Experience heartfelt, authentic connections while learning tools for intimate relating.
– Do you wish you had a place to go where you can connect playfully, meaningfully, and deeply with others?
– Would you like more closeness, connection and touch in your life, in a way that is easy, uncomplicated, and helps you open to more of you?
– Do you wish you could learn about intimacy, healthy relating, and boundaries in a setting that’s totally safe, fun, inspiring, and nourishing?
Natural Tantra is all about listening to the signals of our body and heart. Conversation and practice of consent and boundaries will naturally be an integral part of our exploration. We begin with a movement practice that allows us to drop fully and deeply into our here-now body being. Then through experiential invitations for connection and self-awareness, you will have a chance to discover what wants to come alive in you and what may be in need of healing.
Participation is always optional moment to moment. You will learn just by being in the space and it is perfectly ok to pick and choose how you want to participate. That’s what good boundaries are all about. Our “no” has to be firmly and unshakably in place, and our ability to speak to our preferences has to have nuance and clarity before our “yes” can be authentic and our ability to receive can fully blossom. Together we will be creating a container where being authentically you is not only acceptable and safe, but also welcomed and celebrated.
There will be no nudity.
This is for people of all levels of experience.
Initially, we will do a series of stand-alone classes, which will be followed by a 6-week class series.

Humans are tribal animals. Since our biochemistry evolved with humans living in tribes, we are biologically designed to do well with contact. Our bodies are often at their most relaxed when we are close to other people. Research has repeatedly shown that the babies that are held the most right from birth thrive more and have the best chance to develop into well-integrated adults who trust the world. Adults who receive plenty of nurturing touch are proven to live longer, healthier, more fulfilled lives.
If we still lived in tribal settings, the proximity of other people would allow for much touch and connection throughout the day. Night time storytelling, music, and dance by the fire would be regular occurrences, with people naturally in close contact.
Modern-day world culture has become much more complicated. Many people have had varying experiences around touch, both growing up and in adult life, some not all positive, so for them the idea of touch is a mixed one. Some people ask: “I don’t think I would be comfortable touching strangers. How can this work?” It is indeed a delicate thing to get close to others. In this space, there will be lots of support to stay in your personal comfort zone and discover and honor your very subjective boundaries moment to moment. You will learn how to know your boundaries and how to communicate them. Touch must always be consensual and we give super clear guidelines that safeguard this. There is absolutely nothing you need to do, every invitation that is offered is optional. You can sit back and be in your own space at any time or the whole time. Once you discover and trust your Yes and your No, and dare to be specific about what you like, you will be surprised just how well this works and how right it feels.
At this event, we will play fun connection games, strengthen our ability to discover and know our boundaries and learn how to effectively and compassionately communicate them, and practice asking for what we need.
Our events are intended as a warm, welcoming space of high integrity that allows for making new experiences, exploring your needs and wants around touch and connection, as well as simply relaxing and unwinding in a soft space and giving you tools to create satisfying relationships in your life.
This is also an opportunity to meet new friends, and connect with your partner and friends in a soulful new way.
At the end we will open the floor to optional free-style hugging, cuddling, back rubs, or anything else that is platonic in touch.
