Just Fuck Yourself (a Surprisingly Romantic Valentine Adventure)

Take yourself on the most mind-blowingly delightful date you’ve ever had (so far) - and it only gets better from there!

..................

Some people dread the idea of spending Valentine’s Day alone. Others barely register it, treating it like any other day. And in both cases, something extraordinary too often gets missed: the chance to celebrate the most intimate, evocative, and transformative love story of your lifetime - the one you’re already a part of.

This workshop reframes the idea that romance has to be awarded by another person to exist. Your own divinely powerful love is already at your fingertips - and what a relief it is to discover that nobody else can truly control what you can experience!

However, it’s hard to preach the abstract notion of “self-love” to someone experiencing the ache of loneliness. Telling folks to “just love themselves” while they’re craving connection is like explaining to someone who’s starving that they don’t need food…

At this event, we’re not going to pretend that yearning for someone is something to transcend or “heal”. We are wired to crave this. Periodt. Human connection is a universal need and (likely the best) part of being alive - not a personal failing. And when that desire is boldly embraced instead of blocked, creativity and aliveness are amplified within yourself and the world around you.

And though we are cultivating love within ourselves, we do awaken, thrive, and expand in the presence of others. That’s why we’re doing this together. In community, we’ll be turning toward ourselves while being inspired by one another—evoking romance in our own bodies and noticing how that fruitful Eros energy ripples and grows..

💡 What We’ll Explore During the Workshop

🥰 Master Self-Pleasure

Never forget that YOU are the person most uniquely qualified to understand your own needs and absolutely blow your own mind. Think: best-ple@sure-of-your-life (so far) vibes consistently. No performance. Just you, deeply attuned to yourself, remembering what you’re capable of feeling. We’ll experiment with mirrors and blindfolds to deepen our experience.

💘 Born to Love

Embrace your inner “love fool” - don’t shy away, don’t cringe! Through guided meditation, writing exercises, and sharing stories, reclaim the erotic energy that your shame was weighing down. It’s time to truly admire your capacity for profound love! Welcome & amplify all the romance you already receive. You’ll notice a very palpable shift in your magnetism and what you attract to yourself at this frequency.

💃Kinky Love Danceparty!

Workshop Format

  1. Feel Free to Take Notes! If it helps you learn, we encourage you to bring a notepad to jot notes and reflections
  2. Interactions: The Workshop may include personal reflections, interactive demonstrations, and practical exercises. This may include solo/partner/group activities. Participate and opt-in to the extent of your comfort - you can also just sit back at any time and observe others!
  3. Come Alone or With Someone! Come solo or bring a partner, a friend, a group of coworkers, your frenemies, or your entire polycule! During the exercises, you'll have the opportunity to interact with other students & switch partners, which allows for practicing with familiar partners and new acquaintances. We do not pair people up and encourage guests to make friends and engage to their level of comfort.
  4. Dress Code: Feel free to dress however you want, whether vanilla or spicy for the workshop. There is a place to change outfits. FOR THE AFTERHOURS, “date night” attire is encouraged. What would you wear to your perfect date? This can be something fancy, something romantic, lingerie… anything that makes you feel like the gorgeous creature you are!
  5. Who Can Come: This workshop is open to all gender identifications, orientations, lifestyles, singles and couples. YES PARTNERED PEOPLE CAN ATTEND THIS EVENT TOGETHER - Please remember - during this particular event, people who are part of a couple are encouraged to focus on independent exploration. (NOTE: If you’re looking for a couples-focused Valentine experience, check out this other Pagan’s Paradise event designed specifically for partnered dynamics.) All experience levels welcome. 21+.

Afterparty:

After the workshop, the lights go down, the music goes up, and the setting transforms into a playful social environment - an Afterparty. Engage at your own comfort level - whether that means dancing, observing, casually chatting by the snacks, or actively interacting with others from the Workshop.

There will be a few opt-in activity stations for you to experience, including:

  1. Kinky Danceparty
  2. Various Self-Love Mirrors
  3. A “Group” Scene Where Everyone’s Solo
  4. Various Equipment and Gadgets designed for Solo enjoyment
  5. A Low-Stim Area to wind down, cuddle, and/or process emotions.

YOU CAN CHOOSE TO BRING YOUR OWN:

  1. Solo-use toys (vibrators, strokers, etc.)
  2. Adult beverages or soft drinks (Consume responsibly - but also - feel free to spoil yourself with something you really look forward to!)
  3. Go ahead, treat yourself. Bring yourself flowers, your favorite stuffie, or anything that would make this your perfect self-Date.

📢 ANNOUNCEMENT:

This optional "homework" is worth it! To get the most out of this workshop, feel free to read this short essay in advance ("The Uses of the Erotic" by Audre Lorde). It will provide context for the exercises we do (and will be a fun way to discuss topics and start connecting in the event chat!) [https://bit.ly/3NDxvK5]
