EMBRACING YOUR EROS | FAQ
 

Whether you’re brand new to conscious intimacy spaces, deeply experienced, or simply curious about what might be possible, we want you to know what you’re walking into.

Embracing Your Eros is intentionally designed to offer education, choice, connection, and increasingly embodied exploration inside a clear, consent-centered container.

Who is Embracing Your Eros for?

Curious humans. Experienced humans. Brand-new humans. Solo attendees and couples. All genders, sexual orientations, and relationship structures are welcome. This is an LGBTQIA+ inclusive space.

You don’t need to be kinky, non-monogamous, sexually adventurous, or experienced in erotic spaces to belong here. Come as you are.

I’m brand new (or very experienced). Is this for me?

Yes. If this is your first conscious intimacy, kink, or erotic event, you won’t be expected to already know the language, practices, or rules. We’ll give you the information you need to make your own choices.

If you’ve been exploring Eros for years, come to deepen and expand. The invitation isn’t to prove how experienced you are, but to discover what else might be available.

Can I come alone or with a partner? 

Absolutely. Couples can stay together, explore separately, interact only with each other, or choose something in between. Solo attendees are equally welcome, and coming alone never means you’re available for dating, touch, or play.

Your relationships and agreements remain yours. Erotic education does not require relational expansion.

I’m excited, and also nervous. Is that normal?

Very. Curiosity and nervousness can coexist, especially when you’re entering a new kind of space. We won’t drop you into the deep end. The weekend is intentionally titrated, beginning with conversation, education, consent, and connection before moving toward more embodied exploration. 

This weekend is designed to help you expand your comfort zone without blowing past your sense of safety. You may discover that you want to try something new, have a conversation you’ve never had before, or explore an edge with more curiosity than usual. You may also discover that your most important choice is to slow down,  observe, or say no.

There is no gold star for doing more. Growth here is not measured by how far you go. It’s measured by how honestly you choose, and this is an excellent place to practice.

WHAT AM I ACTUALLY SIGNING UP FOR?

Embracing Your Eros is a curated educational and experiential intimacy event. The weekend builds intentionally from education and conversation into community, embodiment, and optional erotic exploration.

Think education + embodiment + community + consciously curated exploration.

What if I don’t want to participate in something? Can I just watch?

Absolutely. Everything presented is an invitation.

Participate, modify, observe, take a break, or opt out completely. You can say yes and later say no. You never need to push through discomfort to prove you’re adventurous, liberated, or “good at” this. Witnessing is participation. Saying no is participation, too.

How do consent, boundaries, and “full voice and choice” work?

Your yes belongs to you. Your no belongs to you. And your yes can turn into a no at anytime. Ongoing, enthusiastic consent is foundational to everything we explore. Consent to one experience never implies consent to another.

What does “entry-level adult play party” actually mean?

Saturday evening offers opportunities to explore connection, sensation, conscious kink, power, pleasure, and play inside a consent-centered container.

You may witness sensual or erotic expression. You can play, connect, socialize, or simply take in the room. There is no expectation to participate, and no genital-to-genital contact is permitted.

What happens during Sunday’s Embodied Shapeshifter Experience?

This facilitated experience explores giving, receiving, sensation, touch, and connection. Many attendees say this is a highlight is the most nourishing and nurturing experience of their lives.

Undergarments remain on throughout. You choose how much skin you share, where and how you are touched, and your level of participation.

What is the sobriety policy?

This is a sober event. No alcohol or recreational substances are allowed in the event space. By registering, you agree to arrive and remain sober during workshop hours.

What are the confidentiality, privacy, and photography agreements?

What happens here stays here. Confidentiality is part of your agreement to attend. You’re welcome to share your own experience and insights afterward. You may not share another participant’s identity, disclosures, experiences, or activities without their explicit permission.

Photography, video, and recording are not permitted during workshops, embodied practices, or play spaces unless specifically authorized. We will be taking some photography and video for our own marketing purposes, you can opt out of this at the event by wearing a red wristband which will be provided.

Where is this happening?

We’ll gather at a private venue in Oakland, California. The exact address and arrival details will be shared with registered attendees.

What’s the refund policy?

Because of the intimate size and curated nature of this event, we’re unable to offer refunds.
