Culture Of: Intimacy

When you read the word: intimacy what comes to mind? Is it something sexual? Something funny? Something sad? Fact. Nearly half of Americans have experienced deeper intimacy in their dreams than in real life. In nonfiction’s “Intimacy In America” Report, 21% of Americans say they have no one in their lives they can be 100% themselves with. We’re craving intimate connections and yet avoiding them like the plague. Vulnerability seems to be “on trend” but when “everyone’s doing it,” it almost feels inauthentic. Yeah…we feel that too. But we think there’s a better way.

Come get comfortable with intimacy. Intimacy requires us to know ourselves before we can connect with another and ultimate with those around us. We’re exploring the spectrum of connection in three ways: self, one-to-one and community. We’ll start with a few curated experiences then hear from dope speakers from all walks of life. A spoken word playwrighting wordsmith, a painter, an ex-dating coach, an author and some surprises along the way.
