Erotic Unfolding /// Day Retreat & Evening Temple w/ Ria Hope and Jote-Prakash Singh

Erotic Unfolding

Day Retreat & Evening Temple Space held by Ria Hope and Jote-Prakash

You are warmly invited to Erotic Unfolding, a one-day retreat designed for those who want to connect more deeply with their own erotic aliveness.

Through embodied consent and boundaries practices, conscious touch, energy work + integrated teachings around sexuality, intimacy and connection we take you on a slow-paced, trauma-informed journey back to yourself.

This is an all-level workshop - you don't need to have been to an intimacy workshop before.

Our intention is to create a space where you can gently peel back the layers that are stopping you from experiencing deeper connection, to play and have fun and to tap into healing that's available when we work with the erotic energy in a non-pressured environment.

The erotic essence is within all of us - it is your life force energy and your route back to wholeness.

The day will be set out with many touchpoints for you to check in with yourself, remain within consent with yourself and consciously choose to what level you engage. This is a space where erotic energy is welcome, but there will be no genital touch. There are whole worlds available when we slow down, this is a space that encourages that.

Who is this for?
Couples, throuples+ and single people.
People who are curious about learning more about their erotic energy and how it flows in the body.
Those who want a slower, more gentle approach to doing intimacy work.
For those who know there's more to their erotic lives than they are currently experiencing.
Humans on a spiritual path who wish to integrate sexuality, sensuality + connection as part of their journey.
Those who long for deeper connection with themselves, other people and the world around them.
People of any sexual orientations - queer and trans folk are welcome.

Our approach:
We believe that understanding and integrating sexuality is an essential part of living a happy balanced life.
We believe in starting slow and honouring the nervous system throughout.
We believe in staying rooted in the body and not rushing towards peak experiences.
We believe that sexual energy is life force energy and when harnessed can expand our creative potential.
We want to create spaces where we can let go of the shame and fear we have around our erotic aliveness and step into our collective liberation!
We believe this work should be accessible to all.
