Everyone says they want intimacy, but what is it, and why do we feel - regardless of whether we are single, attached or married - like we continually search for it but rarely find it? Why does it feel as if something is missing from our lives, a sense of being present and alive? Our sense of the simple things - how to be with people, how to love, touch, play, relax, feel our emotions, experience awe and gratitude - has dulled. How do we sharpen it again? How do we feel that we are inside of our lives, rather than observers?

In this evening lecture we will explore true intimacy - the blade that cuts through thoughts and isolation to bring us into the direct, felt experience of life. We'll examine how to take this immediacy into all relationships - with ourself and others - and come into an uncompromised sense of wholeness. Undivded, intimacy will be revealed as a roadmap home.
