The True Contact training had a profound impact on me. Throughout the weekend, I found myself touching hidden places, uncovering emotions that had so much more to tell me. I left feeling very raw and vulnerable, but also deeply aware that something within me was shifting. For me, this feels like the beginning of something much bigger, almost like an initiation into a new way of being.
I didn’t know what to expect, I just felt the impulse to show up and it was a perfect and beautiful experience. It was spacious, grounding, and beautifully led. The reflection of how am I showing up as the creator of my life and all the feelings, sensations, thoughts attached to that, that hold me back. Walking away with beautiful rituals that I learned.
I didn’t know what to expect. It has this generality that I felt could meet everyone where they are at, while also holding this sacred, deeply personal side that meant the specific work someone is attempting was also met. I am meeting life more composed and less scared. Am grateful. Am nourished. Am curious. I’m speaking to the part of me who is comfortable where they are. I want you to know that life is what it isn’t, but what it isn’t is your choice. And that choice is a dance.
Fresh from a deeply nourishing creative residency on the wild Pacific coast, the evening felt like a beautiful continuation of my journey into embodiment, authentic connection, and the mystery of what’s emerging. As a therapist, artist, and fellow traveler navigating the beautiful messiness of being human, I’m inspired by the space you’re creating for authentic connection, embodied exploration, and transformation. Come as you are, with all your curiosity, vulnerability, and unanswered questions. There’s something beautiful about entering a space where you don’t have to have it all figured out.
I’ve been doing inner child work, internal family systems, for a long time. I’ve done shadow work. I’ve done medicine journeys where these younger parts were able to come out and be held. And what all those have in common is a story. What this training has done for me is to help me drop the story, leave it behind, and drop into the direct experience. In four short weeks, I’ve touched things in my core material that I’ve never touched before. So it’s not a story anymore, I’m just living my life.
I am becoming increasingly aware of how much of my suffering comes from a fear of being intimate with life. I see how this fear keeps me moving nonstop, because to stop, to actually land, would mean becoming intimate with myself and with the experience of being alive. This practice has encouraged me to make contact with that. And on the other side, there’s so much liberation.
What I got to learn here is how to feel met by the world, by the universe. And that you sometimes need to be met by the universe or something else because maybe you didn’t get met by a partner or past relationships. It’s important to know that life just needs to meet you where you are.
I was able to touch parts of myself that had longed to be felt for a long time. I left the weekend feeling empowered — having learned a new practice of meeting myself at any time. To me, it feels like one of the most integrative and potent ways we can incorporate secure attachment into our lives and to life itself.
Through the safety of your guidance, your epic team, the container, and the group, we were able to meet each other within that and access true healing and connection. I can feel that this is truly your life’s work.
Trauma or early wounding and disruptions to contact have very important protective functions. But it also cuts us off from life. And so this is the invitation to reconnect to all those disowned and disconnected parts and places within us and find our wholeness, which is always present — we’re just not always aware that it’s always present. This is such a powerful direct way to do that.
Edmond and Kiki have a beautiful relationship in facilitation. There’s a rawness and realness to it where when they’re doing a demo, they get really right into the heart of the matter, something that’s current and alive with them, even sometimes something that’s still raw and unpackaged. And so they open themselves up vulnerably, to demonstrate trusting the practice, trusting the process that they’ve developed, that it has the ability to hold them and to hold us.
The part that is really good at hiding has found so many cute and curious ways to hide and avoid true intimacy. I’ve known that I needed to contact it, but I’ve never been able to find the space and the safety to do so. That was the hardest part—the being witnessed in the rage, in the shame, in the sadness, in the fear. I still don’t like to be seen but I feel braver and courageous and hungry to do so.
If you are looking for a very accessible way to deepen the field of relating and witnessing in your relationship this weekend is for you. I would especially recommend for new parents navigating rediscovering the relational after baby comes. The whole co-awaken team holds and transmits the practice with such care. It is a worthy investment of energy during that tender time.
It felt so special to learn tools to move energy and emotions with attuned and present physical contact with each other. Feeling met in our emotions is something so many of us never experienced in our most intimate relationships during childhood.
The Sacred Edge workshop is my favorite relating workshop in the Boulder area — such a beautiful, safe container for real transformation. Deep gratitude.
The Sacred Edge is an exquisitely held container for exploring embodied patterns of constriction around eros and life force. These patterns are met safely and skillfully on their own terms, with welcome, tenderness, and slowness. I would highly recommend this workshop series to anyone interested in exploring the places where they pull away from contact, intimacy, and full aliveness.
I loved the authenticity and simplicity of meeting myself and others at the edge. I love how Edmond brings the sacred to the edge of awakening. I could feel my heart opening with ease.
I can feel my little girl believing that she is enough, believing that she is lovable, believing that life’s got her — more and more every time I do this practice.
One of my core fears is that no one’s going to show up for what I do or nothing I ever do matters. And so to literally have someone show up and meet me, that’s everything.
Warm and welcoming, I felt at ease. Let go of fear and just do it!
I attended the last Sacred Edge event put on by Edmond, and I must say — what a beautiful container he created. I felt deeply connected with those around me and truly safe to be myself. As I moved into an intuitive flow within my own energy, I felt my creative life force come fully online. The days and weeks following the event have felt incredibly alive as I felt more comfortable dancing with other, all while staying in my intensity and weaving the afterglow of the experience into my life. It’s a must for anyone truly looking to expand their edge, deepen their capacity, and fully be with life.
A heart-expanding, soul-nourishing, and insight-illuminating experience that truly touched me. To sit and be with yourself, the wisdom of the tea, and the field of secure, family love is such a beautiful opportunity I wish for all.
The sacredness of being together in silence is palpable in tea with Edmond, Kiki, and Ember. The safety of their family invites comfort in stillness. Each time I get the honor of tea with them, I feel inspired to slow down and connect intimately to myself and loved ones.
Growing up, my family was chaotic, noisy, overtaxed, and under-resourced. The contrast with teatime with Edmond, Kiki, and Ember is so palpable. Something in me can settle. There’s enough time, enough space, enough attention for everyone. Nothing needs to be rushed. Highly recommend.
To start the morning with tea in this way is to soften into presence and bask in a field of connection that is beautiful and rare.
Sweet, simple, and powerful. The Sacred Art of Rupture really gave me and my partner the space to dive deeper into patterns that we knew were there, but that we couldn’t quite touch. Edmond’s insightful and keen eye on our dynamics let us illuminate a new path forward. I highly recommend this workshop.
Very simple and yet so targeted and precise that it really opened up something new for me. I’m suddenly seeing all the ways that I get subtly hijacked by my internal creatures, and how that builds distance between my partner and me. The couple’s practice for getting that creature to let go was revolutionary and is going to be a part of our life from now on. A real game changer.
I came in feeling a lot of confusion — around purpose, relationships, and where I’m heading. Through the dyad process, something much deeper revealed itself: a profound distrust of life itself. I’m someone who has done a lot of inner work, yet this practice reached a layer that thinking alone couldn’t touch. It felt as powerful as a medicine journey — without any medicine. Edmond truly holds this work with integrity, presence, and real skill. I would recommend experiencing a dyad session with him to anyone ready to meet themselves more deeply.
