The Intimacy Experiment™ Workshop
Oakland, CA
Intimacy: Closeness. A sense of deeply knowing someone. Trust.
Join us for an event filled with laughter, deeper conversations, and mindful practices designed to gain insight into your relationships with others as well as yourself. This in-person experience will allow you to engage and embrace the beauty of face-to-face discussions and learning with other human beings. Whether you're single, in a relationship, or just looking to connect with others on a deeper level, this event is for you. Come with an open heart and leave with a renewed sense of connection.
The Intimacy Experiment is a transformative event where you'll explore the skills we need for intimacy and intimate communication through a series of safe, fun and insightful activities.

You will learn about yourself, your relationship and communication styles, and you can use this knowledge and gain skills for more effective approaches to a partner or potential partners. All genders and orientations are fully welcome.
Throughout this session, you will learn:
- The 5 levels of intimacy and how you may wish to practice them
