The weekly Intimacy Experience

The weekly Intimacy Experience is an evening meeting that lasts two and a half hours.  It consists of a series of simple exercises that direct and train attention, alone, in pairs and in small groups. Sight, listening, movement and occasionally touch are used as the medium for attention. 

If you want to share more moments that enrich and delight you and those around you

The Intimacy Experience is for you if:

  • You want to fully express yourself and be heard, seen and appreciated
  • You choose to help others experience the best in themselves
  • You desire to attract and cultivate caring intimate relationships
  • You are in a leadership role of a team or organization
  • You are a teacher, trainer, mentor, coach or therapist
  • You are a good friend

Each of us knows the experience. You are with another person. Maybe it is a colleague, maybe its a friend, maybe a lover or spouse, maybe a total stranger in the Metro! Suddenly, unexpectedly perhaps, magic happens. Suddenly you and the other person sense a deep connection, suddenly you are both filled with a certain joy to be in each other's presence, suddenly there is more clarity and energy, inspiration and appreciation for each other. In such moments you feel more confident and at peace, creative and alive. In love with life!

It seems that such moments come out of nowhere, and go just as quickly. They may seem rare; almost accidental.

But such moments need not be accidental or rare.

The many people who have taken part in this training know that such energy giving connection with other people can be a part of your everyday life.
You can open up and communicate confidently and help others do the same. You can be confident and magnetic, a great listener, a powerful speaker. You can find a greater appreciation and be a better support for those around you.

This one day training shows you how. This one day experience will show you how to use the skills that create the kinds of experiences most of us just get to witness in other people.

Throughout history, people who have shared, leveraged and enjoyed intimate connections have used these four skills:

  • They know how to receive attention without the need to perform or fill up the space
  • They have the ability to focus their attention beyond personal fear and into what is most important to them in a given moment
  • They can feel into the space that connects them and other people. They can *feel* the quality of their audience's listening, respect that quality, and speak into it.
  • They are not afraid of silence. They can speak from silence. They can speak what is essential, needed and affirmative. They can speak from their heart.

Now you can too.

This training dispels the MYTH that intimate communication is merely a matter of good fortune. You can have it now, if you choose it!

HOW THE INTIMACY EXPERIENCE IS DIFFERENT

You Gain Confidence Through Experience!
Many training programs offer general theories and practices to be applied to specific situations. In such programs the participant is left trying to fit their life situation into general concepts that more or less don't fit them personally. This training is less about learning new theories, and more about having a powerful new experience of yourself that you can apply to your specific life situation immediately. This training helps you cultivate your own innate focus, sense of presence and personal power by bringing you more to the here and now than you knew was possible, and helping you cultivate your own ability to recreate such focus in your own life.

You Use and Enjoy your own natural way of communicating; helping you shine in a way that is true to your own individuality.

Many communication courses stress certain behaviors that may or may not be natural to the individual. This training, on the other hand, helps you to get comfortable being who you are. We have found that there is nothing more powerful than this.

Develops Nonverbal Aspect of Communication
Many communication courses focus on what you say. This course focuses on much more. Studies have shown that over 90% of communication is nonverbal. In other words the content of what you are saying is only a tiny portion of what is being received by your audience. The way in which you express yourself and HOW YOU SEE YOURSELF AND YOUR AUDIENCE have a much bigger influence on the outcome of interactions than what is said.

In the Intimacy Experience we move from the nonverbal into verbal. So you get comfortable just seeing and being seen in silence. By doing this your words do not hide the here and now, but add to the experience in a powerful way!

Non Judgmental Community based on Authenticity and Awareness
To quicken your progress, it is vital that you make use of a great community of colleagues who are going through the same process you are. This training is designed to create a safe environment where it is OK to be who we are whatever that looks like.

Enjoying the giving and receiving of attentive support is the reason why many people come back to this training again and again even after they have received many of its benefits.

A place at the Intimacy Experience costs  €18 if you pay at the door or €12-15 when you pay advance.
