A New Frontier of Intimacy

Deep breath. Open Heart. Shared Connection.

Life has gotten real, y’all.

A great many of us are feeling the overwhelm of these tenuous times.

With so much happening externally, it can be challenging to know where to turn for stability, what to do for ourselves and others, and how to connect to a sense of grounded purpose and clarity.

When it’s hard to even know what’s real, what matters, and what we can focus on, the most important thing we can do is to slow down. Take a deep breath. And turn inward.

This is an invitation to do just that, so you can find the inner resources necessary to ride the changing tides with grace and resilience. It feels like such a timely gift to get to assist with this upcoming retreat, and it would be such a joy to share this experience with you.

The Intimacy Retreat is facilitated by Rachel Rickards, co-founder of Embodied Intimacy, lead facilitator for Belly2Belly.
