Bodysex® Workshops

Bodysex® is a transformative and undefinable weekend long sex focused immersion for women, of all ages and sexual orientations, interested in the empowering freedom that comes from shedding the masks, roles and clothing that we hide behind everyday. This sex positive, nude workshop centers on body acceptance, letting go of shame, collective consciousness raising, creating sisterhood and celebrating self pleasure. Bodysex® is led by Natasha Salaash, who is trained as a Betty Dodson® certified Bodysex® facilitator, Trauma Informed Practitioner, Sex and Intimacy Counsellor, Breath worker, Sexual assault Crisis line support worker and Genital Dearmoring Practitioner. Her approach is present, grounded, skilled, practical and vulnerable as she not only holds space for the participants but is also a participant herself. Natasha’s style of facilitation is guided by her belief in the healing power of shared vulnerability and, with this as her principle, will not invite anyone to be vulnerable in a way that she is unwilling to go herself.

The two day workshop will include:

• Sacred circle where, in first person, we share how we feel about our bodies and our orgasms. This is the time to leave in the circle any shame that has been holding us back from fully celebrating our pleasure. Through this, the roots of sisterhood will begin forming as we accept each other for who we are. No more and no less.

• Group genital show and tell. This is a powerful and sacred ceremony where, with Natasha’s guidance and support, we display our vulva one at a time, identify all of the parts of our sexual anatomy and recognize the beauty and diversity amongst us. Each vulva is named and welcomed by all the women in the circle.

• Learn new methods to enhance our orgasms and our self loving practice. Understanding our sexual anatomy, how breath, movement, sound and our pc muscle work to enhance our pleasure on all levels. Teaching of the “window of tolerance” and how it creates a framework for our intimacy and how to transform it into a tool of self awareness and self-regulation to create the pleasure and intimacy that we desire. Participants will also learn tools to “come back to their body” during pleasure when our heads can mess things up.

• Guided touch meditation and self loving, side by side, in the circle during “erotic recess.” Sharing our own pleasure, without expectation, with other women can be one of the most powerful experiences that you will ever have. This is about learning to be our own lover, healing body shame, overcoming sexual guilt and sharing in sisterhood. This is also an opportunity for me to help support you, towards orgasm or increased pleasure if you have never orgasmed or are having difficulty and would like help.

• Group massage. This ancient practice is almost impossible to describe in words. It is a transcendent experience where we are able to give and receive loving, non sexual touch from the other women in the circle.

** Natasha is currently offering Bodysex® workshops by request only from women who have organized between 6-9 committed participants in any location around the world. If you are interested in inviting Natasha to facilitate a Bodysex® workshop in your area and have this number or less of participants, please contact her at natashasalaash21@gmail.com as there may be other women in your area who would be interested in attending or women willing to fly in.

Fee for Bodysex® workshops will be determined on a case by case basis and will depend on whether participants want a full retreat (accommodations and meals included) or simply a 2 day workshop. The organizers workshop fee would be waived in exchange for coordinating the participants and helping Natasha with local logistics involved in running the workshop/retreat.
