SMUT & SOMATICS WORKSHOP
a workshop for erotically charged self reflection and BODY movement
Join Caitlin Harrison (sex therapist and the creator of The Self Help Smut Club) and Carly Pifer (creator of AURORE erotica) for a pleasure forward writing and movement workshop.
Pair conscious movement with exploratory writing prompts to feel your way through your desires, memories, and self-knowledge.
This intimate workshop is an inviting container for self-reflection and gentle bodywork through spicy writing and breath & movement exercises to connect you with your body.

What if I’ve never written before?

What if I’ve never done somatics?
Everything is an invitation—the bodywork involved here is gentle breathing and very slow easy movement, don’t worry!
