Authentic Sexuality
A pathless path to evolve the erotic embodiment, connect love and sexuality, and unfold our unique sexual expression.

A Journey into Life Force, Heartful Aliveness & Creative Expression
Let’s dive deep into our sexuality in a safe and trusted environment and peel off the many layers that limit our authentic sensual selves.
Rather than focus on techniques or skills, let’s create a container to explore eroticism as a group of curious, open-hearted individuals. Let’s support each other to be as we are, here and now, and allow our inner lover of life to unfold naturally.
Together, we create a space to express, experience, integrate, and transcend our authentic innocent sexuality, revealing the potential for pleasure, creativity, and profoundly fulfilling intimate relationships. We playfully dive into our bodies and touch to explore and untangle blocks, patterns, and automation.
Immersion into intimacy
When we fully connect to our sexual energy in freedom and trust, we experience pleasure, innocence, and the joy of life that brings healing. We feel at home; we sense we have arrived.
The perception of our sexuality is often limited, suppressed, hidden, redirected, and conditioned by our culture, society, and traumatic experiences. When we disconnect our sexuality from our hearts, we live in confusion, torn between our desires and self-control. The disconnection freezes our body and its natural innocent eroticism.
Sexuality is a way to express our life force here and now through the gift of our incredible bodies. Limits and boundaries dissolve whenever people come together and recognise the miracle of their authentic sexuality. When we break down the walls of fear, aversion, guilt, and shame and fully experience eroticism, we connect and thrive with other living beings.
A Sevenfold Journey
The series comprises seven distinct workshops, designed as a journey that goes deeper and deeper. You can join the complete journey or single workshops that you feel called towards.
Each workshop has a unique focus/theme, and we organised it around one erotic aspect to mature the embodiment process through its natural phases. We will journey into grounding, emotional expression, power, love, communication, vision, and purpose.
Intimate container
When we bring awareness back into the depth of our body with its rich present-moment experience, and when we share this inner experience with others in all its colours, we allow ourselves to express our authentic sexuality. We practice in a small group of individuals (up to 16 participants), where everything can unfold in a pathless path and all our workshops.
In all our practices, the group flows naturally together. We hold room for each other, allowing for precise and compassionate communication about our needs and boundaries.
The evening contains individual, paired, and group embodiment practices inspired by the modern somatic approach, authentic movement, sexological bodywork, biodynamic breathwork for trauma release, traditional tantra, Taoism, and shamanism. We also hold a ritual where we flow, play, and put into practice what we’ve learned earlier. Finally, at the end of each workshop, we keep the space open for relaxation, unwinding, and integration.
Workshops
Erotic Immanence
11th of February
We experience the deep roots of our sexual essence to realise that it ultimately comes from within. We share practices intending to savour the present moment while at the same time being a witness to it. We practice abundance and belonging. In a trauma-informed way, we strive to accept fear as part of our human experience. Within the ritual, we dive into the pleasure of touching our body and being seen in the act of self-love.
Erotic Innocence
18th of March
We experience our authentic sexual selves through emotional expression. We bring the unconscious and conscious into the present moment. We practice self-regulation of opening and closing our emotional channels and our raw sexual energy. We meditate on the feeling of guilt stopping us from experiencing pleasure. During the ritual, we allow for unwinding as innocent beings during a naked ecstatic dance.
Erotic Power
20h of May
We experience true power arising from our sensuality, ultimately connected with being of service in the world. We practice opening the bridge between our pelvis and heart to allow the transformative union of raw sexuality into loving relationships and creativity. We learn how the energy of expressing anger can become a transformative power for our sexuality. We compassionately notice where we feel shame about the right to act. During the ritual, we explore where we fear failing in a circle of fulfilled desires.
Erotic Intimacy
17th of June
We experience allowing the natural pulsation between sexuality and love through our heartbeat and breath. We practice releasing the wounds of grief connected to our past and current relationships. We meditate on expanding the vision of what love is. During the ritual, we open ourselves to love and being loved in a heart temple to explore the union between intimacy and passion.
Erotic Expression
16th of September
We experience expressing sexual needs, opening and closing, readiness to receive, and rejection. We practice releasing and listening to the sound of our voices. We uncover the art of playful seduction. We shed the lies we tell to ourselves and others. During the ritual, we use our bodies as instruments and tools to explore our archetypical parts in a creative and playful experiment.
Erotic Intuition
21st of October
We experience the wisdom of inner knowledge to see our sexuality from the “bird’s-eye view”. We practice the art of decoding body and mind resonance, seeing our needs and trauma bonding structures, making conscious choices, and allow trusting our insight. We strive to witness patterns in our eroticism that sometimes create illusions. During the ritual, we use darkness and meditation for diving into our sexual intuition.
Erotic Transcendence
18th of November
We experience sexuality as a gate into a trance and state of wholeness, where we can break free of linear, causal perceptions of time and space. We practice an allowance to “step outside of ourselves” and return to the present moment with insights and healing. In the ritual, we attend a sensual breathwork ceremony accompanied by touch, evocative music, and drumming to open the possibility of going beyond who we are.
For self-reliant consensual beings
In these experiences, we are required to be already practiced in the understanding and expressing of our boundaries (at a previous Conscious Touch & Consent experience or equivalent), as well as respecting those of others. We engage with others slowly, we ask before touching, both non-verbally, and with words, especially when reaching out to groups that already interact.
We put our own care, health and well-being first. We pause regularly from interactions to check-in with ourself, notice if everything feels good, and decide to continue or end our current interactions. When needed, we move to the self-care zone to be alone, or ask for support from others.
On gender balance
In our experiences, we do not limit nor balance the representation of gender among our participants. We allow natural unfolding of the group participants. Every event might have a different gender ratio and different energy ratio (masculine, feminine, and neutral). We embrace all gender identities and body configurations.
For some of us, experiencing physical interaction with one particular gender might come more naturally than with others. We are invited to question our patterns, and approach touch outside the limits we define for ourself.
On nudity & sexuality
Several workshops' content include invitations for nudity. This is always optional, and though we recommend to be comfortable with the idea of group nudity, we will never have to be nude if we don't want to.
The content of the workshops involve practices and exercises about sexuality. We set and communicate clear limits; some of which are specific to a unique workshop, while others are for the entire Journey.
We will communicate the complete list of boundaries for each workshop in the opening circle.
The importance of integration
The process in which we revisit, work through and make sense of the insights and content of our experiences is called integration. We believe in making a sustainable change in our life.
An essential step for this is to find time and space to explore those experiences. We can either integrate by ourself by meditation, journaling, or creating art, or with others, our coach, therapist or close friends and loved ones.
For this, we can join the Integration Space: a container where we can share our insights from our experiences.
