Melbourne Queer & Lesbian Events

Intimate is a Connection Circle for ALL Queer and Lesbian women and non-binary babes centred around fostering a deeper connection with yourself & others

It is an opportunity for you to learn and participate in guided solo and group somatic and embodiment practices, to support you in learning how to effectively listen, connect and communicate with your own body, and meet other like-minded individuals on a similar journey to you.

This circle is a blend of a traditional women’s circle, mixed with neo-tantric practices to allow for greater intimacy and self-connection, but created for queer and lesbian women & non-binary humans only to create a safe and nurturing space.

  • “Caitlin is so warm and welcoming, she immediately makes you feel comfortable. As a queer woman herself she creates a uniquely communal and intimate space for queer women to connect with themselves and others. I've been in many queer spaces over the years, but never experienced anything like it before.

    From just one guided practice I have made more progress in healing and understanding myself than I have in many years of psychology sessions. Don't get me wrong, psychologists and counsellors have certainly helped me incredibly, but I had reached a point where the intellectual work had taken me as far in my journey as it could. I needed to connect with my body, and Intimate helped me do that.

    It was really wonderful and profound, and I am looking forward to more. I would recommend any sapphic women who crave building real, deep connection with themselves and their community to come to Caitlin's events.
    ~ Nina

  • “I came in to the connected event feeling nervous and a bit closed off. Caitlin masterfully guided us through progressive connection and intimacy activities that allowed us to open up to ourselves and others.

    This session was really beautiful and taught me many things about my inner world and connection to others. I would highly recommend Caitlin’s work so any Queer person looking to deepen all sorts of connection.

    I’ve left this session with people who will hopefully become friends and perhaps lovers.”
    ~ Ellen

  • ““Caitlin created a safe space that allowed us to practice heart-centered interactions to improve our intimacy skills that did not involve sex.

    I think it’s a valuable workshop for anyone who wants to enhance their ability to connect to themselves and others through an embodied practice.”

    ~ Angela

  • “Connected is a safe inclusive warm space

    Coming into the space nervous and not knowing what to expect leaving feeling happy care for and my cup was full

    Caitlin the facilitator is welcoming warm open and supportive

    Caitlin has created a beautiful space for people to connect beyond connected as well

    I feel like I’ve found my people.”

    ~ Taya

  • “I was encouraged to attend this event by a friend and I was unsure what it would involve. I could not have loved it more. Caitlin created a very intimate but safe space for us to connect.

    So many people are touch and connection deprived and this space offered both in a safe way. There are too few ways to really drop the mask and connect without being explicitly sexual - Caitlin's workshop is one of those ways.

    It will stay with me for a long time. I highly recommend Caitlin's workshops for anyone who wants to really find a heart connection with themselves and others.”
    ~ Nelly
