Heart, Soul & Eros Emergence: Sleepover Weekend

This immersive workshop is an invitation to return to the wisdom of your body, the power of your life force, the desire of your heart, the truth of your soul.
Through a rich blend of embodiment practices, nervous system regulation, soul connecting practices, and vitality emergence, we journey into the heart of intimacy.

We unify our heart, soul, and eros—bringing them into alignment so that our choices in love and intimacy reflect our deepest truth. From this rooted place, we cultivate authentic, fulfilling connections.

Together, we’ll explore how to anchor in body, stabilise our nervous system, and open to the radiant aliveness of eros.

Guided through practices that are slowed waaay down to come to feeling at a deep energetic level of deep presence, connecting at soul level, and with love, care and honour in every touch, every meeting. Through this we experience a profound quality of connection that is created, with your brother as much as with your lover.

A being in their true aliveness of heart & erotic energy emanates true radiance that is magnetising. We start with the love affair with ourselves, meeting and falling in love with our inner beloved, all that we are.  Aligning heart, soul and eros to make choices in intimacy that are aligned with our truth.

Expect a space of deep attunement, where nervous system awareness, movement, breath, and conscious touch are foundational to every piece facilitated, allowing a nurtured opening to connection with a fuller and authentic expression of who you are.

The gift of journeying together for a whole deep dive weekend is we get to feel one another, hear eachother, understand eachother in complete immersion deepening throughout the weekend.

When you bring your FULL self, you invite others to do the same. Your vulnerability becomes a doorway into deep connection. 

Come as you are. Leave more connected, more alive, and more rooted in the truth of your body and the true radiance of your soul.

Wherever you're at in your journey, finding the way for you to be met with the level of intimacy that feels good for you, even if not in physical contact with anyone. And instead experiencing how deeply touched you can be in depth of heart by loving presence, with no minimum requirement to show up in any particular way. 

There is also a Temple Weekend 12-13 July in South Devon https://dandelion.events/e/j3q8e

​To learn the internal navigation of what we want and what we don't want, exercises are facilitated to tune into our bodies of where and what our yes's and No's feel like, and practicing voicing those to others in the space, bringing safety that our voice, our yes and our no will be heard and respected, whilst also knowing everyone else has this common language in the space to be in practice with throughout the evening. 

This is a deeply healing transformational journey that ignites more power, courage, self-assurance and expression into your life in many ways. Our sexual expression that has been repressed is our life force, which is entwined with our creative expression which is our natural flowing expressive energy in many more ways than a paintbrush on paper. It connects us to the core of our being, the core of all nature, there is a power and mystery that unfolds that is greater than the human mind can comprehend.

There is always with an option to connect only with yourself. There is no obligation or pressure to physically touch anyone else at any point, it is always your own choice how much you wish to connect with others

​Also welcome to come as a couple and stay in your own coupled container with the practices shared - please inform me before the event to be aware of accommodating this when pairing/grouping in the space. 

This is a non-penetrative space - we will explain the fine details of this in the space.  Each exercise will have its individual boundaries set, and each person will have their personal boundaries - we agree to honour all of these boundaries set by the space and each individual

Practices are led in a way to encourage non-heteronormative pairing (some exercises are also in 3's or 4's) so people can mix for platonic or intimate connections as suits their gender and sexual orientation. This also creates opportunity for the rich learning in exercises from your brother or sister, not just seeking those you're attracted to. In every exercise there is a scale of intimacy that offers options from a non-physical contact (just in loving energetic presence), witnessing, to more physically connected options. 

This is a trauma informed space, facilitators and spaceholders assisting are available to support your needs during exercises and free space. We encourage self-responsibility to take care of yourself which is part of the learning of the space - that includes seeking support when support or sitting out of exercises when needed.
