Description

Intimacy isn’t a script to perform—it’s a nervous system that feels safe.

Heather and Kent McKean break down intimacy as a personal skill first (self-intimacy), then a relational practice (polarity). They share how wounding can flip masculine–feminine energies, why “better communication” wasn’t enough for them, and what changed after integrating Mind Change with embodied work. You’ll also hear transformational moments from their Intimacy Awakening retreat—roommate dynamics reconnecting, shutdown patterns dissolving, and authentic presence returning.
