How can we practice creating greater personal alignment and harmony as we move through the world of relationships, and do so via the gifts of radical openness, sex positivity, and adaptative freedom conjoined with relational integrity, honesty, transparency, and deep care for those with whom we share intimacy and time, regardless of each relationship’s type, duration, and/or frequency?

The above is not a question that we’ll answer definitively… rather, we’ll explore it through a Buddhist lens that aims at utilizing orientations and approaches that support us in our communal inquiry and individual processes. Thus, the overall intention of this offering is to offer perspectives and practices in navigating the many ways that we can show up for ourselves and others with attuned presence, continually deepening care, and an increased sense of relational ease and freedom.
