Love, sex and trauma

Most of us long for intense and fulfilling sexuality, as well as a connected and heartfelt relationship. But often, these dreams remain unfulfilled, despite all our effort, because we are lead by the invisible power of our traumas. Years pass by and we begin to ask ourselves: Is this all there is for me?

This workshop is for you if:

Steps towards mature relationships

This workshop will teach you to work with your inner compass to help you navigate the world of relationships and love. You will learn to distinguish when you are present, when you find yourself in the role of a child, and when you are an adult. It will show you that as an adult you have the ability to think, feel, and decide what you want to do, and also where you can set better boundaries in your relationship.

What we will be looking at

– How can I experience what I want in a relationship?
– How can I distinguish potential pitfalls when meeting someone new?
– How can I build a functional relationship after experiencing abandonment or violence in childhood?
– Is there such a thing as right and wrong sexuality?
– How can I find out what is right for me?
– Do I need to learn some techniques to be able to enjoy sex?
– How can I have a relationship with all the burdens I carry in my life?
– Is it possible to achieve a big change in a long-term relationship?
– Do I really see how my mother and father have influenced my approach to these topics?

Content of the workshop

The workshop will involve talking, sharing, movement, contact and exchange. We will explore our direct physical experiences in giving and receiving touch, while remaining attuned to our inner truth. We will learn to increasingly perceive our inner world and express it in an appropriate way – finding our own balance between safety and adventure.

All exercises and activities will take place fully clothed. The course content does not include any sexual contact. Participation in all exercises and activities is voluntary. If you are unsure whether this workshop is suitable for you, please contact us.

You are fully responsible for your mental and physical wellbeing throughout the workshop. Absence of any drugs before and during the workshop is required.

You can participate in the workshop as a couple or individually, whether you are single or in a relationship, regardless of your age (you must be over 18), gender, or sexual orientation.
