Build Community as Intimacy Pioneers - Shift in Perspective

As men and women, we all seek similar goals of connection and intimacy, authentic communication, trust and respect, sexual pleasure and bliss. So why is it so challenging to give and receive the medicine that is needed? ? Where is the resonance, what are the similarities, and how do we bridge the differences that exist between us?

Join us as we explore the interplay between masculine and feminine and learn how to better communicate with the opposite sex. In this meet up we will have a chance to “listen in” to same sex conversations and develop a deeper understanding and respect for our similarities and differences. We will learn how to access and embody our own masculine and feminine energy and find new ways to enhance our intimacy and communication skills. Singles and couples welcome!

Cost is $20 in advance/ $25 at the door
