Awakening And Exploring Desire
With Nicola FosterI am inviting you on a 10 day exploration of your own desires. Why? Because for many of us they have become lost. We are so busy we don't know what want. Or we make ourselves wrong for wanting. Our desires have a lot to teach us about what we need and where we want to go in our lives. What we'll be exploring: Developing a Deeper Understanding of Desire: How desire manifests in the body and mind. Tuning in to the Senses: through awakening sensory awareness, including touch, taste, smell, movement, and imagination. Integrating Pleasure: Learning how to bring moments of pleasure and connection into everyday life, enhancing intimacy with yourself and others.
This course invites you to explore your connection to your own desires through meditations, sensory exploration, and through contemplation.

Meet your Teacher
Nicola Foster is an advocate for the transformative power of intimacy—both in and out of the bedroom. She has been described as the UK's Esther Perel. With over a decade of experience as a professional psychosexual and relationship therapist, she specializes in helping women reignite their libido and guiding couples to bridge desire gaps and to rekindle the intimacy in their relationships. Nicola is also a meditation teacher in the lineage of Instinctive Meditation. Nicola first began meditating in 2007 and ever since she has continued her practice, first in the Buddhist tradition and subsequently in the Tantric tradition. Through her private therapy practice, workshops, her podcast on Intimacy Matters, and her online coaching Nicola supports individuals and couples in overcoming relationship and intimacy challenges to deepen trust, connection, and pleasure. Living near Glastonbury, Somerset, with her partner and workshop co-facilitator Jason, Nicola loves cooking, swimming especially in the sea, dancing, meditation, breathwork, and is usually reading three books at once. Her work is grounded in the belief that the quality of our relationships shapes the quality of our lives—and her mission is supporting relationships that are conscious, happy and full of nourishing love.
