Come Together by Unyoked x NORMAL

An Off Grid Intimacy and Connection Course

Words by Cam Grant · Photography by Intone Films

Despite what many of us have grown up seeing on TV and reading in magazines, being a good lover takes time, practice, and a little bit of work. 

Nobody is born blessed with top-notch communication talents, excellent bedroom abilities, or the expertise to navigate any conflict or concern with ease. These are all skills that are learned over the course of a lifetime—and today, we’re inviting you to take some time out and learn these skills with us.

We’ve partnered with Unyoked to bring you ‘Come Together’, our off-grid intimacy course designed to bring you and your partner closer together.

At NORMAL, we’ve always aimed to be your go-to resource for everything you need to explore your sexuality. We’ve got toys, courses, articles, and all of the extra goodies (hello lube!) that you need to connect with your sexual self in a way that’s fun, safe, easy, and shame-free.

And at Unyoked we know everything there is to know about the benefits of disconnecting from the busy modern world and spending time in the Aussie outdoors. We're on a mission to make it easy and accessible to get out into nature, and we've got the science to back it up—so next time you’re in the need to switch off, slow down or step back, come and check out what a bit of nature can do for your stress levels, your mood, and even your brain development.

Together, NORMAL and Unyoked have joined forces with professional sex coach Georgia Grace to create a smart and simple course covering everything you need to know about intimacy and connection.

In our first lesson, Georgia will take you through the basics of Desire: what it is, how it works, how to make it spark, and what to do if it doesn’t. Then we’ll tackle Stress: we’ll discuss how it can impact relationships, how to cope with stress individually and together, and some practical and easy ways to introduce mindfulness into your relationship. Lastly, we’ll look at Communication. We’ll help you get comfy talking about even the thorniest of topics, give you some insight into body language, and we’ll get you started on some easy activities to help boost communication in your relationship.

We’re bringing Come Together to you from one of Unyoked’s gorgeous remote cabins on Dharawal land in Southern New South Wales. You certainly don’t need to book a weekend away in a remote forest to do this course, although we did—partially because we wanted to get out of the city, but mostly because we wanted to find out for ourselves how good it can be to disconnect and get back to nature.

The first episode of Come Together drops on February 14. We invite you to come along with us: switch off the TV, put your phone on silent, and get off-grid with NORMAL and Unyoked.

Want to relax, reconnect, or just spend some time getting back to nature? Check out the NORMAL x Unyoked collaboration here, helping you get in touch with nature and in touch with yourself in the wild outdoors.
