Slow Burn ~ Mastering the Art of Almost Kissing

A Valentine's Day Party for Those Who Know the Best Things Take Time

There's something almost unbearable about the moment before a kiss. That delicious ache where breath mingles, eyes lock, and the whole world narrows to the space between skin.

What if you stayed there?

Slow Burn is your invitation to explore the electricity of anticipation—the art of almost. A Valentine's evening where we trade instant gratification for something far more intoxicating: presence, tension, and the exquisite pleasure of letting desire build.

This isn't about what you can't have. It's about discovering how much more you can feel when you slow it all the way down.

Expect: Guided embodiment experiences, connection games that turn up the heat, a consent-forward container, and room to play at your own edges. This party will featured newly trained facilitators in The Art of Almost Kissing by Kimberly Han.
