About this Event

Reclaim Your Brain: The Science of Attraction, Desire, and Connection

Join local sexuality educator Katarina Hoskins for an engaging, accessible workshop exploring what’s actually happening in your brain and body when we feel attraction, desire, bonding, disconnection, or sudden sparks we didn’t expect.

Together, we’ll break down the key neurochemicals and hormonal shifts that shape intimacy — including dopamine, oxytocin, and more — and how they influence long-term relationships, desire discrepancy, emotional closeness, and sexual connection over time.

Ever wonder:

  • Why desire fades in long-term partnerships — and how it can be rebuilt
  • Why dopamine feels so intoxicating… and when it might lead us down unhealthy paths
  • What to make of butterflies, crushes, or urges to cheat “out of nowhere”
  • How to tell the difference between novelty, attachment, lust, and sustainable connection

This workshop will help you understand the why behind these experiences — and how to work with your brain instead of feeling ruled by it.

We’ll also explore practical, realistic ways to:

  • Rebuild intimacy when connection has faded
  • Recognize healthy vs. unhealthy attraction patterns
  • Use this knowledge to deepen pleasure, connection, and trust
  • Feel more empowered and intentional in your relationships and sex life

Come with a partner, a friend, or on your own.
Whether you’re single, partnered, monogamous, non-monogamous, curious, or simply wanting to understand yourself better — Reclaim Your Brain offers insight, compassion, and tools you can actually use.
