Embodied Intimacy: Pleasure, Connection & Play

Embodied Intimacy is an invitation to slow down and listen to how intimacy lives in the body — beyond performance, expectation, or fixed roles. We explore intimacy as a living, relational process shaped by dance, movement, sensation, curiosity, boundaries, and choice.

Through guided movement, simple somatic and consent practices, and moments of playful exploration, participants are supported to reconnect with pleasure as something that emerges when we feel safe enough to be present, responsive, and real.

 

This workshop is facilitated by Tamara and Ali, who bring together their shared passion for embodied practice, relational depth, and creative exploration. The island of Corfu brought us together, and it continues to inspire the creation of a space where intimacy, movement, and presence can unfold organically — in conversation with the land, the body, and one another.

Alison Pilling is a teacher, writer and mentor focused on helping people explore personal and erotic freedom. This important area is at heart a search for connection with self, other and spirit; opening us to emotions, values and limits through creative erotic expression. She started her sexuality journey midlife and has spent the last 10 years working with pioneering teachers like Betty Martin, Seani Love and Joseph Kramer. In love with the Wheel of Consent, she teaches on the UK Sexological Bodywork Training.

She moved to Corfu in 2023 and was delighted to meet Tamara, who shares the same geeky love of exploring the intersection of intimacy and creativity and dance.
In the UK, Ali is the creator and host of The Sex Lectures, a beautiful, permissive space for promoting sex-positive information and inspiration. Learning to experience pleasure and healing, with a focus on self-awareness, embodied consent and emotional intelligence, we broaden the variety of what we do to make connection clear and pleasure erotic.
