TRUTH BASED RELATING

A 6-Week Initiation into Embodied Intimacy, Sacred Polarity & Radical Honesty.

 

For singles and couples ready to stop performing and start loving in truth and to finally experience the fierce love, the passion, and connective intimacy deep down you know is possible.

Does this hit home?

You don’t just want more information or another course to add to your to-do list. You want to feel different. Not “off”, not “blocked”. You want to live, love, and lead from a deeper place.

You long to feel met. Held. Seen, not for who you try to be, but for who you truly are.

You’re tired of:
🜃 Choosing partners who can’t meet you emotionally
🜃 Struggling to express your needs without triggering conflict
🜃 Feeling disconnected, misread, or shut down
🜃 Sabotaging love with overthinking, avoidance, or control
🜃 Longing for more intimacy, but unsure how to create it

Or maybe
 you’re in a healthy relationship. The foundation is strong; you’re good at communicating, and the love is there, but something deeper is calling. You want more aliveness, more passion, more of you to show up in intimacy, but you’re not sure what’s blocking you.

We’ve heard this countless times, and we want you to know, you’re not alone, and there’s definitely nothing wrong with you.

You feel the call to evolve together, and the block you’re experiencing? It’s only there because no one ever showed you how truly to relate THIS deeply.

“Longing is not enough.
Living your truth can only come from an insatiable yearning to be in the heart.
At all costs.”


- Steve Shiva Corbett

THE TRUTH MOST OF US CARRY
ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS

Most of us were never taught how to truly relate.

We inherited survival strategies (which aren’t based on thriving).
We learned to shut down, over-function, avoid conflict, or stay silent.
We were taught how to attract love, but not how to hold it. (this is a big one!)
How to give, but not how to ask.
How to please, but not how to stay rooted in your truth, your boundaries, your desires.

We were never taught how to:
🜃  Ask for what we want without spiralling into guilt
🜃  Speak needs without apologising or assuming they won’t be met
🜃  Express desires without shame or fear of rejection
🜃  Set boundaries without collapse or defense
(and then later abandoning them because we are afraid to lose the thing we love most, in the end only losing ourselves).


So instead, we guard our hearts and our truth.
We protect ourselves from pain and rejection.
But in doing so, we disconnect from loves pure source.

 

Call To Action

“When we protect ourselves from pain, we also protect ourselves from joy.”

- Gabor Maté

WELCOME TO TRUTH BASED RELATING

A 6-week live online journey to find your deeper truth so you can create the relationships you’ve always longed for.

 

This is not just another course; this is an initiation into deeper levels of intimacy and conscious relating.

It’s not about more concepts or knowledge; it’s about practice, embodiment, and healing old patterns that get in the way of creating the deepest love your soul knows is possible.

This is a full-body remembering of what it means to be fully human, and to love, in truth, with yourself and with others.

Whether you're single, partnered, or somewhere in between

This is a space to bring the parts you’ve been hiding, and discover that you’re not too much and that you can feel confident to share your deepest desires, without the guilt hangover.

If you feel that tightness in your chest and your light has been dimmed, this is for you.

Your truth is powerful, your truth is important, and embodying your authentic self will set your life free.

🜃 You want to feel safe expressing your needs, desires, and boundaries

 without shame. You want “no” to be met with love - and “yes” to open doors, not pressure.

🜃 You’re longing for deeper trust, intimacy, and presence
You don’t want surface-level connection anymore. You want eye contact that softens you. Words that land in your heart. Sex that leaves you in tears.

🜃 You’re with a partner you love and want to go even deeper
The relationship is good - but you know there’s more. You want passion that keeps unfolding. Truth that makes you feel even closer. Depth that keeps surprising you.

🜃 You’ve done the inner work alone. Now you’re ready to live it out loud together
You’ve done the work and now you want to embody it - in your love life, your communication, your leadership, your pleasure.

This is me

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING

"There’s something I’ve been sitting with since the Tantra Festival, and I feel the need to let it be spoken. It’s a deep thank you, not just for what you do, but for who you are and the space you hold for men.

What you offer through your retreats and presence
 it’s more than guidance, it’s medicine. Real, honest, gritty, tender medicine. I’ve come to realize more than ever that as men, we need each other. Not in some abstract way, but in the most primal, soul-saving sense.

We can’t keep carrying the myth that we must hold it all alone. We can’t keep bringing the weight of our pain, our fear, our unspoken grief to the women in our lives and expect them to carry what only a brother can truly witness and understand.

In those sacred circles of men, something breaks open. The masks fall. The tension in the jaw releases. The shame finds breath. And in its place, something ancient and powerful rises, a deeper masculine. One that leads not from dominance, but from presence. One that protects not from fear, but from love.

As a father of two young boys, this work feels even more urgent. I look into their eyes and know I must become the man I never had, so they don’t have to spend their adulthood undoing what was done in childhood. But I can’t do that alone. None of us can.

That’s why your work means so much to me, Steve. It’s not just changing the men who show up, it’s shaping a different future. A world where men hold each other instead of competing, where strength and softness walk hand in hand, and where our sons can grow up free.

With deep brotherhood and gratitude,

A son, a man and a father committed to breaking generational cycles so his sons may never have to carry what was mine to heal."

"As a couple, we are deeply grateful for the transformative experience we had in Steve and Amanda’s workshop. Their ability to model playful sensuality allowed us to expand our capacity for eroticism, sensuality, passion, and pleasure in ways we had never explored before.
 

Through their expert guidance and carefully designed exercises, we were able to move beyond traditional fears and step into a more open and fulfilling expression of our desires; both in sensuality and sexuality. The retreat provided a space where we could break free from limiting beliefs, allowing us to experience intimacy in a way that felt more passionate, playful, and deeply connected than ever before.
 

Our time in the workshop redefined how we approach our relationship, igniting a newfound excitement and deepening our bond. We left with a glow in our eyes, a renewed sense of intimacy, and an eagerness to continue expanding our understanding of passion, love, and pleasure together.
 

We wholeheartedly recommend Steve and Amanda’s work to any couple seeking to explore, expand, and deepen their connection in the most joyful and liberating way."


— Kirk & Simone

"Steve Shiva created a space where I could finally drop my shame and guilt. I felt truly seen and supported, grounded in a safe container where I could express myself fully. His work helped me connect deeply with my masculine energy while opening my heart with compassion. Steve is honest, disciplined, and deeply kind, a rare guide for anyone seeking true transformation."

— Alexander Cottle, Transformational Coach & Founder of Unmasked Man Project

Frequently Asked Questions

ABOUT SHIVA’S JOURNEY

 

This course is not taught from theory. It’s taught from truth.

I’m not here to impress you. I’m here to walk with you, right into the heart of what’s real.

I’m a qualified coach. I’ve got a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and I’m a graduate member of the British Psychological Society. I’ve trained in Holistic Counseling and accredited embodiment modalities. So yes, I’ve studied.

But my greatest teacher? Life. Messy. Raw. Humbling. And radically honest.

I’ve climbed the ladders - been to the dark side just to make money. I had the car, the view, the paycheck, the lifestyle. But inside? I felt nothing. Empty. Disconnected from others and myself. Unable to connect to the depth that I was longing for, because I had not learned how to create and maintain healthy and loving relationships. I had learned to not speak the truth, to be someone else, in order to get love. Then I realised, how could I feel the love I am longing for when I don`t show the real me? Who is the real me? What would be left if I took away all the falsehoods?

And so began the unraveling.

 

I left my life and went to “find myself” in India in 2008 and boy, did I find myself. All the deep, dark, wounded and dirty parts of me that I had been hiding from, and numbing myself from feeling. I spent 8 months living in the OSHO Centre and did every psychotherapy group, every crazy workshop, every meditation that I could. Shadow work and hours of meditation, every single day. I was ravenous, I was hungry for transformation, longing for truth. I wanted to find the one truth to rule them all, the original truth. And truth became the holy grail.

And that became my life mission, to find, live and embody the truth in all situations. Through stalking and rooting out the lies, the small deceptions, the hiding, and exposing them until only the truth remains. Only then could I really be loved as I am, and that love felt amazing!

The biggest challenge was not living the truth in me, it was living it in partnership, and I have been tested on this on all levels over the years. Even with everything I learned, I tried, I failed, I succeeded, then stumbled again, eventually losing a 9 year marriage with the mother of my kids, because neither of us could face the truth of how we had lost each other. It fell apart in the most horrible of ways, I wouldn't give up til I found out the truth, but by then it was too late.

But at least I had the truth, and that was the most empowering part. They say the truth will set you free, and it did.

So I carried on with my mission, to live and embody truth, and this brought me to where I am now. I found Amanda and found in her a partner who carried the same level of hunger and drive for truth. It's been a wild and wonderful (and sometimes terrifying) journey, and it continues to deepen in such magical ways, through truth, above all, no matter what.

Because what’s left when the lies fall away
 is everything.

That’s what I bring into this course.

I won’t tell you who to be. I’ll help you come home to who you already are, underneath the patterns, the pretending, and the pressure to perform.

This course is a transmission from that place.
Not for the faint of heart, but for the ones who are done with surface-level relating.For the ones who are ready to live, love, and lead from truth.

AMANDA’S STORY

 

Amanda Biccum is a mentor, embodiment guide, and facilitator who has spent the last 15 years immersed in the art and practice of conscious human connection. Growing up in a home where intimacy often felt disconnected and relationships were far from healthy, Amanda had few positive models for love and relating. This early absence ignited a lifelong quest to understand what truly makes relationships thrive.

Her journey has taken her across the globe for over a decade, living and learning in diverse cultures and studying with teachers from a wide range of spiritual and esoteric traditions; Buddhism, Taoism, Yoga philosophy, and Tantra among them. She has explored relationships in many forms; monogamy, open relating, and polyamory, gathering not only knowledge but hard-earned wisdom about what works and what doesn’t in love.

Amanda’s work is deeply rooted in embodied experience. She doesn’t just teach theories; she transmits the practices, principles, and insights she has lived, tested, and refined in her own life. Her approach blends spiritual depth with practical tools, guiding others to create relationships built on authenticity, self-responsibility, and truth.
As the co-creator and teacher of Truth-Based Relating, Amanda brings her lived experience, global perspective, and unwavering commitment to honest, heart-centered connection, offering a clear path for couples and individuals ready to relate from a place of integrity, intimacy, and trust.

Amanda is also the co-founder of The Temple of Radiance and has spent the last 7 years living and teaching retreats in embodiment and intimacy around to hundreds of people around the world.
