Intentional Intimacy – Women's Support Group

 

Details

Dates: Thursdays, 20 May - 24 Jun, 2027
Time: 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM
Venue: 8/F Living Room
Lead Facilitator: Emily Kusunoki

Takes a deeper look into our basic need to connect in relationships—whether in our romantic lives or with family—and the struggles encountered along the way.

This group takes a deeper look into our basic need to connect in a relationship, whether it be in our romantic lives or with our families, and the struggles we encounter along the way. We aim to understand ourselves more deeply so we can bring more of our whole selves to God and others—every part of us!

Are you seeking deeper connections in your relationships, whether in your romantic life, friendships, or with family? We invite you to participate in our upcoming support group, designed to help you navigate the complexities of these important connections.

In our daily lives, we often wear masks to hide our true selves, concealing our vulnerabilities and struggles. This support group, led by qualified facilitators, offers a safe and welcoming environment to explore these themes. Together, we will delve into how our attachment styles and family of origin shape who we are today, including the dynamics of friendship.

Through engaging discussions and activities, we will:

  • Uncover the masks we wear and the reasons behind them
  • Explore our attachment styles to understand how they impact our relationships
  • Examine how our early family experiences influence our current connections, including friendships
  • Foster self-awareness and understanding, empowering you to bring your whole self to God and to others

 

By embracing every part of who we are—our joys, challenges, and vulnerabilities—we can build more meaningful relationships, including deeper friendships.

Don’t miss this chance to enrich your relationships and deepen your faith!
