Wilrieke Sophia (they/them) is a sex & intimacy educator; consent, kink and eclectic neo-tantra facilitator; intimacy activist; (TEDx) speaker; writer; and founder of Exploring Deeper and Cuddle Workshops International. They identify as queer, sex-positive, polyamorous and kinky. Wilrieke is based near Amsterdam, The Netherlands where they openly combine being a mother of three daughters with their work. The main focus of their work is empowerment through self-knowledge and understanding, radical self-inclusion, the embodied experiencing of boundaries and desires, and an extensive practice of consent – all based on a foundation of trauma awareness and neuroscience, embedded in experiential spaces based on intimacy practices. Wilrieke hosts sex-positive retreats, play parties, teacher training, and festivals. In their free time, Wilrieke creates zines and other free materials on e.g. accountability, abuse and power dynamics in the intimacy and wellness communities.
