The Missing Love Language: Attunement as the Root of Intimacy
Before love can feel good, it has to feel safe. And safety, for many of us, doesn’t come from flowers or fancy dinners—it comes from attunement.
In this tender, embodied session, Rachel Rickards reveals the missing love language beneath all others: the subtle art of attunement. Drawing from her personal story, facilitation work, and deep inquiry into the nervous system, she’ll explore how attunement is the foundation for intimacy that feels nourishing, alive, and deeply real.
Whether you’re crafting your first date, deepening into a new relationship, or reigniting connection with a longtime partner, this talk will give you tools to:
* Recognize attunement (and mis-attunement) in your body
* Understand why some people feel “off” even when they do everything “right”
* Learn how your early attachment shapes your sensitivity to presence and lack of it
* Bring more attunement into how you listen, touch, speak, and respond
* Create dating experiences that invite real intimacy—not just performance
