How is Touching Desire a "tantric" practice and different from massage?
In a traditional massage, we recline on the table and receive, entranced. Touching Desire (Level 1) includes interactive elements such as eye contact, communication, breath awareness, sensory play, and energy movement along with touching the whole body.

Get more of what you want and discover new and a wider range of pleasure. Come away with lifelong tools to increase intimacy and connection with yourself and others.

Who Is This For?
Touching Desire (Level 1): The Art of Pleasure for Couples is designed for people who are ready for more aliveness, love, and consciousness in their relationships and intimate partnerships.
This exploration of desire through touch is for everyone regardless of how easily you feel desire. These practices support you in knowing what is pleasurable and how to feel more with your entirety.

Open to everyone. No previous experience necessary!
All genders, orientations, and relationship configurations are welcome. You may work together exclusively during the workshop or with others if they wish.

— Hayley Higgins

"You may feel that this is out of your comfort zone. You may feel apprehension, fear, and anxiety, and yet, if you trust you will be met with the most beautiful container, the most safe space to lean into, and experience a part of yourself that perhaps you had lost or did not know was there. You are in good hands with Sara and SatchiJo (Thomas)!"
