Exploring Eros: LGBTQ+

Exploring Eros: LGBTQ+ Edition (Optional Sauna)
from $170.00

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.
