Art of Giving & Receiving
Em-body and express your boundaries and desires
Have you ever said “yes”, but actually meant “no”?
Have you ever found it difficult to ask for something you longed for?
Have you ever been unsure and indecisive about what you wanted?
You are not alone - some of us feel shame for expressing what we desire, or guilt for receiving something, or fear of being rejected. Most people don’t know where to start.
Intimacy with a partner begins with being connected to ourselves, the sensations of our body and emotions moving through us. Learn how to say “no”, “yes”, and more importantly discover what truly brings you pleasure.
For the past 14 years, me and my husband, Sebastian, have been on a romantic rollercoaster - opened the marriage for 3 years, had no sex for a year and re-learned how to connect.
Overtime our relationship grew stronger because we make asking asking for what you want, as well as giving with an open heart a conscious practice.
We learnt that at the foundation of any relationship is act of giving and receiving, but sometimes we get so entangled in the social scripts that we do things without questioning.
It is not uncommon of me to ask Sebastian “are you doing this for me or for you?”. This straight forward communication based on the Giving & Receiving framework we teach, allows you to fully enjoying the act of giving and relax into the act of receiving.
Join us to look at the dynamics of giving and receiving with new eyes and transform your relationship!

Why it works?
Shows you that you are not alone
The grass always seems greener on the other side. By joining the workshop, you and your partner will realize no real relationship is perfect & that you have a choice how to respond when in crisis.
Offers you a safe and neutral space
Often we know what is right, but we miss the feeling of safety that the other partner will not overreact or shut down.
Allows you to experience new approaches
In the workshop we incorporate practical hands-on tools for our daily lives. The perfect place to anchor when you go home in your old habitat.
“You must ask for what you really want.
Don't go back to sleep!”
Rumi
Who is this for?
Couples who have grown apart emotionally
When we grow apart, it is hard to even understand what we want and don't want - this workshop gives you a safe space to get in touch with your needs, wants and desires and develop healthy personal boundaries. Find more ease, confidence and sensuality in your relationship!
Couples in which one partner is more reserved
This dynamic is very common. Often the other partner needs a neutral person to even say the same things you already know. In addition to saying the things you already know, we will give you the chance to embody the knowledge together so that when you go back home, you can always return to.
Couples seeking growth & new experiences
Kudos! Most couples wait till it’s too late. The truth is our unconsciousness is full of hidden dynamics, and we can always learn how to give and receive more satisfying touch!

IF YOU'RE STILL READING THIS... THIS MESSAGE IS FOR YOU

Like you don’t know how to even tell your partner about it.
Maybe you feel like you’ve already tried so many approaches, and it hasn’t worked.
I get that.
Please hear me when I say, it’s not your fault.
You ARE NOT BROKEN.

And we are here to help.
