Relational Intimacy
The Magic and Mystery of Authentic Relating
An online program with Michael Stone  
Starts November 8th, Wednesdays Noon - 1:30 pm PT

Real intimacy is a sacred experience. It never exposes its secret trust and belonging to
the voyeuristic eye of a neon culture. Real intimacy is of the soul, and the soul is reserved.
​John O'Donohue

Relational Intimacy is a process of deepening and evolving our relation to ourselves, each other, and our natural world. This experiential workshop is designed to heal the wounds of our past and tap into the natural genius of our wise adult. Come, discover the magic and mystery of relational intimacy.

If you find yourself in repetitive and habitual arguments, challenges, and difficulties in your personal, familial, or work relationships, feel you are not being heard or seen by the most important people in your life, or experience frustration in having your voice heard and your most important projects manifested, this is a course for you. Together we will also discover the alchemy of living relationally and creating a new paradigm for living a connected and thriving life.

Intimacy is a totally different dimension. It is allowing the other to come into you, 
to see you as you see yourself.

Here is a brief overview of the topics we will be exploring in the seven sessions:

Module 1   Establishing Trust and Safety: In order to create a safe space for evolutionary growth and learning, we will explore the basic components of creating safe environments built on trust, authenticity, and mutual respect.

• How we determine if people are safe, dangerous, or life-threatening
• Building boundaries, trust & establishing distance regulation 
• Interdependency & transcending the myth of separation
• Understanding trauma integration and the nervous system
• Developing embodied perception and emotional connection​​

Module 2  The Art of Presencing: Presencing is the art and practice of calling ourselves into the present moment to explore our interiority and focus our perception on our thoughts, and emotions while deepening our felt sense in and of the body.

• The cost of absencing, otherizing, and projection
• How embodied awareness creates deeper connection
• Rehabilitating our capacity for emotional sensing 
• How developmental trauma can either run our lives or evolve our capacity
• The impact of intergenerational/ancestral wounding
• Awakening our sleeping senses and expanding our innate capacity ​​​​

Module 3  Your Relation to Self: When we explore our own story or narrative we discover the limits and boundaries of our own possibilities and potential. Our true self can be more rightly defined as the amount of life we can let live through us.

• Cultivating self-esteem & dismantling self-criticism
• Learning self-regulation through co-regulation and mutuality 
• Discovering our adaptive child and building the capacity of our Wise adult
• Embracing our inner orphan and reclaiming our soul’s wisdom
• Transcending the myth of separation and repairing the cost of Individualism

Module 4  Healing the Mother wound: The mother wound is the pain, wounding, and trauma that's carried by a mother and inherited by her children, with daughters facing the brunt of this wound due to the oppression of the patriarchy. 

• Dismantling the feminine individuation process
• Learning to receive and take in that which has been held back
• Navigating the patriarchy as a woman
• Cultivating authenticity and belonging in a world of inauthenticity
• Creating self-realization in a world with broken mythological models

​

Module 5  Healing the Father wound: The father wound, refers to father absenteeism, whether emotionally or both emotionally and physically. A father’s criticism, negativity, or abuse impacts future relationships and we can heal these wounds. 

• Rehabilitating our authentic self-expression
• Cultivating emotional awareness as a healing path
• Distinguishing Power from Force, the path to true leadership
• The impact of mothers on sons - breaking the bonds of obligation
• Cultivating passionate, heartfelt, and emergent relationships

Module 6  Developing & Belonging: There is a direct correlation between our early developmental process and our sense of belonging. When we trace back to the areas where we were not felt, seen, or heard we can heal and integrate the pain of our early wounding.

• Renegotiating the parent-child relationship through re-parenting
• Building our capacity for Interdependence & Collaboration
• Developing our capacity for Attunement, Mutuality & Coherence
• Creating language, listening & feedback for relational healing
• Transcending privilege for deeper connection and attunement

Module 7  Relational Intimacy Practices: Processes, practices, and exercises to continue on the journey of developing and deepening our sense of relatedness and recognizing our interdependence and interconnection with all of life.

• Knowing and trusting that we are Loved
• Returning to our original goodness
• A new paradigm for practicing interdependent co-arising
• The importance of grieving that which has been lost
• Learning to give ourselves what we needed and didn’t get as a child.

TESTIMONIALS ​

I loved the Relational Intimacy Course.   The way it impacted my life and relationships is that I am feeling more compassionate and understanding of myself and others.  My heart feels more spacious.   Also it has been helpful to identify and investigate feelings instead of bypassing, minimizing, and dismissing them.   That has been a habit.  It takes discipline to do this and will continue to do so.  Your kindness and compassion have been a guiding light,  and I am grateful for that.

I really enjoyed the course. All of the people, and you as host, all lovely. Your course correlated perfectly with what I was learning in my personal work. The material was something I could really sink my teeth into in a way that helped me identify my feelings about past events and key relationship dynamics. The experience was and will continue to be instrumental contributing toward my journey of awakening and healing.

His ability to open people up to the power of spiritual work through his radio show, classes and programs is absolutely remarkable. He has touched so many people and educated thousands in practices and ways we can work to provide solutions to the challenges we face on our planet. Michael’s enthusiasm is truly contagious. His work as a teacher, shamanic healer, and communicator is brilliantly inspired and is filled with the love, light, compassion, and humour needed to leave everyone he works with discovering new ways to feel and be empowered.

​     I'm more honest, compassionate and connected with people than I've ever been before. The course Michael ran was a huge wave in that growth. I think of Well Of Light and I get hope and excitement. Youthful elders doing their thing. Having age not be a limit; and it's not the true reality. To witness that is inspirational. I feel great, hopefully excited about being an elder myself. I got what I came for initially, to be around Michael. It was to grow confidence to lead others through meditation and holding space and being in each class I developed and devoured it. I paid attention to my body. 7-24 times per day, I feel my body. This course gave me that subconscious access. It's invaluable; our tool, our beacon to the universe to what's happening and what's stored in the past. To  be with it  and be ok with it. How to be with others and see them as others. See them as ourselves. What we are feeling from them is inside of us. Michael brought us through the dynamics through practice, knowledge, wisdom, intellectually and experientially. Michael gave us a grasp on being with people that I don't think many people have to have even written about. He is the guy that's been able to deliver it the most enjoyably.

     It was a big journey, I felt very supported in deepening my practice and it's a big part of me now. The big teaching or lesson for me during these 6 months was to be aware of my body. Be aware of everything I've been feeling and be with it. The way I used to cope was to keep doing things and get busy. So my mind and body wouldn't be aware. The capacity to be with all that was happening in a way that I felt grounded and peaceful. I loved how Michael would interact with each person, it was very respectful and professional. He really cares about everyone there and creates a space of safety and harmony. The way he communicates outside the group if you need anything, and the way he cares about people is something I really value. It's something that kept me moving.
​- Leyre Murrilo

Doing this work has shifted my spiritual journey, the group has fortified my constitution and also my enthusiasm around this journey. My friends have remarked how different I seem, and that a change is very apparent. My reactions and my interactions have been so different than before, in that I don't let things penetrate my past wounds. I've come to a place of understanding that's made me glide across this river so much more easily. You can develop a sense of trust in yourself to practice your inner listening and guidance, which we tend to give away. In this safe place we've been in (the group), it helped us nurture that part of us and helped us trust our own gut. Even the people who were the most quiet in our group were very powerful. If I shared something that happened, they would privately write to me saying that they related or were there for me. This was an incredible support group.
​- Ginger Sledge

 Michael’s presence (and by extension, his teachings) have allowed my own inner-mystic to reveal herself, unearthing my innate and extraordinary capabilities. At 24, I am newly grounded, empowered & excited to continue on the Path of the Mystic!
     Michael himself is such a free and inevitably inspiring person, on the frontlines of universal spiritual healing. I cannot adequately convey how much goodness he has fostered on our planet during his lifetime. But I can say that his goodness is contagious, and his work blessed. Anyone seeking to deepen their relationships (with themselves, loved ones, un-loved ones, the planet) will do so with Michael. If you’re curious, go for it!
