A new culture of intimacy, connection, and embodied presence.
What if your sexuality could be a gatewayโnot just to pleasure, but to healing, aliveness, and deep human connection?
The Slow Sex Practice is the foundational ritual of the Slow Sex Movementโa 3-hour in-person group experience guided by trauma-informed facilitators. Within a clear structure, you are gently invited into intimacy with yourself and othersโwhether a total stranger or a longtime partner. This is not about performance or peak moments. Itโs about presence. Itโs about awakening to what is truly alive in you.
Please take your time to read the full description belowโto manage your expectations.

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 groupโs specific needs.
Youโll learn to listen deeply to your bodyโs wisdom, express boundaries with clarity and care, and explore hidden desires with reverence. Together, we discover how sexual energyโour most potent life forceโcan be channeled not just for pleasure, but for profound transformation.
This is not a one-time experience. Itโs a new imprint for your nervous system. A new way of relating. A new way of being.

Our trauma-informed facilitator Katjalisa, supported by a trained co-facilitator, gently guides you into deeper intimacyโfirst 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 whatโs right for you in each moment.
You might experience:
Slowing down to feel whatโs actually alive in you
Recognizing and unlearning unhealthy patterns
Discovering your โfull body yesโ and โfull body noโ
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 yesโfun, 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 whatโs 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 exercisesโboth energetic and hands-on. Clothing is optional to a degree, but underwear always stays on. There is no genital contact or penetration.
Youโre invited to explore connection beyond preference or identityโbeyond 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 relationshipsโand your life.

The Slow Sex Movement is more than a practiceโitโs 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.
