“The Spiritual Power of Conscious Kink”

A daylong immersion into the vitality of power dynamics, voice activation, pleasure, and conscious, embodied, erotic play.

If you consider yourself as devoted to your personal growth and spiritual practice, and intrigued by the ways that kink can empower you with more tools for the journey, this playshop is a perfect space for you. Think of this as advanced kink for beginners, held in a ceremonial container.

During the facilitated portion of the event, we will provide you with a basic overview, structure and experiential practice in elements of kink:

1. Defining, establishing and playing with personal and relational power dynamics in a conscious, intentional, consensual way
2. Various technical skills demos and opportunities for learning and practicing (we’ll have all sorts of fun tools to play with!)
3. Nuances of consent and clear communication about desires, boundaries, and limits
4. Ways to use kink to navigate conflict, bring joy to your shadow work, and deepen your capacity to express and integrate multiple parts of self
5. Activating your voice through kink-informed practices that open your central channel to increase the flow of erotic life force energy
6. How to approach the full spectrum of the human experience with more creativity, connection, possibility, and play

While we intend to start at the beginning, if you are invited to this event, we understand that you’re already at an advanced level of personal development, and will be curating the content from that awareness.

We are teaching from our shared value that kink done well is one of the most powerful tools to support embodiment, wholeness, liberation, and radical acceptance of our full spectrum human experience.

Given this event is on the Saturday before Easter, we’re going to honor the experience of the pregnant pause that comes before resurrection, by spending a lot of time exploring the energy of anticipation, the tease, and the power of attuned observation and response that can happen when we really slow down and surrender to the unknown.

We are delighted to invite you, wherever you are on your kink journey, to uplevel your practice and come into contact with the spiritual power of conscious kink. Our desire is to equip you with practical skills that will create space for even more fun, levity, and creative options for walking out your spiritual journey as a soul in a human body, on a wildly profane and equally sacred planet.

If you would like to turn this experience into a little retreat moment, camping will be available for a small extra fee, as we will be at a beautiful private residence in nature, close to the Yuba river, in the height of spring. There is a sauna, cold plunge, and walking trails on the property.

WHAT IT IS

1. A gender inclusive, queer enthused event
2. A ceremonial container that includes both facilitation and space for open play
3. A highly curated, intimate, invite only container. If you want to invite your friends, check with one of the organizers before doing so.
4. We’re here to set up this skillset and container for you, trusting that you can hold yourself inside of it. Go at the pace of your own consent and capacity for integration. Titrate yourself as necessary
5. Healing may be a byproduct, but not an expectation.
6. It is always a good idea when engaging in a ceremony to have a support network set up for you to lean into after the event should things come up. This is an experience, not a healing journey.
7. The focus is play, pleasure, empowerment, creativity, connection, and opening the aperture for how it’s possible to be with all the materials of your own embodied experience.

WHAT IT AIN’T

1. An opportunity to numb out
2. A place to expect a peak experience, especially if you’re not available to do the necessary integration work to truly embody what you experience
3. A full out sex party. We will be playing with erotic energy and relational kink. All nipples are welcome, bottoms stay on. Personal expression and exchange of erotic energy is available and encouraged. Clothes off genital contact, intercourse, oral sex, and bottoms off anal play are not. We may hold a future event with a different set of boundaries.
4. A place to try to find a date. We love and encourage connection, and while new connections may be made, arrive to this event with the intention to learn, play, to stay connected to yourself and your experience. and to bring presence and nonattachment to opportunities for moments of intimacy.

GROUP AGREEMENTS

1. Arrive on time
2. Establish consent before physically touching others, or engaging in power dynamics/kink activities
3. Own your own experience and take care of yourself

6. No naked genital contact, sexual intercourse, oral sex or bottoms off anal play
7. Don’t yuck anyone else’s yum - no kink shaming
