Intimacy Lab #2 Desire & Discernment

INTIMACY LAB #2: DESIRE & DISCERNMENT
What is your desire telling you? Do you think you can get it or is it out of reach? Do you think you deserve it? Do you think it's wrong or mistaken? Is it too much? Are you afraid of opening the floodgates of insatiability?  How do you cope with these intense feelings?

What is the power of "No"? What happens if I change my mind midway through? What's the relationship between fear and desire?

These are some of the questions we'll be exploring in this lab. We'll experiment with some embodied tools to help us with desire, fear and discernment. We'll also do some writing, arts and craft. 

ABOUT THE ORGASMIC LIFE INTIMACY LAB SERIES
We invite you to join us as we explore principles, practices & technologies of intimacy & sexuality that enhance our sovereignty and expand our capacity to experience life in all its contradictions & complexity.

Our fervent desire is for you to take the embodied learnings from these labs and apply them to the rest of your life: family, friends, work, community and the planet.

FREEDOM PLAY
The last half-hour of each lab will be an optional practise space where those who choose to stay can practise what they have learned in the lab. The practice can be partnered. For example, those trained in orgasmic meditation can do two OMs. The practice can also be solo. For example, conscious witnessing or self-pleasuring.

ONLINE COMMUNITY
Those who have attended a lab will receive a complimentary two-month membership to a private paid online community where we will continue the conversations, make additional resources available, offer "homework" and "real life" projects as well as explore and connect with people all over the world.
