The Slow Sex is a practice and a space for self-development with sex positive inclusivity. In the practice we connect and work beyond gender, race, personal preference and ability/disability. Every practice is as unique as the people who join and therefore we mindfully craft it to cater to the needs of the specific group.
SlowSex is a 3-hour in-person group experience to explore (and potentially) heal the way we relate and create a new culture of relating that is authentic, vulnerable, and healthy. In essence, relating is a form of art, and to become a master, we need to dedicate time and energy—we need to practice.

Within a clear structure, our trauma-informed facilitator Anneke van Bokhoven —supported by a trauma-informed space holder—guides you into deep intimacy with yourself first and foremost and whoever is front of you.
The aim is to empower you to become fully present so that you can get in touch with your truest desires, authentic boundaries, and ultimately powerful sexual energy. This way, our encounters, whether with a stranger, friend, or life-long partner can transform, and even heal.
This what you’ll potentially experience at the Slow Sex Practice:
- Recognising & breaking (unhealthy) patterns
- Deconditioning you sexual behavior
- Learning how to access our ‘full body yes’ and our ‘full body no’
- Setting and expressing boundaries compassionately (NVC) and honouring those of others
- Discovering what your desires are and expressing them
- Moving slowly without goal in mind
- Using communication as constructive tool
- Using your breath as guide and guardian
- Moving beyond the body to explore to energetic love, play and connection.
- Connecting from heart to heart
- Embracing vulnerability and rejection
- Freeing yourself (self-)judgement & shame
- Loads of fun, laughter, and of course, pleasure!
Even though the title contains the word sex, the focus is on SLOW—just to calm your nerves :). Only by slowing the F down, you can access and listen to your most hidden sexual desires and most authentic boundaries to build a healthy and loving relationship with your body—your sacred temple and portal to immense pleasure, joy & creativity.

🚪 ARRIVAL: We start and finish the Slow Sex Practice all together. Please, arrive 15 minutes before to give yourself time to settle in and we invite you to stay until the end.
👫 EXERCISES: After the guided meditation and breathwork to connect with yourself, we move into partner exercises, both energetic and hands-on. Each exercise is merely an invitation; you decide how far to go and can say 'no' anytime. You can explore variations and remove layers of clothes, yet we always keep underwear on. Create the experience that feels right for you in each moment.
You are empowered to create the experience that is appropriate for yourself in that moment with that person.
Overall, we’ll learn to sloooow down, fine-tune our (sexual) energy, and go on a deep journey into healing intimacy with yourself and others.
🦋 CLOSING: We collectively close the experience in a (sharing) circle.
👁 AFTER: Remember, the Slow Sex Practice is a transformative, eye-opening, and healing experience designed for those longing to create a different culture of deep intimacy and authentic relating. Everybody is encouraged to apply the provided tools beyond the context of sexuality, integrating them into everyday life. It can transform your relationship. It can transform your life.
