The Intimacy Cafe - Open Relationships
A monthly gathering for open, honest conversations about intimacy and sexuality.
In a fast-paced world and especially in an international city, where people come and go, it can be hard to find the kind of deep, meaningful conversations we truly long for.
We scroll, connect, and date, yet many of us still feel a quiet sense of disconnection from ourselves and from others.
Sex and intimacy are everywhere, and seemingly everything is allowed. Yet many people feel confused about what they actually want, what feels right for them, or how to talk about it.
Between the pressure to be “liberal and open” and the fear of being judged or too much, it’s easy to feel lost.
The Intimacy Cafe is a monthly space to slow down and talk about these things — honestly, without shame or pretence.
Together we explore themes around intimacy, sexuality, relationships, and connection. Each session includes a short guided reflection, a few gentle prompts, and open sharing. You’re welcome to speak or simply listen.
This month, the theme of the Intimacy Café is Open Relationships & Ethical Non-Monogamy. In my practice, I mostly accompany couples as they navigate the journey of non-monogamy, exploring the relationship structure that truly suits them. With this Intimacy Café, I hope to bring together people who share an interest in this topic, because it can sometimes be a lonely path when you're one of the few people in your surroundings exploring it. This Intimacy Café is for anyone interested in open relationships, polyamory, or ethical non-monogamy. Whether you're well along your journey, just starting to explore, or simply curious, you're very welcome to join. Come ask questions, share experiences, and connect with others in an open and welcoming space.
Come as you are — curious, unsure, reflective, or just wanting to connect.
You might leave feeling a little lighter, more seen, and reminded that you’re not alone.

Let’s talk about intimacy — because connection starts with conversation.
“A place where something is allowed to start moving. Where words slowly begin to take shape. Where people, even if only for a moment, feel less alone in what they are experiencing. And perhaps that is enough.”
