>> Doesn’t that sound more fun than hours of couples therapy talking our way to into connection?? <<
During this weekend immersion, take the opportunity use words less and let your body do the revealing.
How do you show up?
For many, we face a relationship dilemma: at once, we feel a deep
yearning for more connection, while at the same time, a deep fear
of the very vulnerability we crave, which keeps us from asking for it!
How do we shift this cycle?
In this workshop you will....
* Learn simple, gentle, partnered practices to explore how you show up in relationship to others--movement as mirror!
* Heighten movement awareness to reveal and move from your "body intuition" no matter your skill level; staying honest with self and others - a key to healthy relating.
* Explore responding to your own and others’ resistance to connection with acceptance, play and creativity.
* Cultivate verbal and non-verbal tools to expand your capacity to stay connected in intimacy, in all areas of your life
Together we will explore movement, reflection and community witness to understand the power of vulnerability and what blocks the connections we desire. Because we all have this desire in common. But sometimes our words and fears just get in the way!
Participants will discover initiating movement from their own centers of desire, shifting tendencies for “co-dependence” into playful interdependent creativity and welcoming the sometimes uncertain, even “messy” parts of relationship into our dances.
We hope you will attend this special weekend of healing through the moving arts, with courageous deep dives into connection along with joyous celebration of dancing freely in the field of our common humanity.
The Dance of Intimacy: Learning to Stay Connected Thru Contact Improv
Ever noticed how in Contact Improvisation, all our relationship “stuff” kinda shows up?
What if we looked at those patterns…on purpose?
Join Dr. Jessica Tartaro for this afternoon workshop to explore how this playful dance
formcan be a mirror to our relationship to others, as well as a path to shift disconnection
into moresatisfying re-connection.
In this workshop you will:
* Learn simple, gentle, partnered movements to explore how you show up in relationship
* Practice listening to your movements to reveal your "body intuition" as a mover, no matter your skill level
* Discover ways to move staying true to yourself and honest with others - a key to healthy relating!
* Explore responding to your own and others’ resistance to connection with play, approval and creativity
* Cultivate verbal and non-verbal tools to expand your capacity to stay connected in intimacy, in all areas of your life
In this interactive workshop, Dr. Tartaro will guide you through playful movement and simple reflection to understand both what blocks connection as well as how to access the vulnerability that is the very key to the intimacy you desire. We will start from the basic premise that we all want to feel connected, even if we don’t always know how!
Come learn how to rely on the body as a trustworthy path to healing, vulnerability and nourishing relationship.
Learn to OM: An Introduction to Orgasmic Meditation
Join the wave that is building in Dallas of people who have discovered this life-changing practice, and transformed their ability to connect in all areas of their lives!
Orgasmic meditation, or OM for short, is a 15-minute timed practice where a partner strokes the upper left-hand quadrant of the clitoris, very lightly. There is no goal, except to feel the sensation in both partners' bodies. OM is a simple a way to deepen intimacy, know your body, and connect to yourself and others.
Are you someone who knows they want connection but time and again struggles to find it? Then this practice may be for you!
Benefits of OM include:
- Focused attention
- Increased physical sensation
- Natural hormonal balancing
- Reinvigoration of natural sexual function and desire
- Greater knowledge of self
Being Turned on through OM'ing means feeling the electricity of being alive.
Led by two experienced OM coaches, this afternoon OM Class is the perfect way to learn the basics of the practice of OM and the philosophy behind the practice.
The course will include:
- The beginning philosophy behind OM
- Introduction of a new definition of Orgasm -- the difference between Climax and Orgasm
- Exploration of Three principles: Attention, Simplicity & Desire - and how they relate to your OM practice
- The benefits of an OM practice
- Live demonstration of the OMing Practice
- Introduction to the 1'oclock spot
- Basic Stroking Technique
Everyone can have an OM practice, whether you’re single or partnered, and people of all gender identities and sexual preferences are welcome.
Orgasm is a nutrient, missing from most of our lives. It hydrates our deeper desire, nourishing its growth. We hope you will join us February 28th to nourish yourself and your desire.
Open to both singles and couples.
