Digital Intimacy™

A new framework for connection, growth, and human flourishing in digital spaces.

An infographic titled "The Etymology of Intimacy" explaining the origins of the words "Intimus" and "Intimare" and their meanings related to intimacy. The graphic includes definitions and etymology, showing the connection between inner depth and revealing what is deepest within us.

Why Intimacy?

We often think of intimacy as something private or romantic. But its root meaning reveals something deeper.

At its core, intimacy means the act of revealing what is deepest within us.”

Digital Intimacy™ reclaims this essence by creating space for what’s real to be seen, heard, and shared online:

  • Where hidden patterns become visible

  • Where authentic connection travels across screens

  • Where technology enhances human experience, not replaces it

Digital Intimacy™ marries our Elevate4 platform and Index (for real-time team insights) with hands-on facilitation—turning data into genuine human connection and growth.

Can we find intimacy in the digital space to elevate what makes us human?

What if digital connections didn’t just get things done,
but made us feel more alive, aligned, and together?

The 4 dimensions of Digital Intimacy™

The Digital Intimacy Framework reveals how we create meaningful connections in digital spaces through four interrelated dimensions.

How to read this diagram:

  • The dotted background is RELATE—the encompassing field of our technology relationship.

  • The purple flow shows how SEE, SENSE, and SHAPE move and interact within that field.

At its heart, this model shows that:

SEE - Becoming aware of ourselves and others in digital spaces

SENSE - Feeling the emotional currents in our digital interactions

SHAPE - Creating spaces that hold what needs to emerge

RELATE Building a conscious relationship with technology as the backdrop for all connections.

  • As we deepen our relationship with technology (RELATE), we boost our capacity to SEE, SENSE, and SHAPE.

  • As we strengthen SEE, SENSE, and SHAPE, our relationship with technology (RELATE) transforms.

This reciprocal relationship shows that digital intimacy emerges from the continuous interaction between how we relate to technology and how we connect with ourselves and others within digital spaces.
