Landmark Education “Sex and Intimacy” Seminar

I recently completed the Landmark Education Sex and Intimacy Seminar and wanted to share some thoughts. The Landmark Education Sex and Intimacy Seminar is one of many courses offered by Landmark Education and entails 10 sessions which took place over the course of 5 months. The seminar crossed over Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years, so we had several multi-week breaks throughout the program.

I took this seminar with my girlfriend, which put us in a place to confront many of the nagging issues in our relationship. As we explored in the Sex and Intimacy Seminar, we found that much of the resentment and indifference that arises in relationships comes from things that go unsaid. As an example, I might interpret something that my girlfriend does and I might form a judgment around my interpretation. If I keep my interpretation to myself, it becomes ‘the truth’ to me and creates a space between us. Once you can open up and share these issues with each other, you instantly create room for greater intimacy. We’ve been dealing with a lot of long-term questions and while things are not perfect, at least we are dealing with our problems.

In the end, this seminar offered the opportunity to open up the communication in my relationship. Instead of hiding our feelings, we can now share (more) freely about what we are feeling at any given moment. It isn’t productive to keep your thoughts bottled inside because while you might be temporarily saving someone’s feelings, it will create a space between you that can be hard to overcome.

If you are interested in The Landmark Forum or other programs, I have written several posts about Landmark Education.
