an evening of embodied learning + practice.About this Event
// about \\
we're in an era of relational anemia: we're undersexed, spending less time in 3rd spaces like bars, going on fewer first dates, and getting married at slower rates than previous generations.
if you've been feeling like your erotic, sensual or sexual self has been dormant - then this evening is for you.
over 90 minutes, we'll learn about the range of kinks, a kink vs a fetish, and what to do w any shame that might accompany. Priestess Francesca will guide us into embracing our own through a visualization activity.
For those desiring to - there will be time to share with the group.
Allie, the feels Founder, will be in the room to open + close the space.
// please note \\
this workshop will be consent-forward. we will not be welcoming any nudity, play or sexual activity into the space.
that being said: please have you in the decision to attend, and make sure this is the right space for where you're at.
// about our Guest Facilitator, Priestess Francesca \\
Priestess Francesca is an internationally acclaimed relationship coach, somatic sexologist, certified dominatrix, and host of the podcast. From Advisor of Ethics to major wellness brands to sacred dark erotic in the dungeon, she stands at the intersection of ritual, somatic practice, and consensual power dynamics. She’s walked the path that most resist, deny, or turn their gaze from. But she’s here to urge you to look, see & feel the tingling discomfort of your own desires, dark fantasies, and taboo urges – urges that are bound to transform you, your sex, and your life.
Her work has been featured in Cosmopolitan, Business Insider, Health Magazine, and the Gothamist, and she has spoken at institutions including Sarah Lawrence, Salve Regina, DomCon, Envision and Toronto Tantra Festival. She is known for creating spaces where taboo sexual turn-ons become a portal — and where desire, power, and vulnerability are met with reverence, depth, and zero bullshit.
