A first, intimate gathering — a small circle exploring together.
What if we approached intimacy not as something to achieve, improve, or fulfill,
but as something to become curious about?
We spend much of our lives trying to change our experiences, satisfy our desires,
overcome our difficulties, and make our relationships work.
But what happens when we pause?
When we listen more deeply to the body, become curious about our desires,
and bring a quality of reverence to the experiences we ordinarily judge, resist, or try to change?
Join Amara Charles for two days of live, experiential inquiry into the body, desire, and relationship.
Drawing on more than 35 years of exploration and teaching, this gathering invites
a different way of approaching intimacy: through curiosity rather than assumption,
listening rather than grasping, and reverence rather than judgment.
This is not a formula for better relationships.
Not a collection of techniques to master.
It's an invitation to discover what becomes possible
when we learn to meet ourselves and one another differently.
This gathering is for you if…
- You're curious about intimacy as an inquiry, not a problem to be solved.
- You're partnered and want to explore together in a new way.
- You're single and want to deepen your own relationship with desire, the
body, and connection — no partner required.
- You've done inner work before, or you're just beginning. Curiosity is the
only prerequisite.
You don't need to arrive with a particular problem or goal.
Curiosity is enough.
Over our two days together
- The body as a place of knowing.
- Desire — meeting it with curiosity, rather than following or suppressing it.
- The patterns and quiet agendas we carry into relationship.
- Reverence as a way of meeting ourselves and one another.
- What becomes possible when we listen instead of grasp.
Through guided embodied inquiry, personal reflection, and gentle opportunities to explore together in a small cohort.
What to expect
A small circle. Live, interactive sessions over Zoom. Guided experiences, personal reflection, and space to explore — on your own and, if you come as a couple, together.
Everything is invitational. You choose your own level of participation throughout. This is an inner inquiry, conducted from the privacy of your own space — there is no nudity.
All you need is a quiet, private space and a device with Zoom.
