Clearing the Tree: Sexual Energy Healing Techniques - Raven Kaldera & Joshua Tenpenny
There's a lot of talk out there about healing with sexual energy, but far less in the way of simple techniques to actually do it. This workshop will explore and demonstrate techniques that one person can use to assess and clear their partner's built-up negative energy during sex and/or play.
Compassionate Boundaries: Balancing Openness with Ethics and Self-Preservation - Tannin Schwartzstein
For those who work with others who are not necessarily intimates in the realm of Sacred Sexuality, there are a multitude of choices to make when it comes to offering others access to their bodies, minds and souls. In this workshop, The Pink Sphinx would like to offer some insight and advice to newcomers and old hands based on her own experience of hosting spaces offering sacred sexual service. The content of this talk is not gender or orientation specific, and may contain some kink.
Fighting Only the Good Fight - Christine and O
In your primary romantic relationships, you may find that you and your partner are perfectly paired in desires, parenting styles, dreams for life... but you may also be perfectly paired in your injuries and have an uncanny ability to “key” each other. Communication styles, personality types, and social priorities may differ. Based on Emergence theories, this workshop is an introduction to personality types and methods of clear, meaningful communication and connection. Essentially, you will learn techniques to “fight better” and connect more quickly. This workshop is not for couples/partners only! The concepts introduced are great tools for personal growth. Sexual content will be discussed. This class goes a little further into the relationship concepts introduced in the Anatomy of Connection, which is recommended, but not a prerequisite.
Honor, Service, and Devotion: Love In A Power Dynamic - Raven Kaldera & Joshua Tenpenny
Can love exist healthily in a dominant/submissive power dynamic—for an hour or for a lifetime? This workshop explores the spiritual, emotional, ethical, and practical sides of consensual power exchange in relationships, whether part-time as play or full-time as a way of being in the world. We'll delve into the fire of power-exchange ritual and the darkness of using magic to consensually enhance the training of a submissive. We'll celebrate the many sacred archetypes of dominance and submission and see how they dance together: Predator and Prey, Master and Servant, Owner and Slave, Magician and Enchanted Object, Priest and Worshipper, Seeker and Psychopomp, Lord and Vassal, Teacher and Padawan, Dark Goddess and John Barleycorn, and many others. Bring your stories! And your collars, and chains, and leashes ... both ends. By the authors of Dear Raven and Joshua: Questions and Answers About Master/Slave Relationships.

Sex Magic in the Northern Tradition - Raven Kaldera
In the Norse/Germanic cosmology, nine worlds spin around a world tree from heaven to underworld, and each has something to teach us about sexuality and sex magic.

Transcendent, material, or community? Come and hear the stories of the northern Gods and their sexual magic.
