EXPLORING EROS: AWAKEN YOUR SENSUAL SELF - for LGBTQ+ folks
Sat, Jun 20
1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. ADT
This sensuality immersion is created with LGBTQ+ folks in mind - a gentle, grounded space that honours diverse bodies, identities, orientations, and relational configurations. It’s especially suited to neurodivergent humans, and for anyone who wants to explore their more sensual side.
We move slowly so your nervous system can breathe. Everything is guided, clear, spacious and optional. Any pair work is rooted in consent so your body can calibrate at its own pace. Your no is honoured as deeply as your yes. This is the kind of connection our bodies actually need: gentle, attuned, present and alive.
What this afternoon offers
A carefully held, queer-centered container for dipping your toes into sensuality.
Space to explore edges, rewrite old stories, and heal parts of you that long for patience, warmth and clarity.
A pace between platonic and play-party — perfect if you want deeper sensual connection without sexual pressure or rush.
Explicit, accessible communication practices and consent tools tailored for neurodivergent experiences.
Along the way you’ll
Share space and connection with other like-minded humans
Build energy through breath and embodiment practices
Practice embodied consent and discover your full-body “yes” & "no"
Receive guided, sensory-based touch practices (always optional and always negotiated)
Move, feel and express at a pace that supports your nervous system
Connect with a compassionate, LGBTQ+-centered community of open-hearted people
This is not a hookup space. It’s a sacred, sensual (not sexual) exploration designed to leave you more open, grounded and connected to your own aliveness.
Facilitated by
Jule: Somatica®-trained Sexologist & Intimacy Coach
TR Appleby: Trauma-informed Neo-Tantric Coach & Breathwork Facilitator, founder of Atlantic Tantra
Location
Nature-immersed sanctuary at Blue Forest Shores
Optional end-of-day traditional Finnish sauna under the stars
Come as you are: queer, trans, nonbinary, lesbian, gay, bisexual, two-spirit, curious, sensitive, slow-moving, tender-hearted.
Accessibility & care
All touch is optional and fully consent-based
Clear cues, sensory accommodations and quiet spaces available
Small group size to ensure safety, attunement and individualized support
If you have specific access needs, sensory preferences, or boundaries you’d like honoured, please let us know when you register so we can prepare
Let Eros meet you gently. Let connection feel possible again.
