About this Event
Explore, embody and express your sensuality from a place of self-love and discover what you need to drop in more fully.
It's not about looking a certain way or moving a certain way- it's about you feeling comfortable in your skin and celebrating your aliveness, your beauty, your radiance - and allowing yourself to be witnessed as this alive, beautiful, radiant being
As women we often feel unsafe in our sensual and sexual expression. Afraid that it might be seen as an invitation or that it will be used against us. The truth is that when a woman is connected to these parts of herself, she is immensely powerful.
When you think of a lap dance, you might think of a strip club where men seem to have the power and women are dancing for their pleasure. This workshop aims to redefine the dynamics of a lap dance where the dancer dances for his or her own pleasure while the receiver holds space for their process. Together we explore the qualities that support or diminish your sensual expression. The goal is not to seduce the receiver - though whenever you are fully dropped in, this becomes inevitable.
This is a Tantra inspired event. The dynamics of a lap dance offer a perfect representation of the eternal love story between Shiva (divine masculine) and Shakti (the divine feminine). In this workshop we will play with masculine and feminine energy - exploring their qualities and how they interact and fuel one another. You’ll be invited to embody both.
This is not a dance class where you learn steps. You are always invited to follow your own flow, exploring your unique expression. Become a more fully and expressed version of yourself and discover yourself through the art of lap dance

Testimonials
I highly recommend going to Sophie’s offering Conscious Lap Dance. It was almost like a beautiful women’s circle plus expressing and connecting to ourselves and other women through the art of dance. I learned so much about space holding and taking space in the most beautiful mutual and safe way. I got to experience how dancing staying connected with myself can feel. Very empowering :)

Sophie facilitates her events with passion, presence and so much integrity. I felt really seen and safe in the lap dance event and did connect with my inner godess and playful spirit. Also my fears in the beginning were welcome and I could integrate some wounded parts within me. Every exercise is really an invitation to get to know yourself and your pleasure better while being able to connect in small steps with other participants.
