We will dance, play and explore together, all while bringing more and more awareness and love to what's happening in relationship to one another. We will play with our edges to both go within and reveal ourselves, as well as experiencing ecstatic bliss and innocent, child-like play. 👨‍👨‍👧‍👦‍‍‍ Authentic Culture Cultivation 👩‍👩‍👧‍👦 We will build a culture of trust by speaking the truth. We will care for each other's hearts and experience the solidarity of knowing that we're all in the same boat. You will experience unity by seeing yourself mirrored in everything and everyone. This is a brave environment in which you are invited to bring your deepest desires and greatest fears of connection. Here we can coexist in a delightful mix of attraction, aversion, grief, gratitude, and more. Our collective intention is to love and welcome whatever arises in and between us with open arms. Our shared aliveness, zest for life, and powerful self-expression will create an acceleration chamber for growth and transformation that won’t leave a single soul untouched by the wonder of living in this perfect wisdom vessel - your very own human body. Together, we will learn that we are lovable not despite our limitations. Instead, we are lovable as a result of our limitations.

She is a group facilitator extraordinaire, event producer, and a new mother. In 2014 she co-founded Embodied Intimacy, which has become one of the most respected organizations globally that offers trainings and events focussed on intimacy, trauma, relational intelligence, somatic education and community. Since 2019, Rachel has led the Belly2Belly Facilitator Training after her teacher and mentor, David Cates, passed the torch and CEO position for this work to her. Belly2Belly offers a simple and yet profoundly healing set of embodied and relational practices, which support people to learn to regulate their nervous systems in a way that can be transformational for their relationships. Rachel’s newest passion project launched in 2022, “The Field Facilitator Training.” This is a revolutionary new experiential learning environment for upcoming group facilitators who are passionate about creating fields of deep group-heart coherence and learning how to facilitate group soul emergence. David Cates David’s passion is listening to bodies. In nearly 50 years of teaching about sex, intimacy and connection, David has become an outspoken advocate for slowing things down and learning from our bodies in real time, breath by breath. His specialty is generating deep experiences of trust, safety and loving connection between lovers, friends, parents and children, and most surprisingly, even random strangers. Beyond individuals, he’s been expanding these explorations into groups, helping to create synchronized, coherent group heart-fields in gatherings and crowds. It seems inevitable that, as he approaches his seventies, David would also turn his attention toward dying. How can we help ease loved ones towards a peaceful death? How can we collectively grieve and honor the world that’s dying around us? As always, the answers are right here, in our bodies, if we slow down and listen. 💃 Find out more at🕺🏻 https://www.intimacycamp.com/ 🔥TO REGISTER🔥 https://www.intimacycamp.com/winter-camp Buy Tickets: https://buytickets.at/embodiedintimacy/1097021 *Applications for this event have now closed* To find out more information about our next event email: [email protected] Or join us at Intimacy Summer Camp: https://www.facebook.com/events/677367770706463
