Advanced Touch & Consent Training
Exploring Eros
Learn to notice, trust and communicate your desires with confidence and grace
with Adam Wilder and Helena Laughton
‘The Holy Grail of touch, desire and consent’
14-16 April 2023, London
Are you ready to step into a new era of freedom, health and grace in all your intimacy?
Join us for a transformational weekend to take your embodied relating to the next level.
This is an advanced course for individuals and couples to learn through new practical exercises, integrations and expert guidance. The workshop is designed to help you:
- own and express your desires with others
- feel more confident, comfortable and embodied in intimate contexts
- notice when you are activated and learn how to regulate your nervous system
- discover more aliveness in your sensuality
We will guide you, you'll learn tools and techniques for effective communication, and have ample opportunity to practice in a safe and supportive environment.
Our program will also help you to understand the importance of your own desires and needs, how to resolve hidden relationship dynamics, and how to navigate difficult situations with grace and assertiveness.
This is an advanced workshop aimed at participants who have already have some experience in this area.
If you are unsure if you are ready to join this weekend, you can book a call with one of the team.
The key to satisfying intimacy is our capacity to notice, trust and communicate our desires.
Many of us can struggle with these even outside of intimate contexts. Within these contexts, where the level of intensity is higher, we can be quick to default back to old patterns: diminishing our desires, seeking to people please, feeling awkward but saying nothing, noticing pressures to conform, freezing, enduring or losing touch with what we really want. This can be frustrating, both in new relationships and existing ones.
Through learning and practising tried and tested techniques, this course will help you build confidence and gain ease and mastery with your desires.

Ayla Maria, Music Producer
"This is a game changer."
"It helped me to realise that I am responsible for my own pleasure and cleans up my self-responsibility and the responsibility others have for themselves."

Hana Welsh, Glamping Consultant
"I'm feeling elated and amazed at how simple it can be when you have set a clear container. My other big takeaway is learning to pause and choose rather than just react."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Mark Hughes, IT Consultant
"I realise I’ve never been with someone in my life with healthy giving and receiving. After the workshop I know I want that and am ready for it in my next relationship."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Judith Henehan, Personal Assistant
"I thought I wasn’t a touchy-feely person, and now realise I love giving and receiving touch. Made me realise I can care about others and still put my own needs first. I can stop worrying about other people's feelings so much."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Jo S, Stockport
"Pleasure is not something I need others to give to me, it's something I can give to myself. Now I know that I can stop blaming others."
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Please note
Whilst there are opportunities for exchanging touch as part of the learning in this workshop, this is 100% optional and it is not necessary to touch or be touched or to work with any individual to benefit from the session. If you are attending as a couple, you are free to work with your partner the entire time or to mix it up as you prefer.
For some exercises during the workshop, there will be the option to remove pieces of clothing. Support from our experienced team will be on hand at all times.
