Introduction to Sacred Sexuality - Wilddragon
When is sexuality sacred? Like magic, the sacred is primarily a matter of intent. In this workshop we
will discuss the motivations of the Sacred Sexuality movement and create opportunities to experience
sexual energy as sacred. Please bring a blanket or other ground cover. Nudity is strongly encouraged
but not required.
My Gods--Did THAT Hurt? - Del
As with most clothing-optional events, people who sport various body modifications (piercings, tattoos,
etc) get the age old question, "Did that hurt?" Come share your story about your body modifications
and whatever meanings they hold for you. Curious about body modification as a lifestyle or ritual
choice? Come talk to some who have experienced it!
Raising Power Through Binding and Scourging--The Knotty Witches Way - Selene
The essence of Magick is to raise power and direct it with your will. This workshop will focus on
practical binding and scourging. The workshop will discuss the safe practice of magical binding
including interpersonal bondage between mutually consenting adults whose objectives are to raise and
channel power. The binding presentation will cover factors such as touch, texture, sensory deprivation,
positioning, restricting, strength of bonds, safety, hygiene, and tools such as ropes, cords, corsets, rings,
and collars. The scourging presentation will cover alternative methods of purification, self-purification,
practical ritualistic applications, scourging as a prelude to sex, and other germane topics. Actual
scourging will be demonstrated. The ability of these techniques and tools to alter states of
consciousness will be demonstrated. This will be a practical, hands-on workshop. Materials will be
available. There will be plenty of time for demonstrations and practice. This material will be presented
independent of any particular Craft Tradition.
Sacred Sexuality Sumbel - Wilddragon
Drawn from the Norse tradition, a Sumbel is a ritual in which a horn of (alcholic) mead is passed
around the circle and each participant offers toasts to Gods, ancestors and heros, as well as other
toasts, boasts, and vows. In this ritual, we will toast Gods and Goddesses of love, beauty and sexuality,
and then continue that theme in other toasts, boasts and vows. Full nudity is required for males, at least
partial nudity for females. Non-drinkers may merely touch the horn to their lips instead of drinking.
Sensual Touch - Erica
Great sex doesn't just happen. It has to be consciously nurtured and developed. We will discuss ways
to create sensual space, develop trust, deepen our emotional bonds with our partners, and create an
atmosphere where we can go beyond the everyday sexual experience. Come join us as we learn how
to mindfully touch our partners and break down the barriers that prevent us from fully expressing our
deepest emotions, and discover soul-stirring, passionate lovemaking.
Sexual Trancework 101 - Wilddragon
After creating sacred space, we will undertake to balance the energy of trance with the energy of
sexuality by alternating between deepening our trance and intensifying our flow of sexual energy. Our
goal is to use the tension between these two energies to push us deeper into an experience of the
Sacred. Non-genital touch may be used to increase sexual energy, but the primary focus will be on
sharing sexual energy, rather than physical contact. Nudity is strongly encouraged but not required. This
class is a pre-requisite for Sexual Trancework 201. See that description for details.
Sexual Trancework 201 - Wilddragon
Using the techniques learned in Sexual Trancework 101, we will progressively increase the level of
erotic energy as we continue to focus on an experience of the Sacred. Full nudity is required for males,
at least partial nudity for females. Non-genital touch will be required, genital touch with mutual consent
will be permitted but not required. In order to insure a feeling of safe space for our female participants,
only those males who participated in Sexual Trancework 101 will be admitted to this workshop.
Females may attend without the pre-requisite. (Yes, I know it's a double standard, but the reality
of our society is that women have good reason to feel threatened by men in ways that men do not feel
threatened by women.)
Take Matters Into Your Own Hands - Erica
Masturbation is something we all do but don't talk about nearly enough. Even if we enthusiastically
appreciate our bodies in private, it's usually not something we share with others. We almost never tell
our friends about the incredible orgasms we had when we masturbated last night, yet we'll often gladly
share the most minute details of our latest partner sex experiences. That's how deeply ingrained our
society's sex and pleasure negative messages have become for both men and women. Come join us as
we explore how these messages impact our adult sexuality and our feelings about ourselves. Let's
appreciate the joys of self-pleasuring, and how it can help us develop self awareness, self confidence,
and acceptance of our sexuality and others. Liberating masturbation is liberating ourselves.
The Art of Erotic Dancing for Couples - Maeve TygrEyd
This class will teach women the art of seduction through erotic dancing. No previous dance experience
is needed and NO clothing will be removed during class, but please dress in something comfortable to
be moving in.
The Human Drum - Daveed Korup
This workshop integrates rhythm and drumming with spanking and spirituality. Various rhythms and
beats will be discused from multiple perspectives. The nature of human drumming will be explored. This
will be a hands-on workshop.
The Nature of Submission - Eric S
What does submission mean? Why do people choose to be submissives/bottoms and what do they
draw from it? What does this mean spiritually and psychologically? Does being a submissive make you
less of a man/woman? Eric will speak from personal experience and research but there will also be
plenty of discussion and input from attendees.
Tune In To Turn On - Erica
We're a goal-oriented society, and sex is too often no different. What are we missing when we head
straight for our genitals? How much greater could our experience be, if we just took the time to tune
into our entire bodies during sex? And what if we broadened our definition of sex, so that it didn't even
always include genitals? Consciously tuning into our entire bodies during sex deepens our appreciation
of the depth and breadth of our sexuality and our sensuality, and of life itself. It dramatically reduces
sexual issues, and dramatically increases our allover enjoyment and satisfaction. We will discuss how
exploring sensual, full-body sex can heighten our pleasure and deepen our eroticism.
