Does it feel like your partner never listens to you, can’t see or hear who you truly are?
Do you find yourself lost trying to fix your partner, give them advice they don’t take, or making yourself responsible for their discomfort?
When we love our partner and are attuned to their emotional and mental states…when they’re not good, we’re not good.
We have to learn how to hold ourselves apart from them, hold space for whatever they’re going through, and support one another through what we’re experiencing in life.
Join me for an hour long workshop where I will guide you through:
A holding space training
An embodied sense of what holding space for someone feels like and what it’s like for it to be held for you
My most effective and efficient communication and connection practice: Desires, Fears, Loves
Whether you're in a new relationship or one that’s been through some things, this experience will train you how to hold space for one another, request and offer specific communication, embody deeply seeing and hearing your partner, and cultivate the experience of being deeply seen, heard, known, and supported.
FOR COUPLES IN ALL BODIES, OF ALL EXPRESSIONS, AND IN ALL RELATIONSHIP DYNAMICS WHO WANT TO DEEPLY CONNECT, REKINDLE, & FEEL RADIANT AND ALIVE
HERE IS WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT:
CREATE YOUR SPACE: Once you arrive, you’ll be invited to create a spot where your partner and you feel comfortable enough together. This isn’t your private space, and these will be practices you can take home. For this event, you might set up two chairs, sit on a yoga mat together, or among blankets on the floor (these are provided). It’s your choice.
INTRO: I will introduce myself, and I will not invite you to introduce yourself to everyone else. This is a workshop for the two of you and not a group workshop.
SHIFT TO CONNECT TO SELF: We’ll begin with a guided meditation for meeting yourself and resourcing within the space.
HOLDING SPACE TRAINING: Our communication and connection-based practice will invite you to take turns being the sharer and the listener with instructions through five rounds each of playful, embodied experience.
SHARE: The invitation will be for your partner and you to take a few minutes to share what you noticed, what you experienced, what was uncomfortable, what felt too familiar of a habit.
DESIRES, FEARS, LOVES: Continuing with verbal guidance from me, together you’ll move through a communication and connection practice that involves holding space and taking turns inside of a structured exercise asking each other through three rounds:
“What do you desire around our relationship?”
“What do you fear around our relationship?”
“What do you love about me?”
SHIFT: A gentle shift out of the energy practices will come with an invitation to hug, cuddle, or touch if both of you feel open to it.
TAKE IT HOME: We’ll finish as I give you a sense of what to expect in the afterglow of this experience and how to take it home with you, including where you can find more information around starting a Sex Practice. You’ll receive an email from me within 24 hours with guided audios and additional offerings for support.
