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

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.

embodied awareness

healthy erotic expression
relational repair and accountability

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.
