Summit: Embodying Love & Relationships
Body-based practices for sex, friendship, and the many forms of love
Comprehensive Curriculum
Welcome & Meditation
Dr. Scott Lyons · 30-minute experiential session
An opening meditation and welcome to set the tone for a day exploring the embodied spectrum of love.
Session 1 — Mindfulness for Mind-Blowing Sex
Jessica Graham · 75-minute experiential session
Mindful sex invites you to release anxiety and insecurity and drop into a deeply embodied experience of pleasure and connection. A down-to-earth, trauma-informed workshop offering mindfulness tools to support the sex life you want and deserve. Welcoming to all gender expressions, sexual orientations, and relationship styles.
Session 2 — Embodied Love
Roger Kuhn · 75-minute experiential session
When you think about love, how does it feel in your body? Do you see love as purely romantic, or are you open to the many ways love can be expressed? Through somatic inquiry and emotional processing, examine the concept of embodied love — deeply connecting with the people, places, and ideas that inspire you to live your best life.
Session 3 — Love as a Spectrum
Sophie Lucido Johnson · 75-minute experiential session
We understand gender and sexuality as spectrums — but what about love itself? Explore how friendship-love compares to familial love, how romantic love differs from sexual attraction, what it means to love more than one person, and what we can learn from people who love differently than we do. Includes a look at mononormativity, chosen family, and common myths about how love is "supposed" to look.
Session 4 — Relationship Justice: Navigating Harm and Accountability in Friendship and Love
Jan Dworkin · 75-minute experiential session
It's common to feel wounded in relationships — and equally common to be accused of causing harm, especially across lines of nationality, race, class, age, religion, ability, and culture. Jan offers an intersectional framework for understanding rank and power, with practical tips for becoming more aware and accountable about the impact of our power on others.
Session 5 — Loving Yourself from the Inside Out: Somatic Self-Compassion, Interoception, and Setting Boundaries
Kristy Arbon · 75-minute experiential session
Higher interoception (body awareness) correlates with greater emotional resilience. Learn to read the body's stress signals, connect them with your values, and identify what your body needs. From there, adapt to difficult situations and set boundaries — all done in a trauma-informed way with deep self-compassion.
