Hi community☺️😊😍🥰💞
I am working on a project and I would love your feedback and input on my event and request for support
Intimacy Communication workshops for Q.L.D. Mental Health Week
Intimacy Communication for mental health
Personal mental capabilities to cope with life are intrinsically interlinked with the how our world functions, how our community functions. Our personal mental wellbeing is interlinked with our community wellbeing. With Intimacy Communication we explore communication, with in ourselves, with each other and with our community and our wider society. Through focusing on our intimate communication, we acknowledge that and how our personal value is intrinsic to our community value, and visa versa.
Communication is key to our learning, communicating to learn about ourselves and each-other. Being able to enact what we learn is key to comprehensive and sustainable learning, through intimate communication we can develop skills and tools to share ourselves with each other and our communities. This intimate base of communication shares our self so that we can enact what we learn from each other.
Intimacy Communication sessions are facilitated using a base of supportiveness as a model for processing, handling, coping with and thriving with adversity. This approach of supportiveness for handling adversity is based on the concept that we learn about handling the difference of adversity from each other. And that to learn in ways which are supportive enable us to enact, to know how to use what we learn.
We ‘pick up’ millions of tiny bits of information from each other and the world around us, our environment, we use the context of situations to make sense of how to use this information. We use familiarity to discern the information of every situation, as much as we have familiarity with the written word, we have many more thousands of years of familiarity with the physical interaction with other people, life, and our environments, therefore our use of in-person familiarity to learn is the most efficient and effective way to share learning. Intimacy is our most familiar information and ways of interaction and use of this information.
Familiarity is a protocol of contextualisation, which we use for efficiency to process and handle the millions of bits of information in any situation.
Using the familiarity of intimate communication to describe and define our value to establish parameters and protocols for handling and making the most of adversity.
By using Intimacy Communication to develop our value we build our communities for all of us as valuable individuals, therefore working together in our societies for all of us.

Hello … my name is Jason Gonzalez, I am contacting you to request support in organising and running events for the Q.L.D. Mental Health Week. I am running a few culminative events called Intimacy Communication in the Noosa area for Q.L.D. Mental Health Week and as an introduction to ongoing personal-community enabling support workshops.
As the core function and aim for these workshops is community engagement for social cohesion I am asking for support, though I will run these events myself, if need be, and develop community support gradually.
I have been researching in my own life for many years how to address individual and world problems, huge I know though my approach of looking for theorem-based problem identification therefore theorem-based solutions has resulted in a personal sense of understanding how life functions which has worked for me in making the most of adversity and nurturing loving and cooperation of familiarity. Over the last twenty something years of adverse and lovely personal circumstances, many many in-depth interpersonal based jobs, and the last five years of academic study, I have identified, learnt, and developed a communication-based theorem which addresses personal, interpersonal, community and societal problems. This theorem is simply communication, therefore capability based rather than outcome orientated. This means its universally relatable and usable, it is novel, so it builds on fundamentals of our cultures of using communication.
Through personal, work, and academic study I learnt that communication is key to getting things done, though nuanced and contextualised communication is sustainably efficient. I have identified that the value an individual feels, develops and utilises of themselves in their immediate context and within their community and societal context is crucial to sustainable efficiency. I have identified that communication is how we develop and share our value and each-others value. Every moment of every day we are exposed to and process millions of bits of information, how we manage this information determines how effective our actions are in survival, thriving and wellbeing. We utilise familiarity to mange information processing and utilisation. We use what we identify as familiar to process and handle and make the most of unknowns such as the unknowns of adversity. I theorise that what we identify as intimate is stuff that is familiar, and because this is very personal and it is personal value based, by sharing, communicating intimately we nurture and develop our capabilities of communicating and developing our personal value and within the context of our social world. This approach maintains and nurtures self-determination and autonomy and within the context of community and society.
In Intimacy Communication workshops I endeavour to nurture this conversation of how we can communicate our value, and in doing so we nurture and develop our personal value and in the context of our communities.
Communicate with intimacy for wellbeing
Communicate with intimacy for your wellbeing and our shared wellbeing
Communicating with a little intimacy you share and show your value, communicating with a little intimacy we nurture our value
The familiarity of intimacy in communicating shows other people how we use our value, we can learn from each-other how to express and use our value
Develop your personal interaction skills with a little intimacy in your communication
Intimacy Communication as consent practice: deepen and diversify your communication affecting your relationships.
We communicate all of the time; a single heartbeat sings a wave of communication out into the world interacting with whatever is around as we are interacting, we are communicating with whatever is around us. Our speech, eye contact body movement and touch are all ways we communicate with interaction. We as human beings are interaction communication aficionados, we have so many nuanced ways and tools of communication where we can say sooo much. Our communication is sooo much a part of who we are it is significant to how we are. The personal-ness of communication is why I call this practice Intimacy Communication. We are always being intimate when we communicate, at the very least, in the tiniest ways. Though tiny the intimacy in our communication can be a multitude of subtleties interacting back and forth between us as our uniqueness and nuance share and develop. This happens within ourselves and with our environment, including each-other.
We are all learning to communicate, through our presence and expression to our intent-full words and actions. We can be intently purposeful with our communication, and we can be aware of how our communication flows back and forth between each-other. We can speak with consent-full intimacy, respecting and sharing ourselves with each-other. In doing so we nurture ourselves and eachother. One aspect of this approach is awareness, the practice of being aware of yourself and your environment ever learning how to respond and express, through presence and action.
This Intimacy Communication is a gentle practice, steeped in eons of learning how to communicate, passed, and developed through generations throughout existence, this learning communication is now in our hands to nurture for generations to come. From the behaviour of the tiniest particles communicating to the multitude of complexities in a heartfelt announcement our communication shapes us in the most intimately personal ways to profound existential formations of who we are as lifeforms and how we survive, together we grow.
Intimacy Communication sessions are like 30seconds of intimate contact unpacked over a couple hours, deconstructed to learn what we are doing, to enmesh a moment of experience with our whole selves for how we wish to interact and experience life via connection. Immersion in the moment embracing where we have grown from into where and who we are forming into. The hope, theory and idea of Intimacy Communication practice is to embody, to acknowledge that we learn, that there is soooo much going on in the smallest of moments and how do we embrace, embody as much of the moment as we can, how to appreciate and utilise as much of a moment as we can, how to function on a moment to moment, hour by hour, day to day, throughout our lives and our participation in the entirety of our existence, basis.
I am hurting, I don’t want to feel and face it alone, anymore. I have identified what and how I heal this hurt and I want to share the how’s, why’s and what I have formulated to process and heal from hurt, to grow wiser and more capable to embrace adversity, I just don’t want to do it alone anymore. This is why and how I am approaching, offering and inviting you to practice Intimacy Communication.
Part of how I am sharing myself through this practice, of Intimacy Communication, is creating a space like a warm, welcoming womb because I spent the first week of my life in a glass box as a premature baby so, I have learned to turn workshop space into a warm, welcoming nurturing space so we can form a place within ourselves of nurture with immediate diverse connection with our environment and other people, animals are welcome too.
I haven’t been and am not totally alone it just feels like it, which is how I have been able to define myself and my techniques and processes always keeping in mind and in structure to share to be in a constant state of sharing. To acknowledge our value, to, for and from eachother our inherent and progressing value, and our culminative, corroborative and collaborative value nurturing and building.
Inspirations for intimacy Communication: the equity and equality of consent enact-ability, the ever so gentleness of trauma informed practice, the clarity of The Declaration of Human Rights and constitutional and Bill of Rights development, the listening to ourselves and others in the how’s and why’s of communication in Non-violent Communication (NVC, Marshall Rosenberg), the sensing and engaging with dance partners in Biodanza dance (Catherine of Biodanza Australia), the exploring of touch movement in Contact Improvisation, the warm welcoming safe atmosphere of Ecstatic Dance (Monica and Adrian of Ecstatic Dance Brisbane), the multiplicity of why and how we are in Family Constellation, the honouring of self and the dynamic nature in the collaborative practice of Devising Performance (drama theatre course at University of the Sunshine Coast with Hannah Banks), “be like water” perspective of fluid oneness (Bruce Lee), my personal experiences in research of the power of compassion in hostility leading to valuing eachother and working together rather than against, the environmentalism of contextual interaction of Australian Indigenous people, the information and communication inherent in existence in quantum physics, kinship and curiosity of running with kangaroos, the stillness of sitting with snakes, being seduced by the songs and flight of birds, the dynamics of cuddling with cats, the compassionate nature of socialising with dogs, sleeping and understanding with spiders, the invigoration of glimpses of whales and dolphins, the depth and flow of the water in rivers and oceans, the perspective alterations of mountain views and travel, the inspiration of community from Rainbow and The Joining Gatherings, the hope envisaged by every human interaction I have ever had.
Intimacy Communication is an attempt to intentionally initiate a restructuring of what we value in our economies. To equip us all to be able to discern the valuableness’s of an individual and within the context of our global societies and to converse these valuableness’s to nurture and develop the survival of humanity via value recognition.
Intimacy communication is simply diverse conversation.
With Intimacy Communication we will enable ourselves to reformulate how we comprehend our systems, reforming our ecosystem.
Intimacy Communication is premised on contextualised self-determinate information processing, autonomously community contextualisation, community contextualised self-determination communication
Intimacy Communication is based and facilitated with integrity, consent, and accountability
My ethos is to provide a comprehensive as practical nurturing atmosphere and environment. From every single way I have experienced people being I have formed a detailed and nuanced place of acceptance and support, so when you experience a moment’s sensation the atmosphere and environment, I create sees you. This environment supports you to look at the details of what make up your moment of experience.
Through communication we practice consent, through attentive association we practice accountability through accountability we learn and grow.
Intimacy Communication session is like 30seconds of intimate interaction (a dance, a kiss or a fight) unpacked over an entire session
What will an Intimacy Communication Event actually comprise of?
The environment will have presentations of descriptions of what, how and why Intimacy Communication is, so people can read and discuss with each other. Therefore, depending on how many people attend multiple facilitators will be required (about a 1:10 ratio, one facilitator to ten participants).
