      <image:title>Welcome</image:title>
      <image:caption>My name is Lauren and I believe whole-heartedly that our bodies offer a pathway to our Truths, our Knowing, and our own inner wisdom. I have experienced first-hand the alchemy and magic that is possible when we are safely guided inside of ourselves, back home. I also know first hand how incredibly scary, uncomfortable and outright terrifying it can feel to be inside of a body, especially one that carries pain and has been harmed, neglected, or abused. With my personal experience, along with my training as a Somatic Sex Educator and Sexological Bodyworker, it is my deepest pleasure to be able to share this practice with you. Through embodiment and pleasure-oriented experiences, The Body Erotic offers support to anyone looking to reclaim their body and their divine right to pleasure, joy, and fulfillment.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Workshops - In-Person Class @Dancing Grounds New Orleans</image:title>
      <image:caption>Sundays 4-6 pm November 27th - Dec 18th We will be playing with mooovement in the broadest sense of the word. Movement in tiny dances, slow motion, in the eyes, in touch, in breath, in our energetic &amp; emotional bodies… It’s an invitation for co-created brave space…space where you can self &amp; co-regulate, space where you can take space  We will play with the senses &amp; get weird for pleasure. There will be sooo much room to say “no” &amp; participate as much or as little as you want. We will explore pleasure &amp; perhaps anything that gets in the way of it. Classes will build on one another but you can come drop in anytime. $10-20 for BIPOC folks. Everyone else $20-40 Free for Dancing Grounds SOAR members &amp; 20% off for LEAP &amp; STEP members</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Earth may be our biggest teacher in understanding the phenomena of the life-death-life cycle. She is forever decomposing and regenerating herself as a multi organism of bacteria that forms new life and new meaning as she decays the old. Similarly, as humans, we experience birth and rebirth in every breath we take by the oxidation (death) and oxygenation (life) that occur in our bodies as we breathe. Can we integrate this continuous cascade of events in our bodies, minds and spirits? Can we continue to look to our Great Mother Earth for ways to expand into the teachings of death, dying, and rebirth?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Workshops</image:title>
      <image:caption>Together, we will dive into the basics of cultivating a pleasure practice that works for you; at your own pace, in your own special way. We will practice meeting your erotic self, greeting them, and seeing how they would like to be nourished and cared for. We will expand our notion of The Erotic, what can be pleasurable, and what we think we deserve. Consider it a date with yourself, supported by a community of others dedicated to their own journey of self-pleasure.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - Welcome!</image:title>
      <image:caption>My name is Lauren and I believe whole-heartedly that our bodies offer a pathway to our Truths, our Knowing, and our own inner wisdom. I have experienced first-hand the alchemy and magic that is possible when we are safely guided inside of ourselves, back home. I also know first hand how incredibly scary, uncomfortable and outright terrifying it can feel to be inside of a body, especially one that has been harmed, neglected, or abused. With my personal experience, along with my training as a Somatic Sex Educator and Sexological Bodyworker, it is my deepest pleasure to be able to share this practice with you.</image:caption>

      <image:title>What is Somatic Sex Education? - What is Somatic Sex Education?</image:title>
      <image:caption>What is Somatic Sex Education? Teaching thru the body experiences designed to nurture, deepen, or awaken the sensual self. It can include breath coaching, movement, body awareness, boundary-setting, communication, anatomy, sensate focus, massage, erotic trance, and other body-based teachings about sex. The Institute for the Study of Somatic Sexology is  in the lineage of Joseph Kramer and the Body Electric in San Francisco,  which was founded in response to the AIDS crisis in the 80s when people  were looking for safer ways to experience eroticism. My  teachers have evolved the work to include in-depth teachings of the  nervous system, somatic awareness, empowered voice and choice, consent,  sexual rights and freedom, analysis of power and oppression, conscious  communication, and ecstatic embodiment - to name the big ones. One on one sessions are completely  client-directed and client-specific. These sessions can provide tools  and resources to heal our bodies, minds, and spirits in a variety of  ways, including the ability to access and identify more pleasure and  feel empowered to enact our desires.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Meet Lauren - Welcome, I’m so glad you are here.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I know, with every cell in my body, that I am here for this work. I have been born into a body that has sought to reclaim my eroticism since my youth, since it was first taken from me by abusers, since it was first punished by teachers, shamed by peers, and repressed by my own trauma. My journey to reclaim my eroticism, my power, my connection to pleasure began in 2012 in a desperate attempt to heal and have my life back.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Meet Lauren</image:title>
      <image:caption>When I found the practice of Somatic Sex Education, I began to access true and deep pleasure in my body, possibly for the first time ever. I also touched into the darkest parts of myself, healing wounds that could finally be accessed - through pleasure. I began to awaken an ecstatic aliveness, full-bodied orgasms, deeper connection to myself, my partners, and others, and a sense of wholeness that I had been longing for.</image:caption>

      <image:title>FAQ - What will happen in a Somatic Sex Education session?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Each session is unique to you. Before we meet, I will provide you with an intake form to assess your needs and goals, which will help me tailor sessions to you. It will also help us decide if we are a good fit for each other. We will “move at the speed of trust”, as adrienne maree brown advises. Often the first session is just about getting a sense of your own relationship to your body, emotions, and how much access to voicing your needs and desires you have. We will continue to build somatic attunement, allying our nervous systems with each other and building trust on a felt level. After our first session I will design a specific-to-you session arc: a series that will help you meet your goals and intentions. From there, you can decide at what speed we move and when. Many sessions do not include touch at all, but the mere possibility of it can unblock the barriers to giving and receiving touch freely. For sessions where touch is explored, you will be in charge every step of the way. This can be a profoundly healing process and become a pathway to becoming empowered in your own erotic life.

Start here and then check in with the question Am I ready for a session? Being unsure is a totally fine response. Notice if there is excitement alongside the fear when even considering booking an introductory session.</image:caption>
