intimacy & love

Intimacy (noun) is the quality of closeness that’s achieved by being intimate (verb), meaning to reveal oneself in a vulnerable manner, to make oneself be known by the other. This is one specific practice of love that Kitty explores.

Looking at love as a verb.
To love is not a happenstance, it is a practice that takes a community to nurture. How do we create an ecology that cultivates our capacity to love and to connect with one another?
Progress


In Denmark, I looked into practical tools - in terms of policy, architecture, and cultural facilitation - that facilitate and ease people to connect/get intimate in public.
