Join us for this creative weekend relationship laboratory, an advanced workshop for singles, couples and those with alternative relating styles. Embodied Intimacy uses the wisdom of the body as a portal to truth and shared reality in connection. In order to do this, we have to go back and re-learn the basics that our mostly thinking-mind and goal-oriented cultures have unconsciously trained us out of. We become impulsive when we suppress our instincts and, like any neglected animal, they can grow unruly or destructive. When you remember how to trust your primal urges, you can navigate from the sensory body, allowing your innately pleasurable life-force to bubble up from the inside - rather than driving from preconceived ideas of the thinking mind, top-down. Living in this way, every interaction is a spontaneous, fresh, deeply-embodied co-creation. You cannot learn this cognitively, only through direct experience. Embodied Intimacy offers you a rare opportunity to stretch beyond your habitual safety nets, to take risks, make mistakes, receive real-life feedback, learn how your instincts impact others, rinse and repeat. Your games and manipulations fall apart when you are held in a collective committed to truth and transparency and you naturally find your way back to congruency, home to your essential nature. A few of the many gifts of this advanced Embodied Intimacy workshop include: ♥ Remember how to trust your own body: drop anxieties about “performance” and pleasing another ♥ Rebuild deep self-respect: from the experience of being met in your full power and feeling your “spine” ♥ Form secure attachments: the highest component of resilience and happiness ♥ Welcome back your “inner animal”: finally give yourself permission to do what feels really good ♥ Experience Somatic Empowerment: feel at home in your own body and trust yourself with others ♥ Access, trust and take responsibility for your needs, feelings and desires ♥ Fully realize that your shadow is your gift ♥ Embody knowing how to trust yourself among others ♥ Increase your somatic, emotional and social intelligence ♥ Develop a clear sense of dynamic boundaries and find your authentic “yes” to everyone ♥ Learn ways to approach yourself and others with curiosity instead of judgment, allowance instead of avoidance ♥ Experience the beauty, creativity and innocence of your er)0(tic nature ♥ Share the truth of your heart and experience relating authentically to others from wholeness ♥ Transform fears, social anxiety and personal inadequacy into the relief and joy of being met as you are ♥ Discover how to rebuild your relationship your animal instincts ♥ The alchemy of relating, the practice of courageous vulnerability and the power of transparent self-disclosure TO REGISTER: Grab your tickets on Ticket Tailor: http://buytickets.at/embodiedintimacy/293804 LOCATION: Natha YogaCenter Nordre Fasanvej 230, 2200 København N, Denmark DATE & TIME: Friday, 6 December, 2019 (18:30-22:30) Saturday, 7 December, 2019 (10:00-19:00) Sunday, 8 December, 2019 (10:00-18:00) COST: Tier 1 (Tickets 1-10): €200 Tier 2 (Tickets 11-20): €220 Tier 3 (Tickets 21-30): €240 Tier 4 (Tickets 31-40): €260 REFUND POLICY: 0-7 days before the event: no refund 7-15 days before the event: 25% 15-30 days before the event: 50% Purchase-30 days before the event: 75% CONTACT US: Feel free to contact Vaishnavi if you have any questions about the event: e-mail: [email protected] fb messenger: https://m.me/EmbodiedIntimacy FAQ What is included in the price? ○ Food and accommodations are NOT included in the price for this event. ○ The price of the ticket covers the course fee only.

We live in a world that teaches us how to read, write, calculate and solve logical problems but we aren’t taught how to love and be loved in a way that fits the unique shape of our heart. Embodied Intimacy is a partnership founded by Rachel Rickards and Buster Radvik that teaches workshops, seminars, retreats and trainings for thousands of people around the world. The work asks participants to show up and reveal themselves authentically — to take the vulnerable risk and let others see you as you are. To hold others in non-judgmental awareness as their mirror to let them see into and reflect you back to you. The truth of each moment has the potential to set us free by allowing ourselves to be all that we are. Embodied congruence, authenticity and vulnerability have the power to shave off the dead callus of defensiveness and leave us more naked and available to be touched, met, intimately attuned, and to transform and uplevel the way we relate. Can I attend an advanced intensive with Embodied Intimacy? This is for you if you have attended an Embodied Intimacy Intensive or weekend Immersion, several of our workshops, or have immersed yourself in contexts where you have learned the basics of self-regulation and have an understanding of your own nervous system and how to use breath, sound, movement and touch to come back into connection and aliveness through self and/or co-regulation. This Advanced workshop is designed for you build on those already established and developed skills and to dive even deeper into the magic of healing and it’s er)0(tic expression of playfulness, life force and creativity. Nothing is compulsory; all activities are optional. Everything is an invitation to consider and your full consent is the basis for any interactions with others.
