The Energetics of Intimacy, Attachment and Sexuality

Discovering the subtleties of relating intimately

Presented by Ariel Giarretto 

This workshop examines:  “What happens in myself, my body, and my being in relation to others?”

Open to:

• Individuals, either coupled or not, and actively sexual or not

• Anyone wanting to heal attachment wounds, hoping to learn to receive and give love and pleasure in new and profound ways

• Couples wanting to improve their physical and emotional intimacy

• People hoping to find satisfying relationships, or for 

• Therapists who work with any of the above

  This 3 day workshop focuses on connection to self, the heart and the body, while being in proximity with others. You do not need to be in couple relationship to get great benefit from this program. Nor does your partner need to be present. This workshop is open to partners or colleagues of somatic participants who are not professionals.

  It helps us experience the subtle and not-so-obvious ways we engage intimately, and how to open to new and yet-to-be explored possibilities of joy and pleasure.

  We’ll combine lectures, videos, the latest research, small group discussions, movement and dance, plus an array of gentle, respectful exercises to make for a rich and varied program. Mindful embodiment, sensation tracking and self-touch explorations are core practices as we get comfortable with the body as the ultimate “experiencer”. The goal is clearer boundaries, increased pleasure, self-acceptance and self-love, and greater freedom to explore your sexy self playfully in new and different ways, without shame.

  After the weekend, participants will:

  • come away with a clearer understanding of the subtle levels of relating that occur under conscious awareness

  • recognize and reduce triggers, enabling genuine wants and needs to emerge…..and learn to communicate these effectively

  • learn tools for staying present and embodied

  • identify deep desires and yearnings, and notice what gets in the way of opening to them

  • practice asking for what you want, and learning to receive 

  Topics we will cover include all of the above, plus:

  • Further exploration of boundaries

  • Identify genuine “yeses” and “noes”, as well as “turn-ons” and “turn-offs” in intimacy. 

  • Learn about your ”erotic style”

  • The basics of sensual touch for both women and men (fully clothed) 

  plus many more!
