Worktalk: Creating and Navigating Intimacy in Archiarchy - Vera Franco & Meredith Witt

Women in Patriarchy are taught that physical safety, intimacy and love will come if they give their power and authority to men. That if they manipulate and control their bodies, if they wear beautiful clothes and eat at fine dining restaurants, or if they get swept away by the sexy man at a hotel bar, they will be loved. And once they have love, they need to be young, sexy, luscious but athletic, un-needing, and available, so that their partners don’t leave. Women learn to completely suppress and then ignore their real wants. They instead have a ‘near-life’ experience inside a myriad of fantasy worlds. These fantasies entertain their surviving mind and keep their heart from actually experiencing authentic relating and love.  Relating is a field where ongoing groundless creation of ecstatic intimacy can happen. Adult and Archetypal relating happens in reality. Creating and Navigating the space to where Intimacy is possible requires transformation, healing, and practice.  This worktalk is about being in the Gap of all your constructs and sourcing love from your adult ego state navigator. To discover how to move from the source of the authentic wants of your Being. Going beyond the fantasy of what life should be like and into the groundless, vulnerable present.  Creating and Navigating Intimacy is an ongoing, moment-to-moment co-creation and collaboration, a dance of constant discovery and invention.  What do you really want? How do you really want to relate outside of Patriarchy? And how can you hold space and navigate in such a way that Intimacy and Love happen? We invite you Women, to explore the territory of sourcing the space of Archan Relating and Intimacy.
