Connection & Communication Games (San Gabriel Valley Edition)

Discover new ways to listen, express, and connect, with your partner or a friend.

https://donavonlerman.com/events/ccg_cgv/

Discover new ways to listen, express, and connect — with your partner, friend, or anyone you feel comfortable practicing with.

Are you ready to explore what happens when communication becomes play?What might you discover if you slowed down and truly listened?

Many of us long for deeper connection but find ourselves repeating old patterns of misunderstanding, overthinking, or disconnection. Especially around touch, communication, and desire. We’ve been taught to talk about connection more than we actually practice it.

This workshop offers an inclusive, welcoming space to move beyond words and into direct experience. It’s designed for anyone who wants to explore giving and receiving with greater clarity, ease, and authenticity. Whether partnered or with friends, queer or straight, experienced or brand new. Together, we’ll step towards replacing confusion and hesitation with curiosity, confidence, and play.

You’ll explore playful communication and connection games rooted in the Wheel of Consent and Somatic Education. Experiential, body-based learning models that use consent-based exercises to build awareness, confidence, and relational skill.(This is an experiential education workshop, not therapy. It complements but does not replace therapeutic or clinical work.)

Through guided practices, you’ll experiment with giving and receiving, saying “yes,” “no,” “maybe,” and “I don’t know” with confidence, and discovering new ways to relate beyond words alone.

Whether you’re looking to deepen intimacy, strengthen trust, or simply share a meaningful and playful experience, this workshop provides a safe, supportive, and inclusive space for connection to flourish.

** No prior experience required **

About Your Facilitators

Donavon

Donavon is a Somatic Sex Educator (in training), facilitator, and creative dedicated to helping people reconnect with their natural sense of aliveness and embodied connection. (Somatic Sex Education is a professional, educational field focused on embodied learning and consent-based exploration — not psychotherapy or sex therapy.)

With over a decade of experience in embodiment, intimacy education, and conscious connection, Donavon creates spaces that blend depth, laughter, and genuine human warmth. His work draws from Somatic Sex Education, the Wheel of Consent, and Classical & Neo-Tantra as pathways to greater aliveness, choice, and self-acceptance.

Donavon believes that play, curiosity, and presence are gateways to transformation — and that every “yes,” “no,” “maybe,” and “I don’t know” can open new levels of freedom, connection, and pleasure. Whether working with individuals, couples, or groups, Donavon brings a steady, welcoming presence that invites exploration at your own pace — always grounded in consent, inclusion, and a touch of mischief.
