For couples of any length of commitment and any sexual orientation.
Would you love to feel passionate and at ease in your lovemaking? Most of us remember a time when sexual relating was a joy, when we were easily aroused and didn’t worry about whether we were “doing it right.” As our relationships mature, our sex lives sometime settle into a routine, and differing desires can cause painful power struggles.
Let go into playful, sensual, nurturing connection with your lover during this 3-day weekend. Through safe and enjoyable (clothes-on) exercises, gentle yoga, meditation, dialogue, and rituals, you will tune into each other’s need for affection, communication, and pleasuring. You will learn
- How non-demand touch is the bedrock for a healthy, passionate sexual relationship
- A powerful dialogue process to deepen communication about sexual needs and preferences
- Fun ways to relax, so every moment of connection is pleasurable
- To release limiting beliefs about sex, pleasure, and intimacy.
Kate and Joel Feldman have been facilitating deep work with couples for decades. Join them to discover how non-demand sexual and sensual relating can reenergize the pleasure and passion between you.
