A playful new Intimacy Jam event

Holding the Inner Child

This is an invitation to step into a playful, innocent version of yourself. One that is less self-conscious and less judgemental. Let pure curiosity guide your exploration of connection.

Allow the child you were to be embraced, or explore a childhood you wish you’d had.

How would you express yourself?

How would you play with others?

What would you need?

How would it feel to receive it now?

An Intimacy Jam Event

At its heart, Intimacy Jam is about exploring new ways of relating, in ways that honor our humanity, our nervous systems, and our need for connection. This is a space to be fully yourself, to experience joy and embodiment, and to co-create a culture of care and belonging, one interaction at a time.

Come as you are. You are welcome here.

This is a space for authentic connection, pleasure, and transformation. Slow down, tune into your body, and engage with others in ways that feel nourishing, safe, and joyful. You are invited to explore without pressure or expectation. Each gathering is a co-created experience, a jam, shaped by the unique mix of people present.

We begin with a welcome circle, setting a foundation of clarity, safety, and care.

Through guided, embodied connection practices, we connect with ourselves, our needs, and our desires. We practice communication and consent skills and explore relational dynamics in a structured, trauma-aware environment. Here, we build trust, welcome vulnerability, and enjoy authentic, embodied connection.

Next, we gather to share food and conversation, nourishing both body and spirit.

Finally, we transition into the free-flow Intimacy Jam—a space where each person follows their curiosity and inner rhythm. This is a time for organic, self-directed connection. Cuddle, exchange massage, dance, sing, or play. Rest, witness, or take space for self-reflection. Simply be present with yourself, connect deeply with another, or dive into the cuddle puddle. There is no script, no expectations—only invitations to connect in ways that feel good and expansive to you.

Consent is our foundation. Every interaction is an invitation, and honoring boundaries—both our own and others’—is an essential act of care. "No" is welcomed and celebrated, as is the choice to take space. The entire experience is clothed and non-sexual, ensuring an environment where safety, comfort, and respect are prioritized.

Agreements and Safer Space

Confidentiality I will not share about other participants and their experiences without their consent

Self Care and Authenticity I will care for my own needs and boundaries, and express my No’s and Yes’s as clearly as I can

Care for Others and Consent I will care for others needs and boundaries, including seeking consent before acting, celebrating no's, and checking in. If needed I will apologize and repair

Sober, non-sexual space I understand this is a sober, non-sexual space, and I will lean away from sexual charge if it arises

We are committed to creating the safest environments we can. Our events are trauma aware. If you have any specific safety or wellbeing needs, please let us know in advance. If you experience anything that feels unsafe, or know about someone in attendance who has caused harm to others, we want to know! Please share your concerns with us.

We stand with survivors. Some participants have a history of relational or touch-based trauma that they are working on healing at these events.

We also support personal growth. Where possible, we want to support individuals with a history of causing harm who are actively working to improve their behaviours. We can work together to establish clear boundaries and expectations in the space. Individuals who cause harm and/or take no accountability are not welcome at these events.

Please do communicate about any safety and safeguarding issues! We value and welcome clear, honest communication.

Accessibility and Inclusion

People of any ethnicity, cultural background, class, age, sex, gender, sexual orientation, relationship structure, body type, physical ability, neurodiversity etc. are welcome at Intimacy Jams! Let's be human together.

A large portion of participants are neurodiverse. The clarity and structure in this environment works well for many flavours of neurospiciness.

The Gasworks Studio has a single step at the front door, and step-free access through the back. There is an accessible toilet. All activities are adaptible to different access needs: the instructions themselves are flexible, there is a culture of participating in ways that work for you, and participants are very open to accomodating each others' needs.

If price is a barrier, please get in touch.

Tickets

We do not offer refunds. If you cannot attend due to illness, you may transfer your ticket to a future date. You may also resell your ticket.
