Join us for NMbodied - a community embodiment practice for Non-Monogamists. This month: Embodied Intimacy with our host Jess Rodwell.
About this Event
The NMbodied series are a monthly community gathering and embodiment practice for Non-Monogamists in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland.
Cultivate a sense of safety, resiliency and freedom within self, while exploring or deepening the non-monogamous relationships in your life. Process the challenges of Consensual Non-Monogamy (CNM) within the community through conscious relating and embodiment practices.
Each monthly event will feature a new guest facilitator, guiding you through an embodiment practice aimed at connecting with your true authentic expression.
Whether you have been practicing non monogamy for years, or are new to alternative relationships, we encourage you to use these events as an opportunity to ground and connect with yourself, and your inner world.
When and Where
FRIDAY, May 31st, 2024 | 6:30pm - 8:30pm
AO Studio - 554 Clarke Drv, Vancouver (East Van)
What to Expect
Founders Jess Rodwell and Bekah Sarino will begin the evening with an introduction to NMbodied, followed by small group circles for connection and getting to know your community members.
This workshop offers an educational, hands-on and embodied approach to navigating intimacy within Non-Monogamous relationships. Participants will learn to understand their embodied experience, and how to cultivate safety, freedom, and sensual pleasure within their nervous system, while practicing Non-Monogamy.
You will walk away from this workshop with:
- a greater understanding of how your autonomic nervous system plays a role in your relationships
- a deeper connection with your embodied boundaries, identifying authentic ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ signals in the Soma (body)
- an embodied sense of safety, freedom and sensual pleasure with yourself and others
- new CNM friends and community members!
CONSENT CULTURE: NMbodied is a consent based community. All facilitators and participants are required to request enthusiastic consent before introducing physical touch, or providing feedback/advice to fellow participants.
