Breath is the Beginning: Breathing Techniques for Sacred Sex and Kink - Del
Breath is necessary for life; it feeds us, focuses us, and engages our mind and body in a single action. Intentional breath can bring awareness to sensation, help us push past our edges, or connect us to our partners. It's also a skill set that we all already have, that is easily transmuted from a survival technique to a sacred practice. Come experience deep breathing techniques for pain processing, arousal, connection, focus, intensity, moving energy, and transmitting intent. This class is great for partners/groups of lovers, flirtations, or play partners, but can be done solo as well. There will be both discussion and practice. [18+]

Chrysalis: A Ritual of Transformation - Cat Castells
Mummification of humans is a practice that goes back at least to the ancient Egyptians, but it's been a part of the life cycle of insects for millions of years. This ritual is an opportunity to tap into the energy of transformation as experienced by the monarch butterfly. We'll begin by mummifying our participants (limit of 9, so sign up early!) and then do a deep meditation aimed at facilitating change in their lives. The ritual culminates in being freed from the cocoon and welcomed back into the world. This is an intense experience, so please bring a support person with you. Also, please bring a towel for drying off after being released. Nudity will be required in this ritual, so please take that into consideration when electing to participate. All people who attend this class must take part in some way; if you don't come as a participant or a support person, you will not be able to stay. Max class size: 9; [18+]

The Elements are In Your Toy Bag! - The Pink Sphinx
When many of us began our journey into Paganism and/or Magick, we started with the classical elements of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. In this workshop/demo, the classical elements will be represented and personified through the presence and use of BDSM tools! This is a combination demo/participation class. Feel free to bring your toy bags! You are encouraged but not required to participate in activities. Beginners are welcome! The content of this talk is not gender or orientation specific. [18+]

Hieros Gamos: The High King and The Priestess Avatar - Denise Cumor
This workshop will explore the Hieros Gamos: the ancient Sumerian sacred, sex-positive, public ritual. We will also discuss ancient fertility rites from around the world and how we can take this knowledge to create empowering sex magic rituals in our own lives to make stronger bonds with our lovers and with the Goddess. [18+]

Putting More Energy into Spanking - Arakeane & Selene
This is an advanced spanking class with an emphasis on incorporation of energy work into the spanking ritual. Methods, techniques, and practical considerations for the use of energy throughout the spanking ritual will be presented. This is very much a hands-on course, with demonstrations and audience participation to the extent desired. A group exercise will be conducted to help establish a common perspective on energy work. [18+]

Rhythms of the Root Chakra: The Art of Sacred Sexual Drumming - Conrad Kubiak
During this workshop, you will learn how to use the drum to amplify your sexuality by connecting to rhythms of your root chakra. You will begin to understand the connection between drum, fire, and dancers so that you may intensify the sacred sexual passion that lies within yourself and the group. Conrad will show you breathing techniques so that you may connect with Mother Earth and your drum. Lastly, you will be creating a safe container for others to express themselves. [18+]

Sexual Magickal Mystery Tour - The Pink Sphinx
Tantra, charging a candle, seeking an audience with The Gods... it's all basically the same thing, right? The Pink Sphinx would beg to differ. From a magickian's point of view, the use of sexual energy to manifest change in the physical world can be quite separate from a spiritual or religious practice... while from the mystic's point of view, using sex as a tool for communing with the gods may not, in fact be spell work. Come join the Pink Sphinx for an informative and clarifying tour of a few of the possible stops on a Sexual Magickal Mystery Tour! All levels of spiritual/magickal experience are welcome. The content of this talk is not gender/orientation specific. Some 'kink content' will be included. [18+]

Techniques for Opening a Tantric Acoustic Vortex - Conrad Kubiak
In this workshop, you will learn how to harness the immense power of the ancient djembe drum, helping you to manifest abundance, love, and harmony in your life. You will utilize the concept of fractal rhythms to open a tantric, acoustic vortex within yourself and the group. Blending our sexual energy, the spirit of the goat, and the spirit of the tree, we will harness this powerful trinity to manifest our deepest sexual fantasies! Carried on the sub-sonic wave of the djembe, this energy will blend with Mother Earth and cycle back into our chakras, producing an energy that will give us an awesome sexual momentum to carry throughout the rest of the festival.

Your Orgasm Can Change Your Life: Sex Magick 101 - Del
Regardless of what your personal spiritual path may be, placing your focus and energy towards a specific goal that somehow helps it manifest in your life is an ideological constant. Whether you call it a prayer, a ritual, a sacrifice, or an affirmation, it all falls into a similar pattern. With orgasm, there is a large release of energy that can easily be focused toward whatever it is you wish to achieve. This class will cover the very basics of using your sexual shenanigans towards a greater good, and requires no previous experience or specific belief structure although is taught from an admittedly pagan perspective.
