INTIMACY LAB #4: BEYOND EXPECTATIONS

Do you begin with the end in mind? How do you become aware of your blind spots? Can you sit with the discomfort of negative feedback? Can you fully receive a compliment and not deflect it? When does authenticity become ass-holery? Can empathy be weaponised?

These are some of the questions we'll be exploring in this lab. We'll experiment with some shadow work, and tools to expand our capacity to hold and regulate our neuro-weather.

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.

IN-PERSON SYDNEY LABS

The first four in-person intimacy labs will be held at the Leela Centre in Sydney exploring these topics:

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.
