A six-week introduction to intimacy, pleasure and staying connected to yourself!!!

First Base is for the nervous sapphics, queer curious, late bloomers, over-givers and big-hearted babes who want more confidence, pleasure and connection but aren’t sure where to begin.

Maybe you feel inexperienced or behind. Maybe you understand your patterns in your head, talk about them in therapy but they keep returning in your relationships. You want to communicate more honestly, trust your body and let yourself receive without disappearing inside somebody else’s needs.

First Base gives you somewhere to practise!!!!!!!!!!!! This is one of the antidotes to the Modern Intimacy Crisis!

Across six weeks (wednesdays), we explore the foundations of self-intimacy, boundaries, consent, desire, receiving, unlocking more pleasure and disolving body and sexuality shame all through embodied practices, honest conversation and playful relational experiments.

You don’t need to arrive confident, sexually experienced or fearless. You won’t be pressured to touch anyone, reveal more than you want to or perform a version of yourself that feels acceptable. Everything is an invitation.

Come as you are. If you have done the touch portal then this is your next step into deepening in your confidence around pleasure, intimacy and authentic relating.

This is for you if…

  • You feel nervous, inexperienced or late to intimacy.

  • You struggle to know what you want until the moment has passed.

  • You find it easier to give than receive.

  • You worry about disappointing people when you say no.

  • You lose yourself inside other people’s needs.

  • You understand your patterns but want to feel real change in your body.

  • You want intimacy that feels honest, playful and connected.

  • You are curious about pleasure but don’t know where to begin.

  • You want to feel confident in touch, knowing what you like and how to be in intimate scenarios

What we’ll explore

Each week we will:

6:00pm - Tea, Drop in & Sharing Circle.
6:45pm - Teaching of Concept
7:30pm - Embodiment Exercise
8:30pm - Ceremony
9:15pm - Closing Circle
9:30pm - Home Time

Feb 9th; Week one: Coming home to yourself

We begin with self-intimacy: noticing what you feel, need, want and prefer. You’ll start building a relationship with your body that isn’t based on judgement, performance or getting it “right”. This is where intimacy begins. Tonight we practice self touch, self massages and self pleasure.

Feb 16th Week two: Your Inner Dom and Inner Sub

Meet the two inner capacities that help you stay connected to yourself while opening to another person.

Your Inner Dom leads, chooses and protects. Your Inner Sub softens, feels and receives. We explore how strong boundaries and embodied choice create enough safety for pleasure, vulnerability and receiving.

Feb 23rd - Week three: Consent you can feel

Consent is more than saying yes or no. It is learning to notice your body’s signals, communicate honestly and give yourself permission to pause, change your mind or ask for something different.

We practise boundaries that protect connection rather than shutting it down. This week we are focusing on giving and receiving touch.

March 2nd Week four: Desire, pleasure and receiving

What do you want when you stop performing what you think you should want?

We explore pleasure without pressure, receiving without immediately giving back and the shame or guilt that can appear when attention turns towards you.

March 9th Week five: Your Inner Monk and Inner Punk

Your Inner Monk slows down, listens and integrates. Your Inner Punk speaks, moves and refuses to shrink.

You’ll explore how to rest without disappearing, express yourself without abandoning your centre and choose the energy the moment actually needs.

March 16th Week six: Practising real connection

We bring everything together: self-trust, boundaries, desire, receiving, communication and expression. You’ll practise staying connected to yourself while being witnessed by others and create a personal way forward that belongs to you. A witnessing ceremony that leaves you feeling exhilarated and liberated.

What you’ll leave with

By the end of First Base, you’ll…

  • Know what your body is communicating.

  • Self- Massage Knowledge.

  • What you want, need and prefer.

  • How to express a boundary without apologising for existing.

  • How to receive care, attention and pleasure.

  • How to feel confident in giving and recieivng touch.

  • How to stay present when intimacy feels vulnerable.

  • Connection, belonging and community through more authentic connection

First Base won’t teach you how to become more acceptable, impressive or experienced. It will help you become more honest, more embodied and more available for the intimacy you actually want!

16 SPOTS ONLY

LATE BIRD: $1350 (After Dec 25th)

    FLINTA is an acronym used in German-speaking queer and feminist communities.
    It stands for:

    • Frauen – women

    • Lesben – lesbians

    • Inter – intersex people

    • Nicht-binäre – non-binary people

    • Trans – trans people

    • Agender – agender people

    It’s basically a political term that names and centers people who experience gender-based oppression in patriarchal societies, while explicitly excluding cis men.

    The term came out of activism and safer space organising — especially in queer/feminist, anti-capitalist, and intersectional contexts — to create clarity about who an event or group is for. Using FLINTA-only signals that the space is designed for people targeted by sexism and patriarchal violence, with the intention of building solidarity, safety, and autonomy.

  • First Base is the first in a 4-part inner-city retreat series designed to support you in reconciling with your inner lover—the part of you that longs for deeper connection, trust, and pleasure.

    Through embodied practices, pleasure mapping, and intentional intimacy rituals, you'll explore what it means to be in devotional relationship with yourself—to tend to your desires, unlearn old conditioning, and embrace intimacy as a daily practice. This is where we lay the foundation, reclaiming intimacy as an art, a skill, and a sacred act of self-honoring.

    First Base builds upon the work you may have done at Tender Core or introduces guiding you through a layered journey of embodiment, relational intimacy, and self-reclamation.
