Dating and relationships are powerful portals for self-discovery. Sometimes, we can step in with an open heart, drop our expectations, and surrender to what is. Other times, the path calls us inward. We may need to take a step back - or step out entirely - and descend into the underworld to examine the deeper emotional patterns that continue to surface in connection.
In this 16-minute compilation from The Art of Sacred Intimacy (Austin, 2025), John speaks with participants about how to recognize when it's time to meet dating and relationship with full presence, and when it's time to pause and reflect on the patterns that may be guiding us unconsciously.
When we clear ourselves of the thoughts, expectations, and feelings that block intimacy, we begin to show up more fully in our relationships. We make space not just for our own truth, but for the authentic expression of the other. From there, we can better attune to the moment, align with our core values, and surrender to the unknown - even when it is messy, imperfect, or unfamiliar.
