Discovering Beauty in Challenges: Igniting Your Erotic Vitality

In our society, we see intimacy

Mindful Sexuality Can Improve Your Sex Life!

“Sitting in circles with couples of different backgrounds, orientations, in ages has shown me that passionate sex is rare in long-term relationships. Many couples report that the real-life sex they are having is more often triggering or a routine. They feel deadended, inadequate, and lonely. I hear the same things in my sex therapy practice. Jerome and Keisha miss the magic they once made in the

Bring New Life to Your Relationship with the RIL

By Karen Baikie, Ph.D

 

Rachel stirs in bed as she hears a familiar noise. Then, with a start, she’s sitting up. The clock says 2:19 am. Glancing over at her husband Craig, who is sound asleep, she raises her eyes to the ceiling, slips out of bed, and makes her way down the corridor towards the noise. Her four-year-old son Joe is sitting on his bed.

Our Couples Retreats: I’m a “hell-yes,”but my Partner’s a no.

Here at Passion and Presence, we usually find that one partner is more interested in our retreats than the other. If you’re reading this article, that’s probably you. Perhaps you’ve done a lot of personal work on yourself through therapy, meditation, or retreats. You put your growth first, and you look for ways to improve your relationship and your erotic life ongoingly.

The problem is your

What’s Hot at Passion and Presence? New Intro Mini-Retreat and More

Like any ingredient of a healthy lifestyle, Awakened Intimacy is not so much a one-and-done kind of thing. It is a path and practice. We’re supporting a transformation in how people orient to sex, pleasure, and intimacy. Change is hard, and in this case, it takes the willingness of both partners to go toward vulnerable and edgy things.

For this reason, we are creating new structures

Our Couple’s Retreat “Tribe Time” Thrives Online

“It’s only been a few days, and we’ve melted into a family,” said a participant only three days into our January 2021 retreat. It was not the first time I listened to such words, but it was great to hear given that this was the first time we had held our couple’s retreat online rather than face-to-face.

Having moved my other courses online, I knew some

Awakening Intimacy: 4 Ways to Start 

The data is out: From studies around the world, some couples have become closer since the covid pandemic began. Some of us are beginning to feel safe enough to re-engage since we’re not batting down the hatch so fervently.

Some of us, however, have experienced more stress and less sexual and emotional satisfaction over the last few years. If you are one of those couples, it’s easy to

Passion & Presence: Like Enlightenment, Only Naked

Suppose you’ve been following us at Passion and Presence. In that case, you might be under the assumption that our Awakened Intimacy Couple’s Retreats are specifically for people who are struggling sexually and that they’re not for you if you aren’t.

In actuality, couples who have a great sex life already still benefit enormously from our programs. Those participants typically enjoy even more fulfilling sex by

Anti-Racism, Intimacy, and Daring to Be in Discovery

If a genie granted me one wish, it would be to awaken. For me, that means approaching life without filters. I would meet reality as it is and respond with impulses born of the moment, rather than in accord with my habits and programs.

Such an expanded consciousness enables us to have novel experiences, ongoingly, rather than re-enacting patterns that confirm our expectations and limiting beliefs.

Calming Down Our Anxious Brains in the Age of Social Distancing

It’s an odd disjunction to be in a high-touch field—intimacy, and sexuality—during an epoch of social distancing. At the same time, we are living in a time of forced togetherness as couples and families, while grappling with significant anxiety.

Perhaps you feel like the end of days is upon us. Many of us glue ourselves to newsfeeds that tell us the worse is yet to come. While
