Have you ever wondered if there’s a different way to do relationships? If maybe there’s more than just monogamy on offer? Perhaps you’ve heard of polyamory or open relationships and wondered what that’s all about. Learn more about the different relationship styles and the ethical ways people are practicing them.

Have you ever wanted to buy yourself a sex toy, but had no idea where to start? Too shy to walk into an adult store, or overwhelmed by options when you do? What’s the difference between a vibrator and a dildo? And what’s the appeal of a butt plug with a tail?!

Need to know your clove hitch from your bow line? A sheep shank from a sheet bend? Or even just a reef knot from a granny knot? Tighten up your skills and tie up the loose ends in your knotting knowledge.

Are you searching online for your perfect match? Setting up your online dating profile is easy, if you know how. This class will take you beyond the basics, using the power of ‘niche marketing’ to help you attract the people who are right for you. These days, it seems every single person has a profile on a dating website or app. But getting started can be tricky – from photos to bios, what sort of information does one need, to snag the perfect date?

Generally, most of us live with high stress, busy schedules, and we’re disconnected from ourselves and our bodies. Our mind runs the show. This affects our relationships, sexuality, creativity, and sense of self in the world.

Tantra provides a perfect antidote. It is essentially mindful sexuality. Tantra help us to anchor in the present moment, when we are fully present we open new pathways for pleasure and ecstasy. Sex is not seen as shameful, but as a way to connect on a deeper level with someone else and yourself.

Clear communication is essential for building fulfilling relationships. Communication breakdowns are often the start of conflict in relationships. In this workshop we will explore ways of reducing emotional reactivity, recognising and meeting unmet needs, resolving conflict with others, and improving communication in a variety of contexts and situations.

Always thought that being vulnerable was a bad thing? Maybe it isn’t…

Self driving cars have been the hot topic in recent times, with much speculation over what the world will look like when driving yourself around is a thing of the past. Some look forward to a future where driving is cheap, quick and easy, while others are sceptical about the safety and effectiveness of the technology and mourn the loss of the driving experience.

Why do some dogs tilt their heads when we talk to them? What’s that constant sniffing all about? Why does my dog yawn when I take its photo? Why do some dogs just not get along?

Dogs and humans have been living and working together for thousands of years. The relationships we build with dogs can be hugely beneficial to the wellbeing of both species. It can also be a source of stress, frustration and misunderstanding. Dogs are everywhere and we often think if something is familiar we must inherently understand it. This workshop will examine the myths around dog behaviour and teach you to see things from a canine point of view. It’s a fascinating world of scents, tail wags, woofs and play.
