Why This Space Exists
Online dating doesn't work anymore. It's replaced genuine connections with comparison and disposability.
And offline? We've forgotten how to connect. We don't know how to express attraction honestly. How to communicate rejection without ghosting. How to sit with the discomfort of real contact.
The result: Men and women rarely have real conversations anymore, without defending, strategizing, or performing.
Meanwhile:
Many men don't know how threatening or invasive certain experiences feel for women
Many women don't know how deeply men experience rejection, invisibility, or inadequacy
We talk about each other online. We barely talk with each other offline.
Something is off in the contact between men and women. This workshop is an experiment: a space to figure out how to relate again, authentically, without scripts or roles.
What Makes This Different
No pickup tactics. No "dark feminine" performance. No masculinity or femininity scripts.
Instead:
Real listening across the gender divide
Embodied authenticity
Freedom from the pressure to "get it right"
You'll explore:
How you truly show up in contact with the opposite sex
What happens when you stop performing
How to navigate attraction, boundaries, and rejection, in your body, not in your head

Frequently Asked Questions
-
No. I deliberately don't position this as a dating event. I'm not a relationship coach or sex coach. I'm an embodiment coach and Authentic Relating facilitator. My passion is creating spaces for connection.
-
No. I've been to tantric dating events myself and found them... cringy. That's not the vibe here. This is about authentic connection and having fun while doing it, not performative spirituality.
-
No nudity—, that's explicitly not allowed.
My facilitation style is based on connection through conversation and presence. If physical closeness is mutually desired by two people, that's welcome, but most exercises are non-physical. -
I offer a low-key matchmaking service where I can connect two interested people after the event for a small fee. But there's no pressure, you can also just exchange contact info on your own.
-
Yes. As a straight woman myself, I find it easier to create spaces for people with similar experiences. I believe LGBTQ+ spaces should be held and facilitated by LGBTQ+ people, there's simply more understanding and empathy that way.
-
Everyone is welcome who identifies as a man or woman and is heterosexual. Whether you're cisgender or transgender doesn't matter, what matters is how you identify now.
-
As vulnerable, honest, and authentic as you want to be. There's no expectation from me about who you should be. You're here for yourself, not for anyone else.
-
I'm still experimenting and want to figure out how to build these spaces best. You're one of the first people trying my new format. I've been practicing Authentic Relating since 2021 and facilitating since 2022—over 100 workshops online and offline—so you're in good hands.
