Intimacy and the Art of Relating

Below is a brief introduction to a four-fold model of intimacy and relating that I presented at a c3 event called “Return to the Source – The Art of Conscious Loving“. Been working on this particular model for the last few months since a lovely young lady asked me last December what my stance was on relationships (my proclaiming to be a monk has been confusing at times). As I believe we are in a time where we redefine how we relate with each other, where traditional group labels and relationship patterns are dissolving, I think it is crucial to have some foundational agreements around language we use to communicate about our relating. This model is a beginning on this journey.

  We have to understand that the world can only be grasped by action, not by contemplation. The hand is more important than the eye... The hand is the cutting edge of the mind.
