Sensation + presence…
Nervous system wisdom…
The body as home…
Welcome to Love in Adulthood, our monthly free workshop series focused on midlife intimacies, conscious relating, and deep connection. This month, we’re coming back to the beginning: before technique, before partnership, there’s the body itself, the place where all of this actually lives, awakens, and blossoms.
Together, we’ll explore the body not as something to fix, optimize, or perform with, but as an instrument of sensation, breath, and presence. We’ll move through the four pillars of conscious relating (presence, slowness, attention, and intention) located this time in physical sensation itself, and practice coming home to the body through guided somatic and breathwork.
In this workshop, we’ll explore:
- Pleasure as an ongoing relationship with your own body, not a project to complete
- Using sensation, breath, and nervous system regulation as access points for your eroticism
- The four pillars of conscious, embodied self-pleasure practice
- A guided somatic experience to build sensory awareness
- This workshop is open to everyone: single or partnered, all bodies, all genders, and obvs, we’re queer/kink/trans/polyam/ENM friendly + positive 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
