RADICAL INTIMACY

Zoe Kors

Cultivate the Deeply Connected Relationships You Desire and Deserve

A practical step-by-step methodology for nurturing and sustaining our intimate relationships through first focusing on self, extending to partners, and the world.

Zoe Kors draws on her experience as an intimacy coach, workshop leader and sex and relationships writer, sharing her powerful - and practical - step-by-step methodology for nurturing and sustaining our intimate relationships over time. Radical Intimacy addresses the essential truth that is almost universally missed in discussions of sex and intimacy: We can meet each other only to the extent that we can meet ourselves. Kors guides the reader on a five-part journey through nine areas of opportunity for deepening intimacy with themselves, their partner, and their world, inviting them to embrace emotional, physical, and energetic self-mastery, which is required to skillfully relate with others.
Voice-driven, accessible - with the right amount of tough love - Radical Intimacy rewrites the rules (and The Rules) by:

- Introducing the concept of "Energetic Intimacy" as a real thing. Kors talks about concepts like presence and energy, in a way that is accessible and makes sense to the mainstream market (not woo-woo!).
- Defining and busting "The Attachment Myth"Kors' term for the rampant and erroneous belief that women emotionally attach to their sexual partners. She rewrites the common narrative, giving women freedom and agency to own their embodied sexuality without guilt or shame.
- Shifting the vocabulary around sex and intimacy to feel real, organic, and unapologetic by speaking with ease and confidence about sex and sexuality - no euphemisms, no air quotes, no beating around the bush (so to speak).
- Telling the truth that sex is not effortless. Great sex is cultivated over time through practice.
- Evangelizing intimacy as an ongoing and life-altering practice that happens not just between two people, but on an individual level first.
- Dismantling porn-culture's stronghold on the misperception of women's bodies and sexuality so that we may respect, revere, and fall love with women (and ourselves) for the magical and varied creatures we are.

We live in an always?on, hyper?connected age that disconnects us from ourselves, distracts us from what matters in life, and erodes our capacity for intimacy. But as Zoe Kors argues, all is not lost. Drawing on her experience as a coach and educator, she makes the case for the importance of strengthening our capacity for intimacy, and shows how it can helps us deepen our relationships, connect with those we love, and better understand ourselves. In today's world, nothing could be more radical.

Zoë is channeling all of her wisdom, passion, pain and pleasure into this work, and, as a result, it's thoroughly authentic and unique.

Zoë Kors is a profound listener... and what is intimacy other than the ability to truly listen without bias and without judgement? This listening comes through in her writing and in her work. I am grateful to have encountered, grown, and learned from both.

I come across so many people through my work who are utterly confused by intimacy. Zoe's thought?provoking read book shines a new light on intimacy, especially for those generations of us that grew up afraid and ashamed of our bodies and emotions. Radical Intimacy is a powerful toolkit to help solve these issues this issue.

Never has the work of relationship, connection and vulnerability been more important. Radical Intimacy is a guidepost on how to take wise action in these uncertain times with skill, compassion, playful curiosity and sass.

If Esther Perel and Glennon Doyle had a love child who was raised by Pema Chödrön, you would end up with Zoë Kors.

There's only one path and we are all on it. We are always in 'intimate relationship' with everything in the universe, because everything in the universe is in us. This book is a roadmap through the jungle of our fear and longing for love... into the warm heart of our true being.

Radical Intimacy is the conversation and guidance that not only helps you, it can heal you. Zoe Kors continues to leave me awe struck, with her innate and delicate ability to navigate the complexity and necessity of sexual intimacy. I am elated, to know and to call this brilliant mind a friend, and a living oracle.
