#22 Sex in Oberlethe: Women’s Sex Festival by Therapist and Sexworker Lenia Soley

Show notes

Several times a year, couples and sex therapist, sex worker and mediator Lenia Soley organizes “Women's Sex Retreats” at the Oberlethe farm near Oldenburg.

What may sound like an orgy lasting several days is in fact a gathering of around 12 women who spend a long weekend exploring their sexuality, their bodies and their biographies and experiencing themselves anew through self-awareness and community.

The Oberlethe farm looks inconspicuous from the outside, but the grounds reveal a beautifully restored half-timbered house with a thatched roof and comfortably restored accommodation.

This year, Lenia held her very first “Women’s Sex Festival” - also in Oberlethe - where more than 70 women gathered to discover new kinks, experience sisterhood or celebrate their own bodies and being.

In addition to the retreats, Lenia also organizes women's temple nights in Berlin and has recently started a women's annual group. In this episode, Nike talks to Lenia about why she only creates spaces for women (cis and trans women and non-binary people who are (also) on the female spectrum) and what her motivation behind the retreats is.

Editor Amelie Gante also talks about her experience at the Festival.

And if you want to know more about the sex retreats, go listen to our german episode with Lenia where participant Nora Roggausch talks about her experience at the retreat.
