Love in intimate relationships must evolve into a spiritual practice if it is to survive and thrive. Committed intimate relationships provide an optimum environment for love to become more robust, trusting, resilient, skillful, precise, conscious, and compassionate—that is, more spiritual. In this couples workshop, we focus on cultivating three aspects of intimate love that are the foundation of spiritual practice: being unconditionally present, expanding one’s capacity for compassion, and strengthening faith in our own and each other’s essential goodness. Richard and Antra Kalnins Borofsky’s special gift is their ability to authentically embody what they are teaching, and at the same time make it practical, precise, and easily learnable. They share their own unique and elegantly simple set of exercises for couples that cultivate a deep sense of connectedness to oneself, one’s partner, and the source of love itself. This couples workshop is open to all couples—young or old, married or unmarried, and of any sexual orientation—who are interested in mastering the intimate art of deeply loving one another. Helping professionals will learn new skills for their practice. Richard Borofsky, EdD, and Antra Kalnins Borofsky, EdM, are master teachers in the art of intimacy. Their clarity, compassion, and contagious humor are the fruit of 40 years of being together as a couple and 36 years of working as couples’ therapists in their Cambridge, Massachusetts private practice and in workshops nationally. beingtogether.com |
