Welcome to

The Art of Authentic Intimacy:
Practical Skills For Healthy Relationships & Dating

(This information will also be sent to you via email)

I’m excited for you to join us on this 5-week journey. This course is about embodying your wholeness as a full-spectrum person while also being able to effectively navigate the complexities and nuances of another person’s wholeness.

Collaborating to co-create deep, authentic intimacy - and fulfilling relationships of all kinds - is the core of this work. In my experience, there is nothing more rewarding and satisfying than investing time and energy in developing this skillset - something most of us were never taught nor had modelled for us.

This page is not only to welcome you, but also to walk you through when, where, and how to get the most out of The Art of Authentic Intimacy.

Overview

Over 5 weeks we’re covering 5 modules - incorporating the most essential themes of authentic intimacy & healthy communication that I’ve worked on with my private clients over the years:

  • Week 0 - Group Connection & Intention Setting Call

  • Week 1 - Boundaries, Needs, Desires: Healthy Communication Deep-Dive

  • Week 2 - Trust & Safety (Pt 1): Working with your Fears & Insecurities

  • Week 3 - Trust & Safety (Pt 2): Personal Stories + Deepening into Secure Intimacy

  • Week 4 - Conscious Conflict (Pt 1): Navigating Criticism, Blame, Resentment & Defensiveness

  • Week 5 - Conscious Conflict (Pt 2): Emotional Safety & The Secrets to Soulful, Healing Relationships

We start on September 1, 2023 with Week 0 - Group Connection Call. (Yes, technically this makes it a 6-Week course.)

The Video Modules will be released inside of a Private Facebook Group where we’ll hang out, dive into each week’s topic, and support each other’s learning.

💬 You’ll need to request access to the Facebook group here.

How The Course Flows

  • Every Monday morning AEDT, that week’s Video Module will be released, including the journaling prompts to go along with it. These videos are between 1-2 hours long. You’ll be able to watch them at any time that’s convenient for you.

  • Then, every Friday (or Thursday depending on your location) we have the Live Call where we dive deeper into the themes covered in that weeks Video Module.

  • Bonus Videos will likely be released prior to Week 0.

Note: If you cannot make the Live Calls, that’s ok. You will still have access to the 9+ hours of educational material (including all the powerful journaling prompts) from this course which will be released weekly and can be watched any time once released.  

Next Steps

There is nothing you need to do to prepare for the course. However, here are some suggested action steps while you wait for Week 0:

  • Join the Facebook Group and connect with some of the other people joining the course.

  • Add the Weekly Live Calls to your Calendar.

  • Select “Mark as important” for this email to ensure you future updates are highlighted in your inbox.

  • Purchase a notepad (if you don’t already have one) - or prepare a text document file where you can do journaling prompts and take notes from the Video Modules. Taking notes will help you make the most of the content.

  • Check out the Bonus Videos once they are released.

Warmly,
