Why sacred sexuality workshops need careful facilitation
If you run a festival, retreat or community, you'll know the interest is there. People want to explore sexuality, intimacy and presence in a way that's thoughtful rather than awkward or seedy. You'll also know the risk. Run badly, a workshop on this subject can leave people feeling pressured, exposed or upset, and leave the organiser dealing with complaints. What most organisers want is someone who can make the subject approachable, set up consent properly from the first minute, and handle it well when someone needs to step out. That's the work I do. I design and run sacred sexuality workshops around breath, awareness and consent practice, with the agreements and safeguarding talked through with you in advance. Participants get something real they can use. You get a session you can put on your programme without worrying about it.

How booking a workshop with me works
It starts with a free call. You tell me about your event, your audience and what you're hoping for. I tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit. If it is, we agree the format, length and depth of the session together, so it fits your programme and your audience. That might be a single session at a festival or a longer programme on a retreat. Every format is built from the same practices: breath, awareness of sensation in the body, boundaries and consent practice, and communication exercises. An open festival audience gets an introductory session. A smaller, screened group can go further, always with the same agreements. I can also give you plain wording for your listing, so people know what they're signing up for before they arrive.

What a sacred sexuality workshop actually looks like
Every workshop is shaped to the event, but an introductory session usually runs like this. Welcome. Who I am, what the session is and isn't, and the agreements, said out loud so everyone hears them together. Opting in. A clear reminder that every exercise is optional and people can sit out, rest or leave without explaining. Arriving in the body. A short breath practice to slow down and settle. Consent practice. Simple exercises in pairs: asking, saying no, saying yes, changing your mind, and noticing how each one feels. Awareness. A guided exercise on sensation in your own body. No partner needed. Communication. Practising saying what you'd like and what you wouldn't, in plain words. Sharing and close. A few people say what they noticed, then a short closing practice. Clear agreements on clothing and touch are agreed before we begin, and you can say no at any point. Any contact between participants is optional and only happens with a clear verbal yes. I never single anyone out.

Who these workshops are for, and who they aren't
For organisers: Festivals, retreat centres, wellbeing communities and private groups looking for sacred sexuality content that's careful, adult and well run. Organisers who want safeguarding taken seriously, not left to chance. For participants: Adults curious about intimacy, desire, boundaries and presence, with or without any previous experience. People who want practical tools they can use in their own lives and relationships. Not the right fit: Events looking for something provocative or for shock value. That isn't what I offer. Settings where alcohol or drugs are part of the event during the workshop. Participants need to attend sober. Anyone under 18. Workshops are for adults only, and I ask organisers to make sure of this. Anyone in crisis or looking for therapy. These aren't therapy or sex therapy sessions. Participants with a health condition that makes intense breathwork risky, such as a heart condition, uncontrolled high blood pressure, epilepsy or seizures, glaucoma or a detached retina, pregnancy or recent surgery, are asked to speak to me before the session. Every breath practice can be done gently or skipped. If someone is working with a therapist, that's welcome.

Who you'd be booking
I'm Leon. I've been practising breathwork since 2017 and I've done more than 500 hours of breathwork training. I'm an ISTA Level 1 to 3 graduate, and my sacred sexuality facilitation draws on that training alongside breathwork, tantric study and trauma-informed somatic practice. I've facilitated at Astral Plans, EntheoGEM and &Soul. I work internationally, mostly across Europe, Thailand and Bali. Like a lot of people, I grew up with shame around sex and very little honest talk about it. ISTA was the first place I saw this held with real care and clear consent. I do this work because it helped me, and because it's rare to find it done safely. I'm not a therapist or sex therapist. I'm a facilitator who takes consent and safeguarding seriously, and I'll be straight with you about what I can and can't offer.
Questions organisers and participants ask
Q: Is the workshop explicit in any way? A: The practices are breath, awareness, consent and communication. Clear agreements on clothing and touch are agreed before we begin, and anyone can say no at any point. Q: Will participants be expected to touch each other? A: No. Any contact is optional and only happens with a clear verbal yes. Everyone can take part fully without touching anyone. Q: What happens if someone gets upset during a session? A: They can step out at any time, and nobody will ask them to explain. I check in with them as soon as I can, and point them to further support if they need it. Q: Can you adapt the workshop for our audience? A: Yes. I shape the length, depth and wording to your event and agree it with you in advance. Q: Do participants need any experience? A: No. Introductory sessions are designed for people who've never done anything like this before. Q: Can people come on their own or with a partner? A: Either. The exercises work for people who arrive alone, and nobody is paired with someone they haven't said yes to. Q: Do you travel? A: Yes. I work internationally, and I'm often in the UK, Portugal, Germany, Cyprus, Thailand or Bali. Q: Is it therapy? A: No. These aren't therapy or sex therapy sessions, and I make that clear to participants at the start. Q: How much does it cost? A: Investment is discussed on your free 30-minute discovery call.
