In this section I will describe my journey through romance.
I started my journey into romance in July 2020 and spent until March 2021 in introspection where I tried to deeply understand what my style of romance would look like.
In the Pre-Romance section I share the following things:
In the Introduction I explain why I did not date for 39 years and then why I decided to start the journey.
In the Interview section, I share a list of questions that I asked people to gain wisdom and then a summary of their responses.
In the Literature section, I share some knowledge on Tantric Philosophy that I learned from reading a book and some mathematical ideas on romantic relationships.
My first romantic date was with a cherished friend on the first full moon after the first day of spring. Together we designed a 3 day ceremony that included themes related to Life, Metamorphosis and Death among many other topics. One day we will document this.
After that, I entered into a beautiful 1 year relationship with a truly amazing and beautiful person, Elizabeth. I learned many deep things and cherished every moment and I gifted my firsts. Because I was experiencing romance, for the first time, as a 40 year old, it was important for me to put in lots of thought, deliberation, philosophy, and symbolism and I did that through ceremonies and rituals. Elizabeth has given me full permission to post the details of the ceremonies. Nothing shared below is graphic and the reason that I share it is because I want to communicate and show how I cherished these seminal moments.
After one year, we transformed our relationship from being a romantic relationship to a life long deeply sacred Bestie relationship. We did this through the Relationship Rebirth Ceremony. During this period of heartbreak, I processed my feelings by holding the subconscious event. I also documented some of the collaborative fruits of our relationship which included clothing and my own massage technique.
Finally, after I healed, I met my beautiful and amazing and final girlfriend, Nellie (since July 20, 2023!). Recently we are collaborating on science and fashion.
