Please take your time to read the full description below—to manage your expectations.

IMPORTANT: unlike all our other Slow Sex Practices that are open for everyone, this edition is designed especially for couples that are in a committed relationship. The practice will be the same. The focus of the guidance though will cater specifically to themes you encounter within long term relating.

✨ 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗟𝗢𝗪 𝗦𝗘𝗫 𝗣𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗘 ?
A 3-hour in-person group experience to explore (and potentially) heal the way we relate and create a new culture of relating that is authentic, vulnerable, and healthy. In essence, relating is a form of art, and to become a master, we need to dedicate time and energy—we need to practice.

✨ 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗖𝗔𝗡 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗘𝗖𝗧?
Within a clear structure, our trauma-informed facilitator Anneke—supported by trauma-informed space holder—guides you into deep intimacy. The aim is to empower you, become fully present, connect deeply with yourself and your partner. This way we can get in touch with our truest desires, authentic boundaries, and ultimately powerful sexual energy.

This what you’ll potentially experience at the Slow Sex Practice:
- Recognising & breaking (unhealthy) patterns
- Deconditioning you sexual behavior
- Learning how to access our ‘full body yes’ and our ‘full body no’
- Setting and expressing boundaries compassionately (NVC) and honouring those of others
- Discovering what your desires are and expressing them
- Moving slowly without goal in mind
- Using communication as constructive tool
- Using your breath as guide and guardian
- Moving beyond the body to explore to energetic love, play and connection.
- Connecting from heart to heart
- Embracing vulnerability and rejection
- Freeing yourself (self-)judgement & shame
- Loads of fun, laughter, and of course, pleasure!

Even though the title contains the word sex, the focus is on SLOW—just to calm your nerves :). Only by slowing the F down, you can access and listen to your most hidden sexual desires and most authentic boundaries to build a healthy and loving relationship with your body—your sacred temple and portal to immense pleasure, joy & creativity.

✨ 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧'𝗦 𝗙𝗟𝗢𝗪 𝗢𝗙 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗘?
🚪 ARRIVAL: We start and finish the Slow Sex Practice all together. Please, arrive 15 minutes before to give yourself time to settle in and we invite you to stay until the end.

👫 EXERCISES: After the guided meditation and breathwork to connect with yourself, we move into partner exercises, both energetic and hands-on. Each exercise is merely an invitation; you decide how far to go and can say 'no' anytime. You can explore variations and get naked, yet we always keep underwear on. Create the experience that feels right for you in each moment.

You are empowered to create the experience that is appropriate for yourself in that moment with your partner.

Overall, we’ll learn to sloooow down, fine-tune our (sexual) energy, and go on a deep journey into healing intimacy with yourself and others.

🦋 CLOSING: We collectively close the experience in a (sharing) circle.

👁 AFTER: Remember, the Slow Sex Practice is a transformative, eye-opening, and healing experience designed for those longing to create a different culture of deep intimacy and authentic relating. Everybody is encouraged to apply the provided tools beyond the context of sexuality, integrating them into everyday life. It can transform your relationship. It can transform your life.

The Slow Sex Movement is more than a practice, for us, it’s a lifestyle, and art form and even a form of activism that deeply connects us to ourselves, each other and nature, thus ending separation. For more info about the Slow Sex Movement, please visit: https://slowsex.me/
