Mindful Intimacy for Everyone - Part II

Mindful Intimacy for Everyone - Part II

Explore deep intimacy and transform your approach to sex the Mindful Intimacy // Part 2 workshop!


Have you ever wondered if there is MORE to sex? In this enriching four-hour workshop, you’ll learn tools and practices that will radically transform your understanding of intimacy with self and others.

Why should you do this work? Whether you’re single or partnered, mindful intimacy is about paying close attention to our bodies and our breath—it’s very different from the sexuality that’s modeled for us in pop culture. Practicing mindful intimacy is about slowing down, paying more attention, and using our awareness to enhance our intimate experiences.
In this 4-hour workshop, you will:

- Practice a grounding breathwork to connect to your body
- Learn new ways to think about desire, arousal, and pleasure
- Play with new sensations to expand your access to pleasure in your body
- Explore three Tantric practices to dive deep into connection with self and other

Here is a sweet testimonial from a participant at Mindful Intimacy // Part 1: "The workshop gave me new tools for communication in my relationship, and it made me feel less confused about how to approach the topic of intimacy. It gave me a chance to let go of some judgements I’ve been holding onto about my body. I really enjoyed the chance to connect with my partner and myself in a safe, playful, and supportive environment." 💜

This workshop is co-taught by Sabra Della Lucia, LMFT, and Andrea Devon Bertoli, Pleasure Coach & Sex Educator. Our combined experience and tools give you a unique opportunity to explore communication and comfort in intimacy and pleasure in a safe space, with therapeutic support.


If you have attended Mindful Intimacy // Part 1, this is a great way to expand on what you learned; if you’ve not taken Part 1 you’re still welcome and will learn a lot in this juicy class! This workshop is for everyone—single, partnered, or exploring other ways of relating! There is no nudity nor intimate touch in this workshop, however, there will be descriptions and discussions of sexual activities and anatomy.

Mindful Intimacy for Everyone - Part I

  • 1130 Koko Head Ave. Honolulu, HI, 96816 United States (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Welcome to Mindful Intimacy! In this workshop you’ll learn tools and practices to help deepen your approach to intimacy, for self and others. You will learn to drop into your body, tune into inner wisdom, and build awareness around giving and receiving touch. This workshop is for everyone—single, partnered, or exploring other ways of relating!

In this 4-hour workshop, we will develop a deeper understanding of intimacy and practice creating connection with ourselves and others. You will build new skills using a combination of mindful touch practices, therapeutic education, and open discussion. During this workshop, there will be some solo practices and some non-intimate touch practices among participants.

This workshop is co-taught by Sabra Della Lucia, LMFT, and Andrea Devon Bertoli, Pleasure Coach & Sex Educator. Our combined experience and tools give you a unique opportunity to explore communication and comfort in intimacy and pleasure in a safe space, with therapeutic support.

In this playful and engaging workshop, you will:

Practice grounding breathwork to tap into self-awareness

Explore intuition to better know your desires and needs.

Deepen your understanding of consent using a dynamic model of giving/receiving

Express yourself with specific and clear communication

Empower yourself with tools to deepen intimacy with yourself and others

Why should you do this work? If you want to improve communication, feel more clear about your desires, and gain an understanding of deeper pleasure principles. You’ll leave with a wildly expanded view of sensation and pleasure, and you’ll gain clarity about how and why asking for what we want is a superpower that can build deeper intimacy.

Here is a sweet testimonial from a previous event: "The workshop gave me new tools for communication in my relationship, and it made me feel less confused about how to approach the topic of intimacy. It gave me a chance to let go of some judgements I’ve been holding onto about my body. I really enjoyed the chance to connect with my partner and myself in a safe, playful, and supportive environment." 💜
