This workshop focuses on giving your scene partner clear gifts about the base reality (their who and the where and what) in your organic and premise initiations and openly accepting those gifts as the receiver. The sooner we’re on the same page with our base reality the easier it can be to identify what is unusual, how we feel about it, and the potential for heightening and exploration.
