Our body yields its wisdom when we meet it with curiosity and offer it safety. In this 1,5 hour workshop, author Deepa Paul leads a deep dive into intimacy as embodied encounter.
Together, we will explore intimacy as an encounter experienced by our bodies, and translated into knowledge that is held within our body.
Access this deep knowing with grounding exercises, guided reflections, and writing prompts for compassionate self-inquiry.
Our senses will serve as our guides into the sanctuary of our bodies, where sensation and time define the singular qualities that bring aliveness, presence and truth to our lived experiences of intimacy.
Drawing from her own experience of writing and publishing the taboo, Deepa will speak on the role permission and consent play in creating safety in our bodies, vulnerability on the page, and intimacy with our readers.
Whether you write for yourself or for an audience—to discover, to heal, to publish, or simply because writing calls to you—you'll leave with a greater understanding of your own personal language for intimacy in this loving encounter with yourself, your body, and your truth.
DEEPA PAUL
Born to Filipino and Indian parents in Manila, the Philippines, Deepa Paul is the author of the memoir ASK ME HOW IT WORKS: LOVE IN AN OPEN MARRIAGE (Viking Books UK, 2025). Gillian Anderson has described ASK ME as ‘stunningly vulnerable and poetic… if this doesn’t change your perspective on relationships, nothing will.’
Her memoir has been translated into Dutch (Je mag me alles vragen, Uitgeverij Nieuw Amsterdam) and German (Wie es mir gefaellt, hanserblau), and soon into Albanian.
Deepa and her book have been featured on ITV’s This Morning, in The Times of London, the Daily Mail, the Irish Independent, the Sydney Morning Herald, Stylist, Vogue Australia, Het Parool, on RTE Radio 1, NPO Radio 1, and more.
She has written for Seventeen Magazine Philippines, The Philippine Star, Philippine Daily Inquirer, and Singapore Women’s Weekly, while her personal essays have been published in RED Magazine, Cheex, Gal-Dem, the Sky Island Journal, Expanded Field and Rappler.
Previously, Deepa was a copywriter for GMA-7, the Philippines’ largest TV network, and for global entertainment brands such as NBC Universal, The Disney Channel, HBO and Netflix.
She lives in Amsterdam with her husband, daughter, and cranky black cat.
