HEALING INTIMACY
A SOMATIC JOURNEY IN FREE EXPRESSION & RIGHT RELATIONSHIP
Arpil 5th - 7th,
CHRISTINA DELLA IACONO, M.S. & LAURA SANCHEZ
Just Love Forest, Poetry, Georgia
EXPERIENCE A MAGICAL WEEKEND OF healing in community & NATURE
A Forest Retreat of Shared Experiences
When we don’t express freely, our relationships suffer. Boundaries are crossed, feelings get hurt, and relationships take on a tit-for-tat dynamic. We talk over each other to get the last word; we remain silent to avoid conflict. We repress our anger and later explode in volatility or fester in resentments. In romantic relationships, our sex drive plummets or we fantasize about finding fulfillment elsewhere. Walls form between us. We ghost family members or friends without explanation. We obligatorily spend time with loved ones when our presence is a million miles away. We become co-dependent, detached, oversensitive, anxious.
It starts within
Let’s journey into true intimacy, together.
A WEEKEND OF…
SOMATIC & EMOTIONAL RELEASE PRACTICES to witness the wounds that have blocked genuine relating, release cellular trauma, and clear our ancestral lines
SHADOW WORK to welcome, de-shame, and alchemize anger and practice healthy boundary-setting
THROAT & SACRAL CHAKRA CLEARING, ACTIVATION, & BALANCING: The throat and sacral chakras are intimately connected and integral to authentic relating. When functioning optimally, we give voice to the seat of our creative power. Our ability to freely express our needs, wants, and emotions allows us to create healthy boundaries and experience greater pleasure in our relationships. In our vulnerability, we find strength and relish in true heart intimacy. We will nourish the throat chakra through devotional singing, primal sounds, toning–and the sacral through pelvic movement and sensuality practices.

Through various modalities, Christina invites people home to the remembrance of ecstatic movement, sacred sexuality, sensuality, womb wisdom, pleasure, and playfulness.
