I had no clue how to be spiritually present and surrendered, in touch with her and my feelings, communicate compassionately, listen proactively, communicate my needs without being needy, lead with my masculinity and connect through my feminine, be financially successful but not driven by work or money and sensitive to the environment and animals, act as a tantric lover, own my emotional reactions to her reality, support her in being fulfilled, deal with my shadows, transcend my ego, be a feminist, get out of my head and into my heart, understand my and her personality types, meet her at her level or consciousness ... the list went on and on. Dating felt like stumbling around naked in the dark. Because I wanted to be loved and accepted, I deemed all these demands as legitimate and began to heal, learn, grow and practice.
In fall 2006 I learned about Ken Wilber’s Integral Theory which allowed me to put all the pieces together and to write Integral Relationships: A Manual for Men. The knowledge and practice allowed me to meet most women where they were at, and to develop further with them.
Immanuel Kant wrote: “Experience without theory is blind, and theory without experience is mere intellectual play”. So it was only logical to design an experiential workshop where you can learn, practice and experience the Integral Relationship Model.
