Description:
If you’re ready to live from the liberating depth of love, and to engage life’s most challenging relational moments with openness and artfulness, this teaching will show you how to create a field of presence, truth, and open-hearted embrace.
In the book Intimate Communion, David Deida presents a structure for relationships based on three stages of relating. The first centers on self “What do I need”, the second on mutuality “What do we both need”, and the third on surrender “What does love itself need in this moment”. While this teaching is illuminating, its power grows exponentially when brought from the head into the body, through the openness of an undefeated heart.
In this teaching from The Art of Sacred Intimacy, Cascais, Portugal, 2024, John speaks on the embodied practice of The Three Stages of Relating. When we live them fully, we learn to stand in love and truth without demanding the moment, or the person before us, to change. It’s not a bypass—it’s a devotion to love’s highest calling.
