This Valentine’s weekend, let’s step beyond the roses, chocolates, and scripted romance. Instead, come home to what love truly feels like: a quiet, living pulse that starts inside your own body.

Join in a gentle deep dive into connection, radical presence, and embodied love—an invitation to soften your edges, slow your breath, and slip away from the usual clamour of hearts-and-flowers consumerism.

Here, love isn’t performed or purchased. It’s felt: in the warmth of your own skin, the steady rhythm of your heart, the soft animal aliveness of simply being here, now. It’s the courage to meet yourself with tenderness first, then to meet another from that same rooted, unguarded place.

Whether alone, with a beloved, or in quiet community, this is a weekend to honour love as a lived, somatic experience—one that asks us to listen deeply, touch intentionally, and rest in the simple miracle of presence.

Let the noise fade. Let your body remember what it already knows. Love begins here, in the soft interior—felt, breathed, and alive.

This is an experience that opens a doorway—one you carry with you far beyond Valentine’s Day.

Meet Your Hosts

Lynn Paterson of One Heart Tantra is one of the foremost Tantric professionals in the UK with over 25 years’ professional experience. Lynn is grounded in a trauma-informed approach shaped by both lived experience and professional practice. She brings over 30 years of personal healing, having engaged deeply in her own process of clearing trauma, conditioning, and embodied patterns. Through extensive experience receiving a wide range of healing modalities and bodywork, she has developed a nuanced understanding of how trauma lives in the body and unwinds safely. This depth is complemented by her professional background: she is trained in Trauma Release Exercises (TRE) and has worked as a professional care worker, supporting people with sensitivity, integrity, and respect for nervous system safety.

Aurelie Walker of Highland Faerie trained in Tantra massage and Tantric rituals with Lynn. Aurelie is a trauma-informed Tantric practitioner with a background in somatic practice, conscious touch, and relational work. Her approach is shaped by lived experience, long-term embodiment practices, and 5 years of holding space in both workshop and ceremonial settings. Kriya Yoga is a foundational somatic practice in Aurelie’s work, supporting breath awareness, presence, and nervous-system regulation. She has also held space with deep presence in ceremonial and expanded-state contexts, including plant medicine ceremonies. This has further strengthened her capacity to remain grounded, attuned, and responsive when strong emotions, sensations, or vulnerability arise. Facilitating Tantra workshops has refined Aurelie’s ability to hold consent-led, body-based spaces where choice, agency, and personal boundaries are honoured at all times.

Lynn is amazing at creating a safe and sacred space … I was so nervous about coming along, but when I realized that everyone else was too, I was able to relax and enjoy the experience. Never have I felt so honoured and loved as I did during this workshop. Thank you so much and I would definitely advise others who are feeling shy just to do it anyway!
