There are so many reasons to hold this space. In the dominant culture a select few bodies are encouraged to take for their pleasure. Many bodies are harmed in these normed, nonconsensual acts of taking. This practice lab is a reclamation of consensually taking action for YOUR pleasure! For five weeks, as trans, femmes, and thems we will practice taking action for our pleasure, getting to know our embodied desire & want, and negotiate consensual touch with others. Drawn from the lineages of Wheel of Consent, Somatic Sex Education, and partner dancing.
✨
In this series we will practice
~ skills from the Wheel of Consent
~ negotiating consensual taking
~ celebrating no and receiving a no

Bodies speak through the language of the senses. By listening to our senses we become better stewards and advocates for the needs and desires of our bodies. Each week, in this five week series, we will hold practice space for giving and receiving platonic touch, getting to know your embodied yes and no, and negotiating touch with others. Drawn from the lineages of Wheel of Consent, Somatic Sex Education, and partner dancing, this series is a feast for the senses.
In this series you will learn
~ skills and practices from the Wheel of Consent
~ somatic practices for embodiment and nervous system regulation
~ what your embodied yes and no feel like

Lay it All Down- are you ready for that? For another enchanted evening of communal rest with the dulcet tones of G caressing the harp in the bathtub? Please join us as @kklightsmith and I hold a community ritual in relation to collapse. An alchemical rest portal.
✨
There will be soft things, soft light, a special tea blend, velvet, invitations to connect with others around collapse. Whatever your relationship to collapse is, crushed by it, avoiding it, fascinated by it, actively in it- you will find yourself welcome here.
✨
After our harp accompanied nap we will have somatic embodiment invitations, harvest a collective poem and savor the magic of the present moment.
✨
Laying it all down is a practice. Honoring the presence of what we don’t know and the wisdom of rest to reveal something yet unseen.
✨

🎶Dreaming in the dark, dreaming in the dark🎵Who gets to decide which of our desires are villainized? What would you want if you could want anything? What would you allow yourself to sing? 🎶Dreaming in the dark, dreaming in the dark🎵Is there a part of you that wears a disguise? Is there a part of you that covers their eyes? Can you let them come? Can you let them in? Can you listen? 🕯️@thepleasureguide We love holding these spaces for you and for us. Come and dream with us.

In the dark of the season, we will lay our bodies down. By the music of a harp we will go inside and dream. We wonder, what will the darkness allow us to see, feel, sense and name?
🕯️
We invite you to notice your desires and the stories that have been put on your desires. What desires have been villainized and by whom? We invite you to wrap up in this cloak of darkness and allow yourself to notice and dream.
🕯️
We will wake up and tone together by candlelight.

Dreaming in the Dark- this is an evening of rest, rest for our bodies, rest with other bodies, rest from the stories that have been put on our bodies.
✨
in the dark of the season, we will lay our bodies down. By the music of the harp, we will have a chance to go inside and dream. Our gentle invocation for this evening is to notice your desires and what you have been told about your desires.
✨
We are curious, what will come to us in the dark? What will the dark allow us to see feel or name? We will seed our exploration with curiosity around the villain archetype and harvest our collective wisdom.
✨
We will wake up with communal toning and be held by candle light.

Join Greta and Kk at Seward to Soak in Summer. Tea, live harp accompanied rest, taking in the bounty of summer. Registration link in bio or through QR code.
We believe pleasure is resistance. Curiosity is medicine for overwhelm. Gentle movement is needed in our frozen parts and places. Your body is wise and always speaking.
✨
In the spaces we hold, in small moments of your day to day, we wish you pockets of gentle luscious presence. We wish you pleasure, agency and choice.
✨
Next Thursday, @thepleasureguide and I offer Touch Me As If…. A practice space for asking for what you want to receive in the realm of touch. Grounded in practice from @thewheelofconsent you will be invited to connect with your yes and no, to engage your imagination and practice.
