Eros in Motion
# of participants:
60
Workshop 1 duration:
90 Minute Workshop, 2 Hour Workshop, Evening Experience
Equipment needed:
Speaker, Mic, Cushions, Whiteboard
Workshop 1's Intention:
NB: This workshop is intended to be co-facilitated with Taylor Neal
To awaken the erotic body through movement (dance), drawing inspiration from erotic embodiment practices and the other embodiment tools
To offer a practice that brings people deeply into their bodies and supports a sense of aliveness in one’s own skin
To explore how we can learn to move erotic energy through the body using the 5 tools of embodiment (breath/sound/touch/movement/placement of awareness) with emphasis on movement, to remind participants of their agency and erotic potential.
To bring a sense of creativity and playfulness into erotic life
To connect back to organic movement and self expression through broader concepts (the 5 elements) that we all have a sense of connection to.
Workshop 1 rough format:
Workshop 1 will adopt the following structure, and will be detailed in a Workshop Plan:
Engage – Self: Ground into the space, attune to inner sensations in stillness and movement.
Engage – Others: Connect through eye contact and synchronized motion.
Engage – Topic: Get curious about your erotic experience—what would deepen your connection right now? Which element (earth, air, fire, water, ether) embodies you today?
Study: Learn five embodiment tools and how each aligns with the elements (e.g., fiery breath, watery touch). Explore blending tools for a full-spectrum erotic range.
Activate: Guided dance journey—building, peaking, and softening energy through music, elements, and movement.
Reflection: Group sharing on applying movement and elemental awareness to erotic and sexual expression, affirming agency, range, and the power of embodied movement.
Workshop 1 program description:
Eros in Motion is an erotic embodiment dance journey intending to awaken orgasmicity through the five embodiment tools (breath, sound, touch, movement, placement of awareness) in conjunction with the five elements (earth, water, fire, air, and ether). Participants will be offered creative ways to cultivate orgasmicity by exploring each of the five elements within each of the embodiment tools, as a way of broadening understanding of how each of the tools can be used in different ways for different purposes, intentions, and experiences. After exploring and learning together, participants will flow into a guided dance meditation where Eros becomes motion, emotion, and creativity. A trauma-informed, consent-based space for all bodies to be curious about how movement and embodiment tools can evoke orgasmicity, presence, and self expression.

Are you happy to facilitate support pods?
Fuck yes!
Are you interested in contributing to/facilitating at pre-retreat events
Yes I'm happy to participate in this process. I have also had some previous correspondence about offering to support promotion through some of our 'Pleasure Heals' socials.
Is there anything else that you would like us to know as organisers?
Please note that as mentioned all of these Workshops are intended to be 'co-facilitated' with another (ie. Taylor Neal, Aj Sid, Aimee Zheng respectively). There is also another Workshop ('Let's Play) that I am applying to co-facilitate with Aj Sid (it will likely be submitted by Aj). Happy to discuss any of the above.
