Register to learn and practice building a solid foundation for a healthy, sustainable, Integral Love Relationship. Realize that four essential dimensions of your human being and relating come into intimate contact when you fall in love and enter a committed romantic relationship, regardless of whether or not you and your partner are consciously aware of them. See how these four dimensions are arranged in four quadrants:
- The Upper Left quadrant represents your individual, subjective, interior mind and feelings.
- The Lower Left quadrant represents your collective, intersubjective, interior cultural background, values, and communication.
- The Upper Right quadrant represents your individual, objective, exterior physical body and behavior.
- The Lower Right quadrant represents your collective, inter-objective, exterior social environment.
Understand why it is foundational for any healthy love relationship to integrate, balance, and harmonize these four dimensions.
Notice whether you and your partner are attracted to each other and focused on co-creating in only one or two of these four dimensions/quadrants, while neglecting or ignoring the others, or focused on co-creating in all of them.
Avoid potential relationship conflicts and breakdowns, especially when you focus on relating and co-creating in different dimensions: for example, one of you on the Upper Right physical/sexual and Lower Left cultural, and the other on the Upper Left mental and Lower Right social dimensions.
Experience all four dimensions in an embodied exercise.
