This workshop is open to women curious about their relationship to sexuality, eroticism and sensuality. Whether you are comfortable and familiar with these topics, or exploring them for the first time, you are welcome to join us. closer events are open to all, creating a space for different horizons, sexual orientations and experiences.
Overview
This one-day fundamentals workshop is an introduction to discover / sharpen the personal perspective of erotic needs x desires. It is an opportunity to learn and understand your needs and desires through a variety of body-based techniques accompanied by frameworks to support you during the workshop, and in your daily life.
Often, we have forgotten, or numbed or discounted or even have-not-quite-met our needs or desires. We might find ourselves in situations, especially in the erotic-sexual areas of life, where we ignore or hide our needs. Perhaps we make our needs (and ourselves) very small. Alternatively, we might turn into performers, larger-than-life actors. Whatever the case, we frequently look out without sensing in.
Therefore, closer (fundamentals), is primarily a workshop that focuses the gaze inwards before ‘going outward’. We will work with various methods with curiosity and non-judgement to meet these erotic needs x desires.
We will use tools of:
- 5Rhythms® Dance
- Sexological Bodywork®
- Authentic Relating
- Art Therapy
Eroticism vs Sexuality
While sexuality is an instinctual urge resulting in an act (with the self or another), eroticism is born within us and our imaginations. Eroticism involves sensual and aesthetic experiences. However, it also encompasses feelings, memories, relationships or power relations, obstacles and taboos. All of these begin in our inner worlds, so getting to know our own needs x desires is a central part of our eroticism, and our freedom into empowered sexual beings.
More details about closer (fundamentals)
During this closer (fundamentals) workshop, touch and nudity are welcome. However, each participant is encouraged and will be supported to set their own boundaries here. This is not an “empty phrase”, but rather an important part of the workshop: to understand and respect our personal needs at different moments in time.
closer events are a gentle, safe setting for people who have never participated in explicitly sexual workshops before, as well as for anyone who has. You can also participate in the workshop as a couple & do the exercises together or separately as you wish.
We encourage everyone to find their comfortable edge for the exploration, and are available throughout the retreat for support.
The workshop will be held in English, however, instructions and other important details can be translated into German if needed.
