Webinar Details

One of the most complex things to navigate in a somatic sex education container is when, how and why to include psychological, physical and emotional intimacy. This is the intersection between a traditional sex education container and sex work. Weaving your heart and body into your practice with clients is a personal choice that can have a powerful impact on your clients, your own heart and those you are in a personal, physical or romantic relationship with. While this intimacy is not to be taken lightly, when it is thoughtfully included in SSE sessions, it can be powerful and transformative. Join somatic sex educators Pamela Madsen and Cosmo Meens as they discuss how they develop and hold a safe-enough SSE container with the inclusion of intimacy as a tool to serve their clients and the world.

He practices a consistent and daily engagement of truth, pleasure, alignment and joy and how to bring these element forward in all of his connections.

He is a spiritual and erotic being, and believes these two themes are deeply interconnected. He is committed to supporting people in finding their truth, pleasure and desire.
