Intimacy & Connection

Intimacy & Connection 〰️
For those ready to feel more alive in their bodies, relationships and lives
Body-based workshops and experiences to reconnect with your authentic self.
Playing with Aliveness is a safe space to explore your edges in grounded, human, emotionally intelligent and trauma-empowered ways.
We curate environments where you can slow down and reconnect with your body’s signals to experience meaningful connection- with yourself, with others and with life itself.
Blending somatics, breathwork, neo-tantric informed practices, ritual and intimacy skill-building, our work is designed to be both transformative and accessible.
This is for you if:
You want deeper, more authentic connection with yourself and others
You feel disconnected from your body, desire, partner or sense of aliveness
You’re curious about intimacy, tantra or embodiment
You value consent, emotional safety, and clear boundaries
You’re on a personal or spiritual growth path and want to go deeper
You want to explore connection and intimacy

What People Are Saying
“While standing alone, I was approached by TR and offered a simple hug. At that moment, something shifted. It felt different from the male energy I had come to fear from my past- I felt safe, at ease and unexpectedly emotional, like I could finally let myself be held and I felt the urge to cry in his arms.”
- R.T.
“It was beautiful to watch you interact with one another with so much love and respect. You both created a safe environment which allowed me to stay present within my body, and to honour my yes and my no. I was able to push against my edge in one of the exercises because of the safety I felt”
- S.M.
“I was nervous at first, but Jule and TR made me feel so safe and welcomed. The level of consent and freedom to go at my own pace was incredible. I left with new realisations, deeper connection and new friends. Highly recommend!”
- E.K.
