The Problem: Fighting Skin Hunger
Hello! My name is DeVika Lyles, M.Ed. I am a Sexologist, Relationship Coach and Somatic Arts Practitioner Certified in the areas of Energetic Healing, Consent and Communication. Throughout my training, I focused on supporting and educating about the increasing levels of Skin Hunger in our society. Skin Hunger is the experience of loneliness, isolation, stress and other negative feelings that come from a lack of safe, consensual and non sexual touch.
People of all ages experience the negative impacts of Skin Hunger.
During the pandemic, many of us suffered from Skin Hunger when we were not allowed to touch the people we care about for more than two years.
It was during that time that I created a unique opportunity for people to rediscover how they Communicate Using Deliberate Displays of Love and Emotion. This collection of lessons, conversations and experiences is called
The C.U.D.D.L.E. Sutra
The Solution: C.U.D.D.L.E.
Sutra
​The C.U.D.D.L.E. Sutra is a Course that combines curated lessons, conversations and experiences that create a safe space for people to discover what they have been taught about touch, communication and consent. In that new space of discovery, participants are given skills and to create new conversations and experiences that they can carry with them into the future.
Rediscover Touch
During the C.U.D.D.L.E. Sutra it is our commitment that you will uncover and remove any barriers you've had to safe, consensual and non sexual touch. You will experience freedom when it comes to receiving and requesting touch. The experience will be one of freedom, safety and self care.
