Conscious Intimacy Games in Austin, Texas!
Details
It's not your fault if you're lonely as a leader.
More than 60% of people report being lonely and disconnected, and I tell myself the number is even higher when it comes to those of us who are leading others.
Maybe you're a CEO, coach, therapist, facilitator, leader or healer who holds space for others and even though you connect with people often, you still feel as if something is missing.
Sometimes you feel alone even in a group of people, and you wake up with a deep ache in your stomach.
Maybe you used to have a social circle through work, sports or partying on the weekends but you've changed, the world has changed, and you haven't found another way.
That's why I created Conscious Intimacy Games.
A single session of Conscious Intimacy Games can be more impactful than days, weeks, months or even years of surface level, stale and boring connections with others.
After her first session, Rebecca said, "this was better than years of therapy."
My name is Ricky Goodall, and I wasn't always an intimacy coach.
I spent 8 years as a professional MMA fighter, competing 21 times, sometimes on television and other times for world championships.
I created a whole identity as "Ricky Goodall the MMA Fighter," and for a while it worked.
I had major sponsorships, free cars, money, model girlfriends and more, including an ever growing ego.
Then my pride got the better of me and it all came crashing down.
I got knocked out cold in front of thousands of fans in my 16th fight.
I was winning the first round, then with just 3 seconds left I got knocked the f&%k out.
I was out for almost two minutes.
Then when I got to the hospital, I convinced the doctor I was ok so I could spend the next three days drinking and using heavy drugs without sleeping.
Shortly after, I hit rock bottom.
I lost my apartment, my license and my girlfriend, and almost lost my business.
I realized that I couldn't keep living this fake, false identity I created to fit in.
The risk to reward ratio in MMA wasn't worth it, and I could spend just as much time and energy in other pursuits and be more successful.
I wanted to help people, I didn't want to hurt them, but I created this whole life and identity as the "MMA fighter."
I had contracts, corporate sponsorships and commitments, I couldn't just quit...
Finally, after losing four of my last five fights, I retired from MMA in 2014.
A year later, I started a deep, psychological healing journey that led to hundreds of psychology and coaching sessions, and countless plant medicine ceremonies in places like Peru, Mexico and Costa Rica.
I worked under mentors like a Masters Psychologist from Denver, a Shaman from Cusco, a Ceremonial High Magician from Ottawa and a High Performance Coach from Santa Monica.
I learned that what was holding me back in life was two things:
My stories and my strategies.
I had subconscious, limiting stories about myself that were holding me back from feeling more worthy, valuable and capable of creating a more authentic, fulfilling life.
And the strategies I was using to get what I want in my life and relationships were based on the ones I saw my parents, teachers and other influential people using.
Some worked, most didn't.
I realized that if I didn't change my stories and my strategies, nothing was going to change.
That's how Conscious Intimacy Games were born.
Conscious Intimacy Games are talk and touch based games designed to help you create the kinds of relationships that most people couldn't dream of let alone experience.
They're non-s*xual, non-romantic games that can help you have more of everything that you want in life, including but NOT limited to s*x and romance.
They're sensual but not s*xual, intimate but not romantic. They're safe enough to bring your mother to and can be made spicy enough to bring your lover to.
They're NOT a play party, a cuddle party or a temple night.
There's no nudity, no g*nital touching and no putting your fingers in other people's holes (nose, mouth and ears).
They're more like a martial art for your relationships, except instead of sparring against others you're sparring against you're own shadow.
They're talk and touch based games designed to help you create the kinds of relationships that your parents and society couldn't teach you to be in.
Our talk-based games are designed to help you express your truth more boldy in the world.
You'll learn to ask for what you want, say no to what you don't want, set boundaries, say what you mean and mean what you say.
Our touch-based games are designed to help you feel safe to be your true self in the presence of others.
They help you rewire your nervous system for deep, intimate, authentic connection instead of the fake, inauthentic kind that most people experience.
We've hosted more than 60 events and 10 retreats in Canada, Mexico, USA and Costa Rica, and I'm hosting my FIRST Conscious Intimacy Games in Austin, Texas on October 15, 2025 from 6-9pm.
The investment is $33 USD and there are 20 spaces available.

PS if you're shy, introverted, not comfortable with touch, straight, gay, bi, trans, alien, interdimensional being, single, in a monogamous relationship, in an ENM relationship, etc. etc. etc. these are still designed for you, because they're designed for everyone...
...but they're not FOR everyone. They're playful but they're deep, and they can be triggering.
If you're particularly sensitive to being triggered by others right now, they might not be a good fit for you.
But if you're feeling brave and willing to lean into it, they might be exactly what you're needing.
