What This Workshop Is About

The Art of Touching Women is a trauma-aware, consent-centered conversation for men exploring how touch, presence, and attunement shape women’s lived experience of safety, intimacy, and desire.

This workshop is not about techniques or “how-to moves.”
It’s about how men show up in their bodies, how that is perceived by women, and why this matters deeply—for relationships, intimacy, and healing gender harm.

The workshop creates a grounded, non-shaming space where men can:

  • Understand how their touch is received

  • Recognize the impact of hypervigilance and trauma

  • Learn to lead with presence instead of performance

  • Take responsibility without collapsing into guilt or defensiveness

Why Podcast Hosts Invite This Conversation

This topic consistently resonates because it speaks to:

  • Men who want to be good partners but don’t know what they’re missing

  • Women’s unspoken experiences of unwanted or misattuned touch

  • The gap between “nice guy” behavior and erotic presence

  • Cultural conversations around consent, safety, and intimacy—without polarization

This workshop is designed to meet men where they are, while still telling the deeper truth about how women experience men’s bodies, energy, and attention.

Who This Is For

Ideal podcast audiences include:

  • Men interested in relationships, intimacy, and personal growth

  • Couples navigating desire, trust, or polarity

  • Coaches, therapists, bodyworkers, and facilitators

  • Audiences engaging with masculinity, consent, trauma, or embodiment

This is NOT explicit sexual content.
It is educational, relational, and trauma-informed.

What Men Learn in the Workshop

1. Why Safety Comes Before Skill

Men learn why women often arrive in a state of hypervigilance—and how safety, not technique, is the gateway to intimacy and desire.

2. The Difference Between Service and Presence

Many men default to “trying to do it right.”
This workshop explores how performance anxiety and over-serving actually disconnect men from authentic erotic leadership.

3. How Unwanted Touch Affects Everyone

The workshop names the shared emotional terrain beneath unwanted touch:

  • fear

  • shame

  • rejection

  • inadequacy

…and how unprocessed experiences live on in the nervous system.

4. Consent as a Living Conversation

Consent is framed not as a rule set, but as ongoing listening—to partners, to the body, and to one’s own internal signals.

5. Interoception, Neuroception & Attunement

Men are introduced to simple frameworks for sensing:

  • what they feel

  • what others may be feeling

  • when to slow down, pause, or deepen

6. Touch as Listening

Participants experience and practice a guided self-touch exercise (inspired by Havening principles), using the frame:

“Show me how. Tell me when.”

Tone & Facilitation Style

  • Calm, grounded, non-shaming

  • Trauma-aware and consent-forward

  • Honest about men’s impact without demonizing men

  • Rooted in lived experience from immersive retreat work

  • Inclusive of diverse gender identities while addressing heterosexual dynamics directly

About the Facilitators

Cosmo

Somatic sex educator and facilitator working primarily with women’s bodies in retreat and therapeutic contexts.

Why This Matters (The Bigger Picture)

This work directly addresses:

  • Gender-based harm and men’s accountability

  • Women’s safety in intimate and professional touch spaces

  • Men’s mental health, shame, and relational isolation

  • The longing for both safety and passion in modern relationships

The workshop acts as a seed—opening awareness and offering men a responsible next step rather than leaving them overwhelmed or defensive.

Bio’s

Cosmo and Casia met in 2017 at their Somatic Sex Educator training. Casia was already an active Sex Educator living in Toronto for 10 years and Cosmo was transitioning from being a professional chef to a professional erotic bodyworker.

Cosmo has spent the past 8 years doing immersive retreats for women with Back to the Body: working with hundreds of different bodies repetitively in a container held by women.

Casia works intimately with men to support them in discovering their erotic integrity. Together they developed the Himeros Project to work with men in an immersive container.

Together they hold a powerful and unique perspective into the lives and bodies of both masculine and feminine erotic energies.

Cosmo and Casia have been deeply committed to working with people in a triadic model since their training and are enthusiastic to bring this new, and extremely important, embodied understanding of how to touch and interact with women to the public.
