Discover the transformative power of Intimate Dancing: where flow, connection, and self-expression intertwine in a harmonious journey of self-discovery and shared love.

Intimate Dancing is a workshop where flow takes centre stage. The flow of your body, the flow of connection with others, the flow of music, the flow of emotions, the flow of experiences, the flow of life itself! We begin with a warm-up to arrive in the space and in your body. Then, we delve deeper into embodiment and boundaries. We work with intentions, therapeutic dance exercises, and progress towards guided free flow, allowing space for touch, dance, and/or meditation. We conclude with an optional sharing moment.

Through dance and intimate togetherness, you will get to know yourself and others better. Sometimes gentle, sometimes wild, sometimes loving, sometimes exuberant. Consent, trust, and safety are paramount in our interactions. We dance with respect for ourselves, each other, and everything around us. There is space to release tension, process emotions, and work through challenging parts. It is a space for coming together in unity.

Let yourself be guided. Unload and let go. Surrender. Slow down, grow, and flourish.

"What a wonderful experience, the intimate dancing. You did a great job. It felt like a warm and safe container. My initial fear was unnecessary. Words that I would like to add alongside feeling grounded are: energised, liberated, and self-love." – Inge

DANCING FOR PEACE
On Armistice Day, we gather to celebrate the healing power of dance and connection. A portion of your ticket will go directly to peace initiatives and activism. We believe all beings deserve to experience what we create here together.

START WHERE YOU ARE
If this event feels too intense for you, Feeling Your Yes is a gentler entry point. A monthly gathering focused on consent, boundaries, and nervous system awareness. We're also available for individual sessions if you'd like to build confidence before joining the group.

OUR GATHERING IS AN ACT OF COLLECTIVE POWER AND HEALING
This is personal AND collective work. We cultivate awareness of our own intuition, boundaries, and nervous system and we do it together. In a world that disconnects us from our bodies and silences our voices, this gathering is an act of collective power and healing.

WHAT WE COMMIT TO
This is a trauma-informed, consent-based space. I facilitate with awareness of how trauma lives in our bodies, and I create structures for safety, choice, and agency. I'm also continuously learning and open to feedback.

WHAT WE ASK OF YOU
You know yourself best. You are the expert of your own body and boundaries. Please honour what feels true for you. That might mean stepping back, taking a break, or leaving. There is no shame in that. If something doesn't feel right, please let me or a spaceholder know. You are responsible for your own wellbeing.

OUR SHARED COMMITMENT
Healing isn't linear. Sometimes what we need includes discomfort, vulnerability, and working at our edges. We work together with intention, care, and honesty, and we meet each other with accountability when things go sideways.

ACCESSIBILITY & INCLUSION
This workshop is LGBTQI+ and BIPOC friendly and welcomes neurodivergent people. Everyone can participate, even if you have a disability or are ill.

Newcomers are welcome if you're curious and reasonably grounded. If you'd like a gentler foundation first, Feeling Your Yes (monthly) is designed as an accessible entry point. If you're working through significant vulnerability, grief, or trauma right now, individual sessions help you build capacity before group work.

I'm committed to listening to your needs and exploring what's possible together. Early communication helps us prepare well, and I'm honest about our limits. If you're able to bring additional support for yourself, whether that's a trusted friend, professional assistant, grounding tools, or specific practices, that helps us create sustainable space for everyone.

INTIMACY LEVELS
True Intimacy workshops are predominantly white: conscious, caring touch above the clothes, we stay away from ero.tic energy. Most offerings are clothed.

ABOUT PIERO
Piero uses no pronouns and considers themselves polysensual, pancurious, genderqueer, justice seeker and mystic lover. Piero lives and works in Ghent as a trauma-informed and body-oriented intimacy coach, (cuddle) workshop facilitator and embodied changemaker.

Piero creates a safe, warm and stimulating group environment that invites transformation and healing. Piero wants to inspire people to experience intimacy more consciously and, together, to eliminate taboos, blockades, violence and traumas. Piero dreams of a world in which self-care and self-actualization go hand in hand with love, justice, equality and solidarity.

"I recognise my own privileges and traumas from the past and present and am aware of how they may hurt or disadvantage people. Like everyone else, I have blind spots and am open to feedback, self-reflection and reconciliation. With my life experience I am building a safe, transformational and connective space where you can feel home." Piero Flor
