For Women's Day, we wanted to talk about something that's often overlooked in our society – taking care of ourselves. We're often taught to prioritize others, even at the price of sacrificing our own wellbeing.
Exploring our bodies as form of self-care
One way to take care of ourselves is by exploring our own bodies and owning our sensuality. This act of self-love is not only empowering, but it's also a way to push back against societal taboos that have long held us back. And what better way to do that than with the help of some expert guidance and a little bit of luxury?
Soho House Amsterdam x The Oh Collective
We had the pleasure of launching our Turn Me On & Rub Me Tender, our massage candle with gua sha stones, in collaboration with Soho House Amsterdam and our dear friend and Shibari artist, hua hua. The event was a beautiful afternoon filled with women opening up and discovering the sensuality of touch, ropes, candles with heat, blindfolds, and different sensory plays. It was an act of self-love that left us feeling empowered, connected, and ready to take on the world.
Shibari insights for better self-care
hua hua showed us how to explore and get to know each other by sharing feedback after each tie. She emphasized the importance of taking our time and checking in with ourselves and our partner's comfort levels. By surrendering to the experience, we were able to explore our deep emotions and desires. The sensations of the ropes, the warmth of the candle, and the connection with each other all combined to create a unique and intimate experience that left us feeling relaxed and satisfied.
Self care isn't selfish
This joint workshop with Soho House Amsterdam was a beautiful display of vulnerability, trust, and connection. It reminded us to take time to explore and left us with a greater sense of connection to others. Self-care isn't selfish; it's necessary to be the best communicator or partner and can lead to new and exciting experiences and deeper connections.
