In this Q&A session from the 2022 Valentine’s Intensive, John answers questions and works with participants on how to bring present-moment grief or anger into intimate practice, how to unwind deeply grooved habits and patterns in long term relationships, and how to move beyond surface-level desires into the more nourishing ones that live in the deep heart.

Who this compilation is for:

Our weekend intensives attract participants from all levels. Some are advanced practitioners. Others are experiencing John and this work for the first time. So the questions and teachings offered here will cover a wide range of terms and topics. If you have a question about any of the content in the Virtual Workshop, we highly encourage you to bring it to John during one of our monthly Office Hours calls that are included with your membership.
