In this workshop you’ll be guided through gentle, transformative exercises to begin healing your relationship with your own desire, sensuality, and self-expression.

Many individuals carry a denied sexual self - parts of their desires, wants, and needs that have been repressed, shamed, or ignored. Influenced by childhood messages, societal judgment, shame, trauma, or patterns of conflict, these denials leave us disconnected from our own bodies, desires, and relational intimacy.

We deny our sexual wants and desires for many interconnected psychological, cultural, relational, and even neurological reasons. At the heart of it, denial is often a form of self-protection.

Drawing from her 14 years of training and experience in the dating, relating and therapy space, Sarah will present this workshop which will offer a safe space to:

• Uncover the messages you received about sex growing up.
• Reconnect with your body, sexual energy, and sensual self.
• Get clear on how to communicate your wants and needs to yourself, not just others
• Learn tools to reclaim pleasure, intimacy, and authenticity.
