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.  

Tantra is ultimately the art of creative play, from the cosmic to the physical and sexual. As we connect deeper to self, so does our play become more deeply fulfilling, and potentially transformative and ecstatic.

The Tantric playground is an invitation to play from a space of deep love and authenticity. To welcome childlike abandon, spontaneous passion, and the flow of joy and ecstasy while honouring the importance of safety and groundedness in our bodies.

Self-touch is something we might do every day. We’re used to doing it alone in private. What happens when we share with each other our practices of self-touch, when we open up about it? What happens if we permit ourselves to be seen in our pleasure and allow ourselves to turned on by the self-pleasure of others?

Dominance is something else than what you think it is. It is very close to the attitude of an artist, who choses words, colours and shapes to please themselves. In this workshop we will cultivate the feeling of dominance in ourselves in our unique way. From that feeling we will begin to play.

We invite you to tie with the seriousness of a child at play with the ropes and other materials, to get into the space of childlike curiosity and imagination, which is probably the origin of all creativity.

Messy bondage brings up emotions quite different from that of normal bondage. It calls and responds to different thoughts in our psyche. It is not an anti-aesthetic, but a different aesthetic to conventional bondage. It combines structure and unpredictability. It is also a chance to learn new unshibari techniques, performance skills, as well as body and spacial awareness.

How can we honour the depth and beauty of heartbreak and turn it into a catalyst for something new? How we can we use the erotic energy heart break creates in order to give birth to change in ourselves and for others? Join Alessandra as she walks us through this extremely subtle and important process.

Developing our sexual voice and our erotic articulation skills is fundamental if we are to live fulfilling erotic lives. Yet, the social models we have for this are sorely lacking and consent discussions while super important only take us so far. This workshop is in part about finding the space between BDSM negotiation, Tantric conventions and sex education literacy to collaboratively develop our vocabularies for pleasure.
