At the edge of what we think we know about intimacy… there is a doorway.

And behind that doorway?
Fantasy.

Not as something to escape into—
but as a powerful, often misunderstood language of the psyche.

A language that, when listened to consciously, reveals truth, desire, shadow, longing… and ultimately, the deeper layers of who we are.

This year, we invite you into something truly special.
At Salon Ruigoord, we celebrate the book launch of Katjalisa, founder of the Slow Sex Movement, and the unveiling of her groundbreaking work:
𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙀𝙓𝙥𝙡𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙧 𝙈𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙙

A method developed and refined over years of guiding individuals and couples into the terrain of their inner worlds—using sexual fantasy as a portal to self-discovery, integration, and expansion.

Rooted deeply in the principles of Voice Dialogue, Katjalisa’s work invites us to meet the many inner voices that shape our desires, fears, boundaries, and longings. Rather than identifying with one fixed identity, we begin to recognize the rich ecosystem of parts within us—and learn how to move from an Aware Ego, where choice, clarity, and compassion become possible.
In this context, sexual fantasy is no longer random or superficial.
It becomes a direct expression of these inner parts—a living map of our psyche.

Through the SEXplorer Method, you’ll discover how to:
— listen to the voices behind your fantasies
— integrate polarities within yourself
— and access deeper layers of truth, power, and intimacy

This work is not only experiential—it is also grounded in academic inquiry.
The book you’ll be introduced to this evening forms the foundation of Katjalisa’s Master Thesis in Transformational Psychology, bridging embodied practice with psychological depth and research.
This evening is not just a presentation.
It is an initiation into a new way of relating.

Katjalisa will share the essence of her method—how fantasies, when met with awareness, can become a bridge:
from fragmentation to wholeness,
from performance to authenticity,
from conditioned desire to embodied truth.

You’ll witness how exploring fantasy consciously can:
— deepen intimacy in relationships
— expand your erotic spectrum
— and bring you closer to something profoundly alive… even sacred

Throughout the evening, selected SEXplorer journeys will be read out loud—raw, poetic, revealing.
A glimpse into the hidden worlds we carry within.
Accompanying this, a visual journey by photographer Jitske Hagens will stimulate the senses and open the imagination—bringing fantasy into form, into image, into felt experience.

And then…
we flow.
As the formal space softens, we transition into a celebratory party—and here, music becomes a central part of the journey.
We have the honour to welcome the fantastic DJ Reine together with the stunning musician Shai Peri, whose live violin weaves seamlessly through deep, sexy electronic sounds. What they create together is pure magic—an alchemy of rhythm and melody that speaks directly to the body.

At the bar, you’ll find:
— non-alcoholic drinks
— a variety of delicious cakes
— nourishing soup and fresh salad
(all available for cash)

There is also the option to purchase Mattie’s homemade microdosing chocolate (€10 per piece. cash only)—crafted to gently open the heart and deepen your experience of the evening.

All profits from this event go towards covering the production costs of this self-published book—a labor of love, devotion, and courage.

This is more than a book launch.
It is art as activism.
A step toward a new culture of relating—
one that is authentic, embodied, honest, and awake.
If you feel the pull…
you already know.
Welcome to the edge.
