EMBODIED SEXUALITY IMMERSION WORKSHOP
Connect & Explore

Awaken Your Body, Expand Your Pleasure, Deepen Your Connection

What if your intimate life could be more alive, embodied, creative, and deeply nourishing?

Our SOMA Embodied Sexuality Immersion Workshop is a weekend of exploration, connection, and embodiment. It offers a space to explore sexuality not simply as something you think or talk about, but as something you can feel, sense, and experience in your body.

Through somatic practices, conscious movement and breath, communication, embodied consent, relational exercises, and shared reflection, you’ll be invited to explore your relationship with pleasure, desire, boundaries, intimacy, and erotic expression.

Our approach is somatic, trauma-informed, consent-based, and liberatory—recognising your individual experience as well as the social and cultural forces that shape our sexuality. 
The workshop supports both personal exploration and professional development.

A Space to Explore, at Your Own Pace

During the weekend you’ll have the opportunity to:

  • Awaken body awareness and deepen your relationship with pleasure, becoming more attuned to sensations, impulses, curiosity, and the ways your body experiences pleasure.
  • Explore and embody your erotic self, including your desires, boundaries, authenticity, and unique expressions of sexuality and gender.
  • Cultivate greater agency, confidence, and self-regulation, supporting you to navigate intimacy, vulnerability, pleasure, and your intimate choices with greater presence.
  • Explore the personal, social, and cultural influences shaping your sexuality, and discover new possibilities for self-acceptance, freedom, and erotic expression.
  • Deepen your capacity for intimacy and authentic connection through communication, consent, presence, and embodied relating.

There is no single way to experience sexuality, pleasure, or intimacy. This weekend is about discovering what is true for you.

What We’ll Explore

The weekend combines individual, relational and group exploration.

Individual Practices

You’ll have space to connect with your own body through practices such as:

  • Body awareness and sensation
  • Conscious movement and breath
  • Following your body’s impulses and curiosity
  • Exploring pleasure and presence

Relational Practices

Some exercises are done in pairs, offering opportunities to explore:

  • Verbal and non-verbal communication
  • Consent and boundaries
  • Presence and attunement
  • Giving and receiving touch, including the Wheel of Consent©*
  • Spontaneity and creativity
  • Connection and embodied relating

* Drawing on the Wheel of Consent, we explore the difference between giving and receiving, and between what we want for ourselves and what we are willing to offer another person. This can create new possibilities for clarity, communication, boundaries, pleasure, and connection.

Group Reflection

We’ll also come together to share and reflect on our experiences and learn from the collective wisdom of the group.

Consent, Autonomy & Choice

Everything is invitational.

You’ll always be invited and supported to adapt each exercise to your own needs. Self-regulation and tuning into your feelings will be an important part of the experience.

You can choose whether to participate in touch-based exercises, and you can pause, modify, or withdraw your consent at any time.

Your autonomy, comfort, and boundaries are central to the experience.

Sexuality in Context

We explore how social and cultural expectations shape our sexuality—and how somatic practices can support us in reclaiming freedom, choice, and new possibilities in our bodies and lives.

Who Is This For?

This workshop is designed for:

  • Individuals seeking to deepen their confidence, freedom, and joy in their intimacy.
  • Therapists, coaches, bodyworkers, educators, and other professionals who want to expand their embodied toolkit for working with intimacy and sexuality.
  • Anyone curious about our SOMA Intimacy Training Programme. This workshop is an introduction and a foundational step in your journey.

What You May Take With You

This workshop offers an opportunity to explore a new approach to intimacy and pleasure, with an emphasis on:

  • Greater embodiment and body awareness
  • More freedom and confidence around pleasure and desire
  • A deeper understanding of boundaries and consent
  • Greater awareness of personal and cultural conditioning
  • New possibilities for intimate, erotic, and emotional connection
  • Practical tools for presence and self-regulation

As a professional, you’ll have the opportunity to explore new perspectives and gain somatic tools that you can use when supporting others in intimacy and sexuality

Rather than giving you a formula for how sexuality should be, SOMA invites you to become more deeply connected to your own embodied experience and choice.

“It was a weekend of deep presence, where I practiced identifying my desires and my boundaries, where I learned to trust myself and what my body tells me more. There was also space to explore and play. Laughter, smiles, and a lot of human complicity.”

Alejandra

“The tools we learned are incredibly useful and easy to integrate into everyday life.”

Cristiano

“This experience was very powerful on a personal level, helping me reconnect with my own truth, but it also opened new possibilities to explore and deepen my relationship with my partner—in a more conscious, free, and authentic way.”
