BDSM Spirituality - Raven Kaldera
Part 1: The Ordeal Path. From the Lakota Sun Dance to monastic submission, elements of BDSM have been part of people's spiritual lives for millennia. We'll explore the different ways one can incorporate these varied practices into your spiritual life, from sacred pain ordeals to cathartic ritual theater to an ethical and spiritual expression of submission and mastery. Although this workshop is open to anyone over 18, we suggest that you understand the concept of consensual BDSM before attending.
Part 2: The Invisible Toybox. There are many ways to move around that elusive yet powerful quality that most of us just call "energy," although it's been known as mana, prana, chi, ki, orgone, and by many other names. Pagans, witches, and magicians move it around in ways that we call Magic; masters of Reiki and Ch'i Gong manipulate it in different ways. We'll learn about the ways in which energy work and magic can be incorporated into BDSM, for play and for intimacy. By the author of Dark Moon Rising: Pagan BDSM. [18+].
Circles of Aphrodite - Wilddragon
This ritual of Sacred Sexuality focuses on exploring--in very small steps--the role of a sexual priest or priestess. Beginning as a single circle, those who feel called will move inward in stages to form alternating circles of men and women. The outmost circle only receives; the next three circles give only the gift of their partial or full nudity; then begin circles of increasing degrees of touch. You may choose your circle freely, and may change circles during the ritual. Whichever circle you choose, the important thing is act as a priest/ess manifesting the love of God/dess to those in adjacent circles.

Feast of Aphrodite - Wilddragon
We gather to worship the Goddesses of love and sexuality. In her name we will "sing, feast, dance, make music" and share in the ecstasy of the spirit. Participants are encouraged to bring food and drink to share during the feast. Although this is an occasion for revelry and pleasure, it is a ritual, not a party! Persons unfamiliar with proper ritual etiquette should seek guidance before attending the ritual. Single men looking for a party and/or a singles' bar are advised to look elsewhere. Nudity is required and the seats are likely to be cold and/or dirty, so bring a towel or blanket. [18+].
Sacred Sexuality: A Theistic Introduction - Wilddragon
When is sexuality sacred? As with other magic, sacredness is a matter of intent. In this workshop, we will experiment with the use of sexual energy to increase our personal relationships with each God/dess. We will also use a part of this time to introduce and answer questions about the Sacred Sexuality track of programming, and to coordinate off-schedule events. Nudity is encouraged but not required. Please bring a blanket, towel or other ground cover.

Sex Work as Magickal Work - Jennifer Hunter
Most feminists once viewed sex work (prostitution, adult modeling, phone sex, stripping, etc.) as demeaning to women, and a symptom of a societal problem. However, some feminists now believe sex work can be a positive and empowering choice. We know that certain ancient cultures had temple priestesses who made love to worshippers. Some modern sex workers also see their work as a sacred calling. Beyond providing their customers with pleasure on a basic level (important in itself!), they can offer more esoteric experiences of love, acceptance, and sometimes communion with Deity. This workshop will explore our perceptions of sex workers and where those perceptions come from. We'll also look at the aspect of money changing hands--does that change the experience, and how? In what ways can sex workers be healers? How should our society change in order to make sex workers' lives easier, and what can we do to facilitate that? How can sex workers change the world? [18+].
Take Matters Into Your Own Hands - erica
Okay, so May was officially masturbation month. But that doesn't mean we can't take matters into our own hands and celebrate the joys of self-pleasuring now--because every month is masturbation month. Let's come together to share techniques and ideas, learn and have lots of fun together. Let this bring out the exhibitionist and voyeur in us all. Bring lube if you'd like, and any favorite toys, blankets, pillows--anything you need to feel comfortable. Open to all adults. [18+].
A Very Personal Relationship with God/dess - Wilddragon
Once, when a Christian friend was kidding me about worshipping trees, I asked her 'You have a personal relationship with Jesus, right?' When she responded 'yes,' I replied, 'Well, I have a personal relationship with Aphrodite.' She thought about that for a couple of minutes and then said, 'Good choice.' Many Pagans, whether duotheist, polytheist or Dianic monotheist, do experience a personal relationship with God/dess/es, and that relationship frequently has explictly sexual aspects. Come and listen to others, or share your own experiences of romantic and erotic relationships with Gods, Goddesses and spirits. Then join us in a round of erotic prayer and a meditation to experience ecstatic union with your own patron Deity. Nudity is strongly encouraged but not required and the seats are likely to be cold and/or dirty, so bring a towel or blanket. [18+].
