I have a dream!

Would you like to dream with me?

HOW WOULD IT BE...

... if we no longer met each other out of a hunger for validation or distraction, but out of a feeling of abundance and overflow?

... if we didn't "consume" each other, but instead shared our gifts with eachother?

... if we still felt fulfilled and connected after an encounter instead of empty?

... if we could truly feel connected to ourselves, with everything that moves us and guides us?

... if we let ourselves be seen as we are, with all our fears and desires? Vulnerable, real, and honest.

... if we could allow, stay present with, expand into and even enjoy real intimacy?

... if we could feel safe in all of this?

What would it be like if we kissed intimacy awake again with our lives?

Because I believe intimacy is like a sleeping beauty in our society- it's frozen in a deep slumber in her glas coffin.

In our daily rush of faster-higher-further-more doing, we rarely take the time to dive deep with others and truly show ourselves.

People are being replaced by devices everywhere, and we have fewer and fewer opportunities to practice human contact.

Human contact is established, maintained, and deepened through apps, digital messages, and swipes.

Many of us no longer even know what intimacy and real, deep connection are.

Feeling myself?

Chatting it away, drinking it away, eating it away, Netflixing it away...

There's always a distraction waiting somewhere.

Really showing myself to others?

Filters, smiles, masks, i'm ok...

Shame and fear of judgment built strong, protective walls around our hearts.

Intimate contact with others?

Tinder, parties, quick sex...

The illusion of intimacy is omnipresent, never truly satisfying and addictive.

Depth and connection are easily lost

in the gallop of daily life

in the digital jungle

in the social media forest.

And at the end of the day, we go to sleep in our self built coffins of glass.

Often, a certain emptiness remains.

Do you know that feeling?

Can you relate?

I strongly believe I'm not alone in this.

Because the desire for connection and intimacy is more than a dream.

It's a basic human need.

It's a need stored in the depths of our cells.

But currently, we are almost unlearning how to allow, enjoy and stay present with close, intimate contact.

And the further it moves away from our daily lives, the more these unknown depths are holding fear for us.

Let's scatter breadcrumbs so that we remember how to find our way back to this innate capacity for closeness!

Let's look into the mirror and see ourselves with all clarity and remember our own beauty!

Let's practice how to welcome everything in ourselves and others—the princess/prince and the frog!

Let's practice how best to slowly but surely clear the rose hedge around our hearts of the spikey thorns!

Let's relearn how to share our treasures!

Let's meet and explore, shape and experience connection and intimacy together!

Let's practice how to kiss ourselves and intimacy awake again!

So that we remember.

So that we can write new fairy tales.

So that we can live the dream!
