Esther will be taking us on a journey of s3xual assault, of power taken and of power reclaimed. The story she will tell talks about the society we live in and the system failures. The themes are dark and vulnerable and may be triggering for those with their own experience.

Esther is a trauma and family violence therapist, a s3x and embodiment coach and a s3x and relationship therapist.

At OUTSPOKEN, we intentionally invite stories and topics that might feel a bit edgy… things that “nice” society tends to avoid or sweep under the rug. But here’s the thing: avoiding these conversations doesn’t make them go away. In fact, silence often keeps us stuck.

By shining light on the messy, raw, and uncomfortable truths, whether it’s about grief, shame, ageing, body image, addiction, mental health, s3xually explicit experiences, s3xual assault or confronting systemic injustice, we create space for reflection, change, growth and healing.

That said, some of the content shared may be triggering. We will give clear trigger and content warnings before each performance so you can make the call to step out or take space if needed.

And if something comes up for you during the night, we’ve got you. The amazing Marania will be with us as our emotional support space holder. Marania is a powerful presence, an embodiment facilitator, ritual creatrix, and somatic bodyworker who holds space with deep care and wisdom.

02/03/2025

In the spirit of OUTSPOKEN, where we bring the unspoken into the light, I have started peeling back the layers and revealing what hides behind some of my masks. The parts of me I’ve kept tucked away out of shame.

So here’s the second one: INCAPABLE. DISORGANISED. IRRESPONSIBLE. LAZY.

Incapable, disorganised, irresponsible, lazy… these are words I’ve carried, words that have kept me stuck, feeling like a child, a teenager, a broken maiden. But as I step deeper into my role at Giddy Garden, helping to build a community where people feel nurtured, seen, heard, and loved for exactly who they are, gently supported as they step into their truest selves, I feel an undeniable pull toward embodying the mother archetype.

Yet with each step into this wiser, grounded version of myself, I feel exposed. The old voices creep in: You’re too incapable, too disorganised, too irresponsible, too lazy to hold space, to nurture, to create, to birth something meaningful. My wounded maiden resists and self sabotages, fearing that stepping into the mother archetype means losing her playfulness, becoming bored or boring. She kicks, she screams, she sabotages. But I hear her. I let her feel it. And I show her that it’s safe.

I am ready for this. Ready to hold space with unconditional, fierce, embodied love. Ready to share my wisdom and offer grounded support to every person who steps into the Giddy Garden container. I can’t keep holding myself back. These words, these old stories, no longer have the same grip on me. I can feel them, acknowledge them, and still step forward into the mother archetype... stepping into service, into creation, into this support role.

This next workshop is so beautifully potent...

Workshop: T@ntric Breathwork
Facilitators: Lif and Ryan

Lif and Ryan are relationship nerds who get off on rolling around in all the fascinating subtleties of what it is to connect consciously and energetically with others in deep, juicy, playful and embodied ways. They decided to become breathwork facilitators to share some of the yummy, profound, and s3xy experiences they have discovered on their journey into the worlds of k!nk, classical and neo t@ntra, and conscious relating.

They can’t wait to create an inclusive and nourishing space for you to express yourself freely as you explore the Bindu Breath Awakening Journey. This method is unique as it combines traditional t@ntric yogic principles with modern breathwork techniques. Using breath, sound and movement, the focus is on embodying both our divinity and our humanity.

You’ll be guided through three bindu's, otherwise known as energy centers: the Upper Bindu, igniting transcendence and awareness; the Heart Bindu, opening you to emotional connection, compassion, and love; and the Lower Bindu, anchoring you in your physicality and s3nsuality.

The invitation is to explore these centres as a way to generate more aliveness and enjoyment of life, awaken your s3nsuality, release stored emotional blockages, complete stress cycles and reconnect you with your innermost desires.

Participants share that they experience profound realizations, deep self-acceptance, unconditional love, ecstatic bliss, full body energy org@sms and other beautiful things in these sessions.
