Sensation Playshop for Solo Explorers

Are you curious about the possibilities of pleasure and touch? Would you like to discover a new way of relating to yourself, to your body and to others? The Lahlita Project warmly invites you to 'Sensation Playshop'; a two part offering of self-enquiry, exploration and learning with Shelly Skye and Ria Hope. Part 1: Sensation Playshop for Solo Explorers (Thursday 2nd July) we focus on connecting with our own bodies. Part 2: Sensation Playshop for Playmates (Tuesday 7th July) we offer insights and practises in relating with others. We are living in an extremely fast-paced world, where everything from our relationships to our encounters and even our modes of intimacy have sped up. For many of us, the relationship we have with ourselves and our bodies can feel a little estranged or disconnected. We believe that to cultivate a healthy and intimate relationships we must learn to slow down, honour our senses and use them as a way of learning more about ourselves and those we interact with. Through these workshops, we will be taking you on a journey through the sensation of touch, opening conversation around our relationship with our bodies and offering you a series of exercises to explore solo or with a partner to encourage healthier connection and relating. ----- The workshops will be run on Zoom.
