Slow Down Together To Soften & Connect

The holidays are an especially challenging time for us when our bodies want to slow down, curl up, and rest…and capitalism and family obligations want to extract every last ounce of productivity, creativity, and labor from us.

Lean into the liminal space between December 25 and January 4 (or later, if that's when you can both make the space and time) and connect with one another in ways that make sense for the season.

Learn how to listen to and move toward what feels good and is comforting and nourishing for each of you with seven daily audio-guided micro practices inspired by tantra.

Gently develop the skills and capacity to offer and receive care, support, and intimacy through this season and beyond.

Gender neutral language in audio and written guidance.

Starting on December 25!

Wake up to the first of seven Rekindling Intimacy After The Stress of the Holidays mini audio clips inspired by tantra so you can:

- Reconnect in your relationship

- Be guided to take care of one another in the sweetest of ways

- Replenish after a long, hard year so you can have each other's backs in the next one

- Remember in your bones why you love one another

Come to the live Q&A on Sunday, January 11 from 12-1 pm PT no matter how many practices you completed to share, ask questions, receive coaching, and connect with others!

YOU FEEL:

1. You'll make time for your relationship in the new year but fear you'll have nothing left to give
2. Like you're ships passing in the night and like you might never meet up again
3. There will never be a good time to relax and definitely not together
4. Sleep sounds so much better than intimacy but the guilt plagues you during the day
5. World-weary and uncertain of how you're supposed to feel good when things feel so bad
6. Overwhelmed with insurmountable tasks and expectations that leave you feel unappreciated and exhausted
7. Resentment around everything you're supposed to do and be when all you want to do is disappear under the covers
8. Lonely and disconnected and wondering if this is what life is supposed to be

YOU KNOW YOU NEED TO:

Slow down.

Rest.

Recuperate

Warm up.

Snuggle in.

Care for what arises.

Tend to your fire.

But you know you can't do it on your own.

ABOUT YOUR FACILITATOR:

Daniela (she/they) is a trauma-informed, certified Sex & Intimacy Coach for couples and individuals. She is also a certified Tantric Sex Coach, though she thinks it's more accurate to describe her as a Sacred Sexuality Coach inspired by tantric and taoist practices.

She started learning mindset and practices inspired by tantra and taoism in 2014 through Layla Martin, a white American woman, who was taught by Ma Ananda Sarita, a white English woman who for 17 years trained directly with Osho, an Indian guru. Her tantric practice is also informed by others like Lama Rod Owens, a Black queer Southern man formally trained in the Tibetan Buddhist and Tantric Buddhist lineage.

Named one of the ten best Sex and Intimacy Coaches of 2023 by DatingAdvice.com, she supports people to experience more sex and deeper connection with themselves and with their partner(s) without pushing, forcing, avoiding, or performing.

With over twenty-four years of experience coaching people one-on-one and teaching in college classrooms and wellness spaces, she curates exercises and practices steeped in somatic attachment theory, neuroscience, embodied conflict resolution, trauma resolution, and modern psychology and inspired by ancient tantric and taoist wisdom.

Daniela is a queer cisgendered woman raced as white born in the Bay Area as well as a biological and transnational adoptive parent of three.

She lives and works as an uninvited guest on occupied Ohlone land that’s currently known as San Jose, California in the United States.

For her, nothing is more important than connection.
