Winter Intimacy and Pleasure Workshop Series
Hosted by Ayssa Scipio |Social Worker, Psychotherapist & Sex Therapist
This Winter Intimacy Workshop Series is a spicy, feel-good 3-part series for couples, dyads, triads, and quads who want to turn up the connection - and the heat.
Let’s be real: sex, intimacy, pleasure, and desire don’t always flow effortlessly, especially when life gets full. Whether we're talking about the connection we have to ourselves, or the connection we have to those we're intimately involved with - these things can waver. We’ve got work, family, mismatched schedules, or just plain exhaustion - but that doesn’t mean the curiosity is gone. Sometimes, things just need a little shaping (and a few great tools) to get back into rhythm.
The series kicks off with the in-person Toronto-based event:
Naturally Connected – Rediscovering Intimacy
📍 Feb 9, 2026 | 6:00–7:30 PM | 257 Danforth Ave.
This cozy evening workshop is designed for couples, dyads, triads, and quads looking to bring more ease, warmth, and fun back into their intimate life. You’ll learn new ways to attune to your body, practice different forms of touch, and discover how to reconnect when life’s chaos has pulled you out of sync.
We’ll explore what happens when interest is there, but desire is low and how to move toward intimacy without pressure. Leave with practical tools to help you and your partner(s) feel naturally connected again, perfectly timed for Valentines day.
Also in the series:
Reclaiming Self-Pleasure as Self-Care (Feb 23 – Online)
A workshop just for women and femmes exploring self-touch, sensuality, and solo intimacy as a powerful act of wellness. Perfect for those wanting to break shame cycles and build a more embodied relationship with themselves. Reclaim your body just on time for Galentines Day.
Shedding Shame & Finding Peace in Intimacy (March 16 – Online)
This session supports all folks navigating self-consciousness, anxiety, or disconnection in sex. Together, we unpack internalized beliefs and cultivate emotional safety in sexual connection. We use the power of group witnessing to support us through this. In-person options to attend this workshop available upon request at welcome@ayssascipio.com.
