Opening Up: A Workshop for People Exploring Consensual Non-Monogamy
This 5-day workshop is designed as a crash course for singles and couples who want to explore consensual non-monogamy without crashing and burning. Through challenges, exercises, and education sessions, we cover all the flavours of non-monogamy, basic and expert communication, exploring desire and sexuality, maximizing compersion and minimizing jealousy, emotional management skills, creating a passion map, choice, and constructing your unique relationship. The workshop is designed to give you the opportunity to try out new ideas, skills, feelings, and behaviours in a safe environment where you have professional support when things get triggered or when you react in unexpected ways. You will leave the workshop with new skills, a clear set of goals and action plans to reach those goals. You may leave the workshop with clear agreements with a partner around opening up and your further non-monogamy journey.
Each workshop is held in a super location that is designed to help you focus on what you are learning and exploring and that gives you a break away from the everyday world.
The groups are intimate: 16 to 20 people in total so that everyone gets lots of individual attention.
The next workshop is summer 2023, with dates and location to be confirmed.

The Art of Surrender
A weekend workshop with Dr Lori Beth Bisbey and Qiana Green
Can you tell the difference between compliance and surrender?
Do you wish you could simply do what your Dominant requires without constant mental chatter?
Do you struggle to truly let go of control?
In this workshop, we teach the art of surrender – the ability to simply be, in the present, surrendered. We look at surrender from all angles and uncover the common areas of struggle and teach the skills to end these struggles and increase your surrender.
Group maximum is 30 so everyone gets one to one attention.
Next workshop: Autumn 2023. Dates and location to be confirmed.
