About the Workshop

This workshop is an invitation to reclaim our Queer Eros from the oppressive systems of White Body Supremacy and Colonialism, find abundant nourishment in body based connection and cultivate a community of care. This unapologetically Queer experience will be an opportunity to expose the hypocrisy and limitations of gender roles and sexuality, to see pleasure and Eros as birthrights and healing energies rather than transactional and limited to those with power and privilege.

We will use breath, movement, circle technology, consensual touch, somatic inquiry and storytelling practices. This is a negotiated consensual space that invites the exploration of erotic energy through guided hands-on experimentation. We will also co-create this weekend acknowledging and celebrating each of our Queer lived experience, what each of us brings to this, weaves together a fabulous and sustainable web of connection that will hold us, nourish us and foster our collective liberation.

The workshop is conducted in a playful, safe, consensual, and respectful setting and is clothing-optional.
