Undefended Love: When Close is Not Close Enough
July 11-13
The capacity exists in all of us to love without defenses or requirements, so
that real intimacy - direct, unmediated, heart-to-heart connection with
ourselves and with our partner - becomes a lifelong expression of our deepest
nature. This is the power of Undefended Love, a transformative path that guides
us beyond close, companion-based partnerships toward intimate relationships,
where each moment is a fresh, spontaneous expression of who we genuinely are.
This workshop, open to couples and individuals, offers a pathway for cutting
through personal differences and reaching the direct connection - with ourselves
and others. Through lively experiential practices, participants will learn:
- What unconditional love really is and how to achieve it.
- How to sustain our experience of ourselves regardless of what our partner is
feeling.
- How to "dissolve" rather than "resolve" relationship problems.
- When "needs" can be unexpected guides to undiscovered inner resources.
- How problems can be entry points to deeper connection.
- Why there is no difference between men and women when it comes to intimate
loving.
- How comfort and safety can prevent rather than promote intimacy.
- Continuing Education Credit for nurses.
- Fulfills the spiritual practice prerequisite for John F. Kennedy University's Graduate School for Holistic Studies.
