What is an Intimacy Speakeasy? A safe, fun space to learn how to "speak easier" about intimacy. By intimacy, I mean the emotional, mental, and physical parts of our relationships that are often the hardest to talk about. What to Expect: A gathering with teaching, small-group conversations, spot-coaching, and fun — all inside an actual speakeasy in Pacific Beach. The event is 5-7 p.m., but you are free to stay on and enjoy the Captain’s Quarters speakeasy (which also has food). Your Host: Dr. Jenn Gunsaullus is a sociologist, intimacy speaker, relationship coach, and author who has been leading conversations around intimacy for more than 30 years. Fee: First drink is free! The fee is $25, but you get to choose from two featured cocktails or a mocktail, thanks to our generous hosts at Captain’s Quarters. You must RSVP and pay in advance at the link provided.
