• Leave with new friends and confidence in any social situation

About Your Host

Shiva J is a somatic facilitator and embodiment guide devoted to authentic connection, nervous system healing, and transformational group experiences. He blends consent-based intimacy practices, movement ritual, and presence work to help people reconnect with the truth in their body and the power of the present moment.

With a background in holistic wellness, men's work, and tantra-informed practices, Shiva creates spaces that are playful, safe, and deeply liberating—where you can show up exactly as you are.

When he's not facilitating, you'll find him at ecstatic dance, drum circles, or hiking local trails with a dirty chai in hand.
