Conscious Erotic Dancing is created to awaken and attune our healing and creative energies, from molecular level in the deepest core of our biological being to complete transcendence. It is not concerned with learning but with remembering and recognizing what belongs to our original, primary nature.

Our society encourages us to search for “the one”, to find our “better half” and to rely on our romantic partner to anticipate and meet all of our needs. We know we can have nurturing relationships with multiple friends, co-workers, and relatives without threatening our other relationships.

So what happens if we reject society’s scarcity model of love and let go of ownership of our romantic partner? We can begin to think of love and erotic energy as coming from a place of abundance, with room for sensual exploration, sexual adventures and long-lasting, fulfilling relationships. Ethical non-monogamy offers tools for taking responsibility for our own happiness, building communication, intimacy, trust, and freedom to explore different aspects of ourselves with others. Lydia will share some of the mindset adjustments and communication rituals that she and her partners use to ensure everyone feels safe, respected and loved.

Play piercing can produce an endorphin high, which can last for hours and can induce orgasm in many of the people who experience it. It is body piercing done for the purpose of enjoying the experience rather than producing a permanent body decoration. The experience of multiple piercings in an erotically or spiritually charged context is something to experience.

You can tickle, cuddle, stroke or caress the bark of each tree. Explore their branches, their leaves, their scent or their taste. Sharing your love and attention between these great flora specimens, creating a safe space to experiment with pleasure. Then surrender yourself, as you become ‘The Forest’. Experience the tickles, the cuddles, stokes and caresses of loving hands. As the distraction of attraction hides in darkness, your pleasure can emerge into the light. How much will you let go? How much will you surrender?

When people come into the erotic space, there is the perceived pressure to feel sexual or erotic when we may feel scared or exhausted or insecure. Putting self-care first means turns towards how you are feeling and prioritizing meeting your underlying needs. We will practice asking our intuition the question “what are we needing now? From that place we come to this place from a place of abundance instead of lack, which makes us more capable of connecting with others in an authentic way.

Self-Love is a Key enabler in the Erotic Space.
