ABOUT US
Eden Events
Eden Events started the way most meaningful things do - with a conversation. A Zoom call, years ago now, that followed a thread of curiosity neither of us knew would lead here. What grew from that first exchange had a depth we didn't expect: the kind of connection that becomes a mirror, a challenge, and a companionship all at once. We have shaped each other through study, travel, practice, and the particular kind of friendship that asks you to keep evolving.
We are two practitioners - a somatic sexologist and a trauma-informed psychotherapist and sexologist - whose approaches fit together in a way that feels natural rather than constructed. Rachel brings grounded steadiness and an open-heartedness that can meet anything the room offers. Nikkiema brings precision, warmth, and the capacity to move energy where it needs to go. Between us we hold somatic practice, psychological depth, sacred sexuality frameworks, and years of facilitating people through the edges of their experience. What we share underneath all of it is a level of trust in each other that allows us to hold others with genuine clarity and care.
Eden Events is the container we built for that work. Our gatherings - retreats, workshops, and temple nights - are designed around the understanding that eros is an intelligence to be met. We create experiences where curiosity is the compass, consent is the culture, and pleasure is taken seriously as a pathway to self-knowledge. The space is trauma-aware, inclusive, and consent-based, genuinely for people at any point of the path - those arriving for the first time and those looking for something deeper.
We do not promise transformation. We create the conditions for it, and trust you to know what you need once you're inside.
PLEASURE, REVERENCE and EROTIC ALIVENESS…
the invitation you've been waiting for
Rachel
Rachel Rowlatt is the person who makes you realise that pleasure was never the frivolous part; it was always the point. A sexologist, Process-Oriented Psychotherapist, and tantrika, she works at the place most people have been carefully taught to avoid, and she has a way of making it feel like coming home.
She is whimsical darkness in human form, the person who can drop someone into the deepest experience of their life and have them laughing on the way there. She holds the full range of what it means to be human, from the sacred to the explicit, the grief to the ecstasy, and she doesn't flinch at any of it. She meets people in the gap between who they've been performing and who they actually are, and she stays there with them, curious and completely unshockable.
In the room, Rachel is aliveness made visible. Her attunement is constant without ever drawing attention to itself; she tracks the whole space while holding each person within it, and she can sit with grief in one corner and bring the room to laughter in the next breath, with both feeling exactly right. For people new to this work she is often the door, and for the more experienced she is the reason they go further than they planned.
A proud Aboriginal woman living with disability, Rachel brings an embodied understanding of the body's intelligence, its resilience and its genius, into everything she creates. Within Eden, she arrives with playfulness, an open heart, and a grounded steadiness that can meet anything, held in a partnership with Nikkiema built on years of trust and challenge. Her work is a returning: to pleasure, to the body, to the self that was always whole underneath the story.
People leave her events feeling more themselves than when they arrived.
Nikkiema rai
Nikkiema Rai is the person who makes you realise the conversations you've been having about your sex life, your body, and your relationships have been carefully avoiding the actual point. A Somatic Sexologist drawn to shadow, sensuality, and the edges of experience, she has a way of making the things you've never said out loud sound obvious and welcome.
Her work blends somatic practice, psychological depth, and the language of the body to illuminate the patterns that keep people at a careful distance from their own desire, power, and aliveness. She designs experiences that hold both vulnerability and strength, where growth is felt as much as understood, and where the things you've been circling finally get to be named.
In the room, Nikkiema operates as her own permission slip. The way she occupies a space - unguarded, precise, unapologetic about what she knows - tends to give other people access to parts of themselves they've been keeping at arm's length. She doesn't perform comfort; she embodies it, and the room follows. When a space needs anchoring she anchors it, when it needs redirecting she redirects it, and she's not remotely precious about claiming authority when the work calls for it.
Within Eden, she brings warmth, precision, and the fire to move energy where it needs to go. Alongside Rachel, she holds a co-facilitation dynamic built on years of trust, challenge, and companionship - the kind of partnership where two people know each other well enough to hold a room together without needing to agree on everything. She comes to the work with deep training and the ongoing willingness to keep learning; both matter equally to her.
People leave her events grounded, open, and wondering why no one talked to them like this sooner.

I felt so welcomed and as though I belonged there, even though I've never been in this kind of space before. The women were really friendly and lovely, and the facilitators were fun but also held a beautifully sacred and respectful space. It was an amazing balance of warmth, joy, and play, with safety, and connection
- LilithfromEden
The facilitators created a deeply safe, thoughtful, and beautifully embodied space with genuine care, professionalism, humour, and obvious passion for the work they were sharing. I felt safe, seen, held, and enriched by the entire experience.
