Mindful Connection: Intimacy and Energy Play for All Relationships

We are beings in relationship. Whether friends or intimate partners, long-distance lovers or next door neighbors, we are constantly exchanging energy with the people in our lives. But after 2 months, 5 years, 2 decades, we stop relating to each other mindfully and fall into static patterns of interaction. We lose the joy of exploration. How do we re-ignite the light of discovery?

Try something new this Valentine's Day and dive deep into the sensory experience of Energy Play. Together, we'll explore ways to bring all 5 senses back online in service of greater connectedness. Come prepared for an interactive experience to share with anyone you're seeking greater connection to.
