Undefended Love - When Close Is Not Close Enough
July 16-18
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.
Note: Attendance at the entire program is required.
