Welcome to ‘Embodied Intimacy’ - Perth, Australia
An immersive 1-night OR 3-day workshop designed to empower your self-inquiry & interpersonal connections through somatic practices, mindfulness and community.
Embodied Intimacy is a multi-day immersion designed to empower you into deepened self-awareness & magnify your interpersonal connections through somatic practices, embodied researching and community.
Together we create a brave space to embrace your creativity and presence. We slow down, listen to the body, and focus on authentic human connection. Think of this as a practical and fun immersion offering a bold approach to being in touch with your own heart. You’ll explore a deeper “yes” to your life, discover more resources to be in more connection with yourself and your feelings - the source of your own radiance. Through guided embodied exercises, you will walk away with actionable tools for your everyday life, the possibility to communicate more honestly, become more assertive and be more in touch with what you want.

When we speak about intimacy here, we mean:
Authentic human connection - with yourself, with others, and with nature.
Presence without story - meeting someone or yourself in the now, without masks or roles.
Vulnerability and courage - sharing what is real for you.
Embodied connection - discovering your physical, emotional, mental, archetypal, and energetic bodies to deepen your presence.
A doorway to transformation - not a goal, instead a space that opens and can be experienced at any time when spaciousness and logistics drop away.
We practice intimacy through embodiment: bringing generous attention to all five bodies, moving, listening, and being present. The more you inhabit yourself fully, the more authentic your connection with others becomes.
What Embodied Intimacy offers is a Somatic Authentic Relating Laboratory,
for you to experiment and evolve in your ability to relate to yourself & others.
