Self Pleasure Workshop

Self-Pleasure™ Workshop

A guided Embodied Practice in the tools of Presence & Self-Connection

Self-Pleasure™ is a specific somatic modality with its own method and its own set of tools, drawing on nervous system science and on what we know about how attention, breath, and touch change the way a body responds, so that the practice is as pleasurable as it is grounded in how bodies work.

This is a mixed workshop, open to all genders, bodies, and levels of experience, whether you’ve got a well-worn routine you’d like to expand or a vague sense that you’ve never really been introduced to your own body on its own terms. Self-pleasure tends to get treated as either a punchline or a problem to be solved, when it can be one of the most direct ways of finding out what you like, what you’ve been tolerating, and what changes when you pay attention.

What to expect

• An introduction to the Self-Pleasure™ tools, including how they work, why they work, and how to take them home with you

• Guided practices that build on each other, with time to ask questions as we go

• A self-pleasure circle, where everything is optional and you choose how much you share, practise, or simply witness

• Time to land, integrate, and leave with learning and pleasure you can use

About Your Hosts

TEMPLE EDEN is hosted by Nikkiema & Rachel, the founders of Eden Events.

Eden events create trauma-aware, consent-based spaces for embodiment, self-connection, and relational presence. With a grounded and inclusive approach, Eden retreats and gatherings invite women to reconnect with their bodies, inner authority, and lived experience in ways that are respectful, spacious, and deeply human.

Rachel (she/her) is a proud Aboriginal woman and trauma-informed psychotherapist, somatic sexologist, and tantrika who works at the intersection of science, spirituality, and sexuality. Living with disability, she brings deep lived experience to her work — honouring the intelligence of the body, the resilience of the nervous system, and the power of erotic expression as a pathway to healing.

With a background in Process-Oriented Psychotherapy, erotic embodiment, and nervous system science, Rachel supports individuals and couples to reconnect with their bodies, desires, and inner truth. Her approach integrates breath, movement, self-pleasure practices, and relational energetics — always grounded in compassion, consent, and respect for each person’s unique pace and story.

Rachel has facilitated immersive workshops and intimacy education, guiding people to return to pleasure, expand their emotional and erotic range, and feel more fully alive. She recently spoke internationally in the United States at a leading Sexual Health event, sharing her work on coming back to pleasure in the body, trauma-informed eroticism, and tantric pathways to aliveness.

Nikkiema (she/her) is a Somatic Sexologist drawn to shadow, sensuality, and embodied transformation. She guides individuals and groups to the edges of experience, holding sacred, consent-rooted spaces where curiosity and presence meet. Through her work, people are invited to reconnect with themselves and others, cultivating self-awareness, embodied aliveness, and a fluid understanding of desire, power, and intimacy.

Blending somatic practices, psychological insight, and the language of the body, Nikkiema illuminates unconscious patterns and supports people in stepping into a fuller, more conscious expression of who they are. She designs experiences that honour both vulnerability and strength, offering a safe space to explore tension, pleasure, and the subtleties of connection. Her approach is playful, provocative, and transformative, where growth is felt as much as understood, and presence becomes a doorway to profound personal insight and erotic freedom.

An Eden Event
The Self-Pleasure™ Workshop is a space to learn the tools of presence and self-connection, with time to ask questions, practice at your own pace, and take as much or as little from the circle as you want.
Nothing needs to be shared for it to count. Getting to know your own body in a held space can be just as potent as anything else on offer.
