About this speaker
Keith is the founder of Awaken Intimacy Coaching, based in Boulder, Colorado, where he works with individuals and couples who want more depth, connection, and aliveness in their relationships and lives. He specializes in dating, communication, conscious relationships, tantra, and sexuality, blending somatic awareness, sacred intimacy, and embodiment practices to help people reconnect with themselves and each other in honest, powerful ways.
Keith’s work is deeply influenced by over fifteen years of dedicated practice in Zen Buddhism, classical tantra, yoga, and meditation. He also draws on his experience in therapeutic kink and conscious BDSM—integrating desire and shadow as a means of healing and transformation. His approach is direct, intuitive, and shaped by years of guiding individuals through deep, meaningful relational work.
He has facilitated men’s groups and mixed-gender circles for years, holding space for emotional depth, vulnerability, and accountability. His men’s work is centered on fostering emotional honesty, cultivating brotherhood, and empowering leadership rooted in presence and sovereignty. Keith also brings extensive experience in Authentic Relating—offering communication practices that build trust, attunement, and deeper connection.
Keith is the co-founder of The | OPEN | Institute, a platform for embodied education in relational, erotic, and communal intelligence. In 2022, he launched The OPEN Podcast, where he hosts unscripted, intimate conversations on sex, love, polarity, and human connection.
At his core, Keith is someone who’s been on a lifelong path to create a meaningful, turned-on life—and relationships have always been central to that. His work is an extension of that path: helping others come alive, show up fully, and build relationships that feel true to who they are.
