About the event
EMBODIED & INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP RETREAT
led by Godfrey Devereux
EMBODIED & INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP RETREAT
The quality of your life is determined by the quality of your relationships. Yet satisfying relationship can be as elusive as it is longed for. This does not have to be the case. The keys to satisfying relationships are to be found within your own nature. They include openness, sensitivity, generosity and inclusivity. All of which are qualities upon which satisfying relationships depend. All of which are qualities through which awareness expresses itself into your life. They are natural expressions of your spiritual nature. They are also the keys to intimacy: both with yourself and with others. It is only when relationships offer and provide genuine intimacy that they can be satisfying.
Covered up as these keys may be by social conditioning and pressure, they can be uncovered and embodied somatically. To uncover them you need only open your Spiritual Heart. To embody them you need only establish ongoing intimacy with your own body. In becoming intimate with your own body you open the door to becoming intimate with others.
Somatic Intimacy allows you to establish and stabilise pathways of sensitivity, openness, generosity and inclusivity which become available for your relationships with others. This is initiated in sensitive, rhythmic movement that recalibrates the plasticity of neuromuscular tissue. Neuromuscular pathways can be generated from the body to your Spiritual Heart. As your Spiritual Heart is opened by intimacy with your own Presence its qualities of openness, sensitivity, generosity and inclusivity begin to flow through these pathways into your perception and behaviour. Then, as they become embodied, intimate relationship becomes possible.
This retreat will offer you the opportunity to develop stable pathways of intimacy by way of your own body. This will take place by way of movement, stillness and sharing. You will learn simple movement practices that sensitise your body, somatic meditations that open your Spiritual Heart, and somatic games that allow you to feel more safe with others.
You can come alone or with a partner. If you come with a partner you make your own agreements on how/if to interact with others.
