This is My Body: Resurrecting Self-Sovereignty, Embodiment & Pleasure

This is a 3-part interactive and somatically informed workshop series developed and led by two skilled facilitators: Kori Doty of @softtouchbodies and Jess DeVries of @belovedcoaching .

Both Kori and Jess grew up in Christian church traditions, but left when they felt that living in the fullness of who they were was not welcome in the church. When they later found their ways back to their bodies, including sexuality and gender experiences that were at odds with their upbringing, they each longed for and crafted individual rituals and practices to bridge the expanses between where they came from and where they found themselves.

This workshop series comes from a desire to share what we know about embodiment and pleasure while holding space for the deep inquiry it takes to define sexual values that are in alignment with the truth within yourself and your deeply personal relationship to spirit and community.  We crafted this offering into what felt like a familiar framework; a liturgical structure that borrows from traditions that our bodies know and integrates somatics and embodiment tools, intersectional analysis, and our own theologies of pleasure.

In This is My Body, we turn back to the places that we came from, holding the door open for others to follow us into the liberation we have found and learned to cultivate as professional sex & embodiment coaches; in the way that is just right for your body, sexuality, and relationship to the divine.
