In this guided journey, you’ll enter an expanded state of consciousness (without the use of substances) to awaken your senses, heighten awareness, and open to deeper, more authentic relating.
Through breath, movement, sound, and mindful touch (within your own boundaries), you’ll discover sensuality as energy — a natural expression of aliveness and presence. Together, we’ll create a safe, inclusive space to explore curiosity, connection, and embodied awareness.
Whether you come solo or with a partner, you’ll have the opportunity to:
✨ Access altered states naturally through the body and breath
✨ Deepen trust and authentic connection

An invitation to expand, feel, and connect — with yourself, your senses, and the shared field between us all.

Workshop 2 program description:
We are innately built for connection…
So why does it sometimes feel so hard?
This workshop invites you to explore what gets in the way of the closeness we crave — the moments we hide, run, or unintentionally sabotage our own desires for connection. Together, we’ll dive into what happens when communication falters and how to meet those moments with awareness, courage, and compassion.
Learn how to recognise your edges — where you end and another begins — and discover the magic that unfolds when two (or more) people meet in authenticity. Through guided practices and experiential exercises, you’ll explore when to lean in, when to give space, and how to stay connected even when things feel tender or tricky.
This is a practical and experiential session designed to bring insight, embodiment, and a few “aha” moments around how you relate, communicate, and connect — with yourself and others.
All are welcome — singles, couples, poly, and curious hearts.

Step into the mystery and magnificence of the vulva — a landscape of pleasure, power and deep connection. For too long, the knowledge and celebration of this sacred part of the body have been hidden or misunderstood.
With loving reverence and playful curiosity, Myola will guide you through an embodied exploration of vulva anatomy, physiology, and arousal. You’ll discover how the vulva moves through the stages of pleasure and how understanding this flow can open pathways to heightened erotic and sensual states.
Learn a variety of strokes and touch styles, and create your own practice model to take these teachings into your body. Through embodiment and awareness techniques, you’ll cultivate confidence, presence, and deep loving respect for this tender terrain — whether you have a vulva or love someone who does.
✨ You’ll explore:
• Building confidence in connection and presence
• Anatomy and arousal of the vulva and pelvis
