DANCING WITH EROS

SESSION ONE | SATURDAY 17.05 | 10AM - 12PM

This workshop is a unique and sacred space where Eros, the life force energy that flows through us as sexual, creative, and passionate energy, takes centre stage.


Through guided movement, group and partnered exercises, and free-flow dance, we will explore how Eros moves through our bodies. This isn’t about performing or achieving anything specific; it’s about allowing your authentic desires, feelings, and erotic energy to express themselves through your body in the present moment.


In many parts of society, erotic energy is often suppressed or shamed, but in Dancing with Eros, we honour it. Here, we create a container where erotic energy can be freely invited, acknowledged, and expressed naturally, through dance, movement, and connection.


You’ll have the opportunity to:

Connect with your own Eros and explore how it feels to embody it in a space of acceptance and curiosity

Move your body in ways that feel expansive, grounded, and authentic

Engage in exercises designed to help you tune into your erotic energy, allowing it to guide your movement

Experience a community of people who are equally committed to exploring Eros with respect, consent, and non-judgment.

This event is an invitation to let go of societal expectations, to free your erotic energy, and to witness it as it flows naturally. It’s about understanding Eros not just as sexual desire, but as a creative, life-affirming force that is meant to be expressed and celebrated in our bodies.

Whether you’ve never danced before or are an experienced mover, this space will meet you where you are and invite you to explore new layers of connection with yourself and others.

DANCING WITH EROS

VELVET

VELVET TEMPLE

Velvet is a trauma informed somatic and energy worker, ritualist, ceremonialist, practitioner of Tantra, sacred sexuality, tantric kink . She weaves ritual and embodied experiences into her practice, guiding those she touches to uncover the raw, primal beauty of Eros.


Velvet dances between the extremes—between the shadows and the light, where dark seriousness and laughter exist in harmony. Eros, in her hands, can be a deep, ceremonial force—profound, mysterious, and transformative. It can also shift into a playful, light energy, overflowing with cheekiness, and joy. Her essence holds space for both and everything in between. Her performances, rituals and guided practices illuminate the infinite ways Eros manifests, reminding us that each human carries their own unique expression of desire, love, lust, sensuality and sexuality.


An advocate of a sex-positive world, she creates spaces where Eros is free, transcendent, and utterly unbound.
