Almost spring...

​

I'm glad to share that the Open Relating Online Peer Support got off to a great start in January and is returning to it's montly flow. You can join the peer support Telegram group where we have ongoing discussions and sharings in-between peer support sessions. The next session is on 23 Feb.

This week I recorded a series of Youtube videos with Susan Bratton, a force of nature in the intimacy and sexuality coaching world and a proud polyamorist. The videos will be out soon and announced via this newsletter and Instagram reels.

The recent developments in the US and the very quick capitulation of social media platforms to a new government with unconcealed Fascist intentions is extremely worrying. I want to build more resiliene in my own practice and not rely as much on platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and Threads that are all owned by Meta, a recent collaborator with the new regime. I will be focusing more on connecting with you directly through this newsletter as well as my Telegram channel.

Please be careful out there if you live in the US, and reach out to build and nurture communities as much as possible.

Fusion Dance meets Play Fight with Skye and Roy

29-30 March 2025 – Berlin

Over the course of 2 days (Saturday 29- Sunday 30 March), we will journey together into this wonderfully spicy mix of play, connection, experimentation, sensuality and empowerment – learning to see ourselves and each other in new, surprising and inspiring ways. How did this all come about? Skye and Roy met inside the play fighting circle, and their first contact was an intense physical play fight, full of energy, humour and fun. That moment planted a seed, and that seed grew into this weekend – an intimate and exciting mix of Fusion dance, Contact Improvisation and Play Fighting. Skye are Roy are bringing together their passion, experience and skills to offer a unique, exhilarating combination of embodied consent, movement, dance and martial arts practices.

What can you expect from this weekend?

• Learn the basics of Fusion dance, Play Fighting and Contact Improvisation
• Improve your consent and safety awareness in self-movement and contact with others.
• Be challenged to discover, define and communicate your boundaries.
• Make authentic connections in a supportive, conscious and sober space.

​

​

​Biamorous​
Polyamory that extends to a max of 2 partners.
