A SELF PLEASURE RITUAL - WHAT’S THAT?
Touch Yourself! is a space to explore self-touch, movement, breath and voice. It’s a space to get curious about your body and what feels good. To listen deeply to your needs and desires. Where you can be witnessed celebrating your sexuality, and be empowered in a communal setting.
In a ritualized way, we bring deep presence and attention to our bodies, our sensations, and one another.
WHO IS IT FOR?
Touch Yourself! Is open to people of all genders and sexual orientations who want to deepen their relationship to their bodies, and explore their sexuality in a supportive space. If you want to liberate your pleasure, and feel seen and accepted as an erotic being, Touch Yourself is a space for you.
WHAT TO EXPECT
We will start practices to help ground ourselves in the body, connect with the space, and create a container of safety with one another.
Moving into the self-pleasure ritual, you’ll have the opportunity to place yourself in one of three circles:
In the outer circle, you can be a witness - noticing one’s breath, maintaining deep awareness of one’s individual experience, and witnessing the other participants as the ritual unfolds.
In the middle circle, you’re invited to explore self-pleasure in whatever way feels good for you. That may involve self-touch, which may or may not involve genital touch. It can also include moving, breathing, dancing, moaning - anything to awaken your senses and stoke your aliveness.
In the inner circle, you’re invited to flow with your erotic aliveness in a celebration of our bodies and our sexuality. Here you can dance, move, and be witnessed in your pleasure by the rest of the participants.
As the ritual expands, you can move between each of the circles, following your body’s desires in the moment.
Nudity is welcome and fully optional. While you explore self-touch, participants will not be touching one another.
WHY SELF-TOUCH IN COMMUNITY?
We receive a lot of cultural messages around masturbation, often laden with guilt and shame. In this ritual, we normalize self-pleasure, seeking to love and honor our bodies and our genitals.
There is tremendous power in being witnessed as erotic beings, without being objectified or reduced to body parts. In witnessing others, we give one another permission to inhabit our full selves without shame.
PRACTICALITIES
All participants will have a mattress to make your personal pleasure space. Please bring a sheet to cover the mattress, and a blanket to help make it more cosy.
