Inviting Intimacy - 2-day workshop in London (non-residential)

A Jan Day Workshop led by Nicola Foster and Jason Porthouse.

10am - 5pm

Are you looking for more honesty in your relationships?  Inviting Intimacy is a two-day workshop exploring connecting with others, and deepening your 'first intimacy' - the connection with yourself.

Intimacy, while sometimes hard to find or maintain, is what we yearn for; it is the doorway to meaningful connections and loving relationships. True intimacy is built on bringing all parts of ourselves to a relationship - even those we label as ‘bad’.
Whether you desire to deepen relationships with your partner, your lover, your friends or your family, this workshop offers you tools and insights to practise being more authentic.

Over the course of the weekend, we will look at how to get in touch with our ‘first intimacy’ - ourselves. You will be invited to explore the importance of presence and how it can transform relationship. You’ll have opportunities to challenge old patterns and beliefs and discover how they might be holding you back.

This process is an opportunity to:

• learn to love and trust yourself - to be more fully human

• allow yourself to be vulnerable, to 'not know' and to make mistakes

• learn to enjoy life more fully so that you can live with more passion

• dance, connect and have fun with a group of open-hearted people

Inviting Intimacy is a journey to discover a deeper relationship with yourself and with others. The workshop will include movement, guided structures and processes, conscious touch, sharing and personal reflection.

We invite you to join in this safe, nourishing and playful space, where you can awaken to your full potential!

This weekend is suitable for individuals and couples - all are welcome.

About Nicola

Nicola is a relationship and intimacy therapist and teacher. She began learning about love and relationships with Jan Day in 2011 and this journey led her to escape her corporate job and qualify as a sex and relationship therapist supports couples and individuals with intimacy. Her mission is to help men and women create, repair and deepen their intimate relationships. Nicola says "When I first began learning about relationships with Jan I had very little idea about how to be relational. I was wrapped up in my own fears, judgments, prejudices and doubts. As I experimented with dating and being more conscious in my relationship choices, I learned to see the unique differences and beautiful qualities in others and to how to be more present. I also found greater self-acceptance. I now love to help others to find more self-esteem, confidence and joy in all their relationships."
