or expanded to a day-long, with additional processes to explore in greater depth. If you wish to learn more about this workshop, or host one, please contact Eric.
