Discovering The Potency of Eros.
A 5-day Embodied Sexuality Lab to gain a deeper understanding of sexuality, in a conscious embodied way, with presence, compassion, inclusivity, playfulness, and joy.
CORFU, GREECE
…means having desires and longings, arousal and aversion, fears and frustrations, and so much more, around sex.
Whether you love sex, hate it (or everything in between), have partners or go solo, want sex, avoid sex, or just don’t think about it, part of being human includes being in relationship with your own unique authentic sexuality.
Now more than ever, in this fast-changing, imperfect, sometimes chaotic world, our ability to feel pleasure and tap into the potency of our erotic energy is needed.
One of my most memorable experiences in 30 years on conscious dance floors. A powerful release of difficult feelings. I felt completely safe and I loved the combination of skill, clarity, depth and humor.
We will practice using some of Open Floor’s CORE MOVEMENT RESOURCES to come back to the sensations in our physical body, to identify and familiarize ourselves with our sexual and emotional energy, and to give ourselves permission and encouragement to dance with pleasure, joy, and beauty.
For those who…
The Lab will be offered in a clear container with boundaries by a team of skilled teachers from a variety of backgrounds. It’s designed for people who have experience in grounding, self-regulation, and using conscious dance as a practice.
– Clothes will be kept on – participants are asked to not engage in sexual touch during the sessions –
All sexual orientations, expressions, gender identities, body types, abilities, and backgrounds are welcome.
The pricing structure of the Embodied Sexuality Lab aligns with Open Floor’s value of inclusivity. There are differences among our participants geographically, in social status, and privilege. We offer more flexible and inclusive price options to embody economic justice.
Together we can make this programme accessible and inclusive!
The costs will cover the fees for two trainers and a crew of assistants and general costs for promotion and material. And it will be supporting the Open Floor International non-profit organization.
Open Floor Teachers – please choose the rate, which feels fair for you.
The cost for accommodation is paid separately. See below for more information.
