What It Is

Freely Intimate is a practice space for exploring and learning to create a new understanding about our desires in relationship to our intimate partnership. We’re playing with our relationship to intimacy, which requires honesty and vulnerability. If you and your partner are showing up to explore intimacy for 6 weeks, chances are, a LOT is going well, even though it may not always feel that way in day to day. We’re going to hold that tension of “a lot is going well” alongside “we want it to feel different.” Both/And. Freely Intimate is for people that think it might be fun or enlightening to play with and examine the different components of intimacy in hopes of having more of it! All of the practices are extended as invitations and based in consent.

Freely Intimate is a space to allow ourselves to be fully seen as we are (without judgement or being defined by our relationship to other people). A key element of our inquiry into intimacy, while supportive of and designed to enhance partner relationships, is to find greater connection to the self. Intimacy is, in our eyes, another tool in connecting and exploring your knowledge of yourself.

Freely Intimate is an invitation to explore our own role in facilitating deeper intimacy in our relationships and ourselves. Each person’s takeaways and learnings will be different and individual to them, and, we’ll also feel the commonality in our desires. Often, the offering will be to drop the pre-existing stories we have about intimacy, seeing them with fresh eyes as opportunities to learn.

Freely Intimate is a flexible and evolving container. While the commitment is to the six Zoom calls, we may offer additional space for individual or group calls as needed or desired by the group. The six week arc outlined here may also shift according to the needs of the group. We want to evolve the offering in a responsive manner that reflects the areas of rich exploration for this group of individuals/couples and best supports the needs of the members of the container.
