# Event Details - **Event Name**: Conscious Intimacy Basic Training (CIBT) in Asheville, NC - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 07 Aug, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Sun, 09 Aug, 2026 at 06:00 pm - **Event Description**: Somewhere along the way, you learned to become a character. A version of you built to fit in, to stay safe, to be accepted. It worked. It got you here. But that character was never you, and carrying it is quietly wearing you down. You feel it in the exhaustion of being "on" all the time. In the loneliness of being liked for a version of you that isn't real. In the low hum of anxiety that never fully switches off, because some part of you is always managing how you come across. That is what people pleasing, performing and pretending actually cost you. Not your time. Your aliveness. That's why we created the Conscious Intimacy Basic Training. This is not another workshop to sit through, though you'll learn more here than in most of them. This is not therapy, though people tell us this did in a weekend what years of therapy couldn't. This is a place to take off the masks you created to fit into the world. Imagine walking into a room and not performing for a single person in it. Imagine saying the truest thing in your heart and watching people lean in instead of leave. Imagine being fully seen, the real you, not the character, and finding out you were never too much and never not enough. That's who you become here. Not someone with more to manage. Someone with less to hide. You stop leaving rooms wondering if they liked the real you, because for the first time, the real you was in the room. You stop fitting in and start belonging. You stop performing connection and start living it. That is not a feeling you rent for a weekend. It's a capacity you build and take home. Into your marriage. Your friendships. Your kids. Your work, The rooms you'll one day lead. Because these are the skills of conscious relationship, and we train you to master them BEFORE you need them in the "real world." This is for those of us who hold space for everyone else and rarely get held ourselves. For anyone ready to stop performing connection and start living it. There is no n*dity, no g*nital touching, no kissing and no putting your fingers in other people's holes (nose, mouth, ears). Come as the character. Leave as yourself. Spaces are limited by design. This work only happens in a small, held container. We gather over three days in the mountains outside Asheville. Friday, August 7, 6:00 to 9:00 PM, doors close at 6:30pm sharp, no late entry. Saturday, August 8, 12:00 to 6:00 PM. Sunday, August 9, 12:00 to 6:00 PM. We meet at Mandala Springs in Barnardsville, North Carolina, twenty minutes from Asheville, built for exactly this kind of work. This intensive also includes a 5 week self-study program, as well as three months of weekly integration calls.
