A practice for deeper intimacy
“I want a kiss from You,
said my heart.
‘Yes, but the price is your life’.
My heart leaped with joy and said:
Who cares about the price!”

The sexual energy and the longing for love are the fuel that moves us into relationships. At the same time, lack of understanding and communication around sex, love and relationships prevents us from reaching real intimacy.
We all long for deep, intimate and fulfilling love relationships. Yet very often we experience intimate relationships as very complicated and many times our efforts to find and sustain love result in conflict, disappointment and frustration.
This course is devoted to understand and experience the divine dance of the masculine and feminine polarities: How sexual energy drives us to come together to create intimate relationships, the differences in which it manifests in men and women, and the possibility and challenges of learning about love and oneself that come with it.
We are going to explore and experience how some fundamental differences in the masculine and feminine bodies, brains and hormones shape our behavior and influences our relationships.
When we understand and honor these differences, without confining ourselves to it, we create the base for a healthy polarity and a loving connection, which gives us the opportunity to love each other according to the old spiritual principle: We are mirrors for each other, through which we can see ourselves more clear and learn to love deeper.
“I would like express my deep admiration for the sensitivity, humbleness and humanity of your doing. For me you two together (Komala and Gregor) can create a very healing space. Caring, maternal, safe and protective with clear rules and boundaries. Male and female qualities balanced together that were hard to experience for me in real life.
The balance I see in you and in between you is very healing and inspiring but what is the most important it feels achievable.”
This work is based on the understanding of attachment theory and trauma healing.
Our story about relating has begun long before we can actively remember, and sometimes the earliest patterns – which are not active memories, but feelings in our bodies and emotions – shape us deeply in the way we experience ourselves and our partners in intimacy and relationships. It also shapes our experience of meeting men and women in the open space of everyday relating – in family, at work and with friends.
This is an opportunity to make peace within myself, between men and women, and within our own gender, at a fundamental level.
