Tantric Salon: Consent and Boundaries

Safe connection is built on clear consent, recognising our own boundaries, and open communication. This evening, we’ll explore how consent, boundaries, and trust can open the way to deeper connection, pleasure, and freedom. We’ll practise expressing our wishes and boundaries, and explore different ways of relating to another person: guiding and being guided, supporting and receiving, serving and surrendering. The tantric perspective invites us to explore these roles playfully and mindfully, without pressure to perform.

Tantric Salon is a space for meeting, presence, and deeper connection. It’s a place where you can pause and listen to yourself—to what you long for right now and what matters to you. You don’t need to perform, know, or be able to do anything here; you can simply be and explore your experience with curiosity. Tantric Salon is an oasis of presence amid hectic everyday life. You can let go of busyness and the pressure to perform for a while, and simply enjoy the moment, along with the peace and well-being it brings.

Alongside touch exercises that calm the nervous system, we’ll also delve deeper and explore what we think, how we react, and what feelings arise in us around different themes. At Tantric Salon, we learn to recognise our needs, feelings, and boundaries through a variety of guided exercises. These exercises help you pause and listen to yourself and to what matters to you. You’ll also have the opportunity to connect with others, be open and responsive to their needs, and notice and respect their boundaries. Co-regulation helps calm your nervous system and makes social connection easier, so you can experience safety and peace both within yourself and with others.

You are warmly welcome to Tantric Salon, whether you’ve been on the tantric path for a while or are just beginning your journey of self-discovery. Perhaps you feel called to explore whether tantra might be for you, or you’re looking for a space where you can meet yourself and others genuinely and gently.

During the evening, we’ll do guided presence, connection, and touch exercises that support mindful connection, sensitivity, and embodied presence. The exercises are done individually, in pairs, and in groups, in a safe and gentle way that respects everyone’s personal boundaries. The activities take place fully clothed, seated or moving at floor level. Please bring a sitting cushion and a water bottle.
