𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗟𝗢𝗪 𝗦𝗘𝗫 𝗣𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗘 𝗜𝗡 𝗔𝗠𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗗𝗔𝗠
A new culture of intimacy, connection, and embodied presence.

What if your sexuality could be a gateway—not just to pleasure, but to healing, aliveness, and deep human connection?

The Slow Sex Practice is the foundational ritual of the Slow Sex Movement—a 3-hour in-person group experience guided by trauma-informed facilitators. Within a clear structure, you are gently invited into intimacy with yourself and others—whether a total stranger or a longtime partner. This is not about performance or peak moments. It’s about presence. It’s about awakening to what is truly alive in you.

Please take your time to read the full description below—to manage your expectations.

𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗘?
The Slow Sex Practice is a self-development ritual grounded in sex-positive, inclusive values. We connect and explore beyond gender, race, preference, and ability/disability. Every session is co-created by the people in the room and lovingly crafted to meet the group’s specific needs.

You’ll learn to listen deeply to your body’s wisdom, express boundaries with clarity and care, and explore hidden desires with reverence. Together, we discover how sexual energy—our most potent life force—can be channeled not just for pleasure, but for profound transformation.

This is not a one-time experience. It’s a new imprint for your nervous system. A new way of relating. A new way of being.

𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗧𝗢 𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗘𝗖𝗧
Our trauma-informed facilitator Katjalisa, supported by a trained co-facilitator, gently guides you into deeper intimacy—first with yourself, then with whoever is in front of you. Expect a mix of breath, movement, touch, presence, and communication, all framed in deep consent.

You are empowered to choose. Every exercise is an invitation. You can stay clothed or undress layer by layer (keeping underwear on, always). You decide what’s right for you in each moment.

You might experience:

Slowing down to feel what’s actually alive in you

Recognizing and unlearning unhealthy patterns

Discovering your ‘full body yes’ and ‘full body no’

Expressing clear boundaries (compassionate communication)

Meeting desire without pressure or expectation

Moving from genital-based to heart-and-energy-based intimacy

Feeling the power of breath and presence

Embracing vulnerability, rejection, and joy

Releasing shame and performance conditioning

Connecting soul-to-soul, heart-to-heart

… and yes—fun, laughter, and pleasure!

Even though the title contains the word sex, the emphasis is on slow. This is about tuning in, not turning on. Only by slowing the F down can we access what’s real: our deepest desires, our true limits, and our innate capacity for pleasure, joy, and creativity.

ARRIVAL
We begin and end together. Please arrive 15 minutes early to land softly. Doors close at the start.

PRACTICE
We start with a grounding meditation and breathwork, then move into partner exercises—both energetic and hands-on. Clothing is optional to a degree, but underwear always stays on. There is no genital contact or penetration.

You’re invited to explore connection beyond preference or identity—beyond gender, roles, or performance. Each exercise honors your autonomy and choice.

CLOSING
We end in a collective circle to share, integrate, and return.

AFTERGLOW
Many come out of curiosity. Many return again and again. No two sessions are ever the same. Every encounter is a mirror. Every group, a new constellation. This practice can shift your relationships—and your life.

𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗠𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧
The Slow Sex Movement is more than a practice—it’s a lifestyle, an art form, and a form of activism that reconnects us to ourselves, each other, and the Earth. By embracing slowness, truth, and deep presence, we end separation and reclaim our erotic aliveness.
