Whispers & Waves: A Subtle Sexual Salon

Schedule

Wed Mar 19 2025 at 06:00 pm to 08:30 pm

UTC-07:00

Location

Anam Cara Temple | Oakland, CA

A Night of Engaging Conversation, Deep Reflection, and Thoughtful Exploration
About this Event

Throughout history, salons have served as intimate gatherings where thinkers, artists, and seekers come together to discuss the ideas that move them. Whispers & Waves brings this tradition into the realm of subtle sexuality—where connection, attraction, and intimacy unfold in the space between words, in the art of anticipation, and in the gentle currents of presence.


This 2.5-hour salon is not a play party or an experiential touch-based event. It is a space for reflection, inquiry, and lively discussion, designed for those who are drawn to the quieter, slower, and more nuanced dimensions of intimacy.


Together, over tea and light refreshments, we will explore:

The nature of subtle sexuality—What is it? How does it show up in relationships, art, and daily life?
The role of attunement and anticipation—How does connection deepen when we slow down and pay attention?
How energy, presence, and nonverbal communication create intimacy—Moments of charged stillness, the almost touch, the weight of an unspoken invitation.
The beauty of tension and slowness—Why do we crave the build-up, and what happens when we let desire unfold naturally?
Others themes relating subtle sexuality and sex therapy



What to Expect

A True Salon Experience – Engaging discussions, open dialogue, and thought-provoking questions in a relaxed, welcoming space.
Guided Conversation & Reflection – Prompts and themes introduced by the facilitator to spark deep exploration.
A Warm, Inclusive Atmosphere – Tea, snacks, and comfortable seating for a night of meaningful exchange.
A Non-Touch, Discussion-Based Gathering – No play, no embodiment exercises—just conversation and connection through words, ideas, and shared insights.


Who is this for?

This salon is for you if:
🔹 You are curious about subtle sexuality and how it shapes attraction, intimacy, and connection.
🔹 You find deep pleasure in conversation and intellectual exploration.
🔹 You enjoy discussing themes of energy, presence, and nonverbal communication in relationships.
🔹 You want to expand your understanding of intimacy beyond conventional frameworks.
🔹 You are drawn to the idea of desire unfolding slowly, beautifully, and without urgency.


Whether you come alone or with a partner, this evening is an invitation to engage, reflect, and connect through dialogue and discovery.
