Deepening Tantric Connection
Seven Dials Playhouse, 1A Tower Street, London, GBThis workshop is available to those who have attended the foundational workshop Discovering Tantric Connection
In this new series of workshops, we explore a different theme in each session to awaken you more to your authentic gifts, power and nature. We will use breath, movement, sound, touch, massage and meditation to awaken potent lifeforce energies and expand them through the body to nourish, resource, heal and expand. Click here for more details and to book.
Tantra brings us into relationship with others and we become each other’s mirrors, teachers, guides and gifts. When safe, relaxed and listened to, the heart opens and can truly know itself as boundless in its capacity for compassion, generosity, wisdom and love.

TRE® Tension Release to Relax
Anomalous Space,, 38 Pentonville Road, London N1 9HF, London, GBThis class offers an opportunity to learn simple and profound techniques to calm the body's stress response and reset the nervous system so that it is more relaxed, balanced and stable. We will work with the tools on our own and if desired, also offer support and consensual, healing touch in pairs.
There will also be an opportunity to discover how the subconscious mind impacts the nervous system, our thinking and our behaviour and how we can work with the subconscious mind to live more freely.
TRE® is one of the tools we'll explore. It uses simple and safe exercises that enable the body to access and release deep tension, stress and trauma patterns from the body. The exercises safely activate the natural and innate reflex of vibrating/tremoring/shaking in the muscles to release tension and calm the nervous system. When this movement happens in a safe and controlled environment, the body can find its way back into balance.
This class is for you if:- you want to feel more connected to your body and less in your head
- you are interested in learning a powerful technique that you can use for the rest of your life to manage stress and tension as nature intended
- you want to let go of narratives, stories, limiting beliefs and find more freedom to be yourself

The Cuddle Exchange
Anomalous Space,, 38 Pentonville Road, London N1 9HF, London, GBHeart-centred, kind and respectful touch blesses both the receiver and giver. The nervous system relaxes, the breath deepens, the heart rate slows and we feel connected, calm and quiet.
Many of us can feel deprived of physical contact and touch and yet it is so vital to our wellbeing and happiness. Even if we have a lot of sex, a sensual element to it can be missing; that sweetness of just being held.
In this clothed workshop, we will work together to create a safe space that meets people’s varying need for physical contact with others. No experience necessary. Please book your place in advance.
https://www.outsavvy.com/event/7594/the-cuddle-exchange
The session will involve movement, mindful awareness, shared touch and massage and partner and small group exercises. You will remain clothed and each person will get to determine their own boundaries and preferences during the workshop.
Join us and inhabit your body more fully, relaxing into it with deeper compassion, appreciation and contentment.
