The Problem-Transformation Spectrum 1. Distress as a Developmental Opportunity 2. I have gained a deeper understanding and awareness of the unconscious programming and patterns I play out in my sexuality. Even though I am not in a relationship, I have discovered through the exercises where I move into patterns, thoughts, memories and emotions, that can lead me into another pattern or remove me from being present. Lorella brings incredible wisdom, passion and embodied intuition to the work; and has an earnest desire for everyone to really get the concept of body intelligence and the energetics in the space.

Embodied Intimacy - Lorella Ricci

Her facilitation is impeccable and the container is safe and sacred. What I got from this program is how I can clearly communicate about my desires and boundaries; how to be more present to my body and enjoy freely; and overall I feel more energised, spontaneous and playful with intimacy.

I feel like we have both gained so much insight into ourselves — our bodies, our pleasure, our emotions and this has enabled a whole new way of us being together. It has opened up new, beautiful, rich depths into our relationship and intimacy together.

Because it is all so holistic, I feel like I have gained so much more than what I was hoping for. The Embodied Intimacy Workshop re-connected me with my body and my self, but also with the constant place of vibrancy and love of life that is intimacy and pleasure, available to us as a resource constantly. Through skilled and nourishing guidance by Lorella, outdated modes of being were seen through, and a fresh expanded perspective on intimacy was reawakened.

The idea that partners in committed relationships elicit strong reactions in each other is self evident. That these passions are often overlooked in the therapy room is equally a reality.
