Blindfolded Contact: Surrendering to Our Inner Sight

Blindfolded Contact Dance is a safe and gentle experience—great for both beginners and experienced dancers alike. Wearing blindfolds allows dancers to drop the fear and self-judgment that often inhibits spontaneous movement and authentic connection to self and others. These workshops take participants on a journey of somatic self-discovery and non-verbal consent via solo and group exercises before culminating in an hour-long freeform blindfolded jam.

****We will open with a short circle addressing boundaries and safety. Please arrive between 6:30-7. This is closed container. Late arrivals will not be admitted and will not receive a refund.****

We have a high expectation of personal responsibility and respect regarding consent and boundaries.

If you have a blindfold (or something that can be used as one), please bring it. Otherwise we will have some available for sale.

Orgasmic Energy Workshop


Saturday, April 20, 2019 at 12:00 PM – 6:00 PM PDT

Rudramandir: A Center for Spirituality and Healing
830 Bancroft Way
Berkeley, CA


Come and spend this time with us and make it an Orgasmic Saturday!

We are going to do set of exercises and practices that help to open up the Second chakra, which is responsible for our pleasures, sexuality, creativity, abundance in life. Using movement, meditation, healing touch, balancing emotions, and energy work we will be relieving the body of tensions and stress.

This workshop will be beneficial if you are:
·         Ready to have changes in your life
·         Willing to feel much more alive
·         Interested in balancing masculine and feminine energies
·         Eager to deepen your sexual experiences
·         Curious to attract finances with creativity and joy
·         Desiring to open up the Pleasure Center (the Second Chakra)
·         Opened to be showered with Orgasmic Energy
·         This workshop might not work for you if you are:
·         Not ready to have changes in your life
·         A skeptical thinker on energy topics
·         The one who blames everyone and everything in your problems
·         Not putting pleasure as a priority in your life

In our multicultural society we have many different views about sex. Some cultures are very open to it; others are opposite and can’t even talk about this topic. Sadly, when it comes to a discussion about sex we, people, are often more likely to dwell on the negative and avoid talking about the positive.
And as a result, the amazing pure and beautiful energy, that is sex, is often portrayed in ways that sound dirty and shameless. This is self contradictory and particularly confusing considering the fact that every single one of us on this planet is a product of sex. Did we all come from a dirty shameless act, or from a natural, healthy expression of mental, emotional and physical energy and sensual pleasure?

Our first sexual experience plays a major role for the rest of sexual life. A lot of people can’t enjoy sex with their partner, very often they loose interest after some time, many of them would love to bring the spark back but do not know how. Many people live with shame about their sexuality, can’t enjoy it and other things in their life. Sometimes one bad sexual experience can seriously affect how we feel and show up in other areas of life. When people live with this baggage in their heads and do nothing about it, later these thoughts, feelings and perception might transfer into diseases such as infertility, urinary diseases, impotence, prostate problems, uterine fibroids and many others.

Fortunately, every person has a chance to change it. After we have healed a lot of our sexual traumas we are here to help others. The good news is that our work is directed to shower your Sexual Chakra area with love and energy, releasing the unwanted past experiences and bringing pure joy there. It is so much easier to clear all of this baggage while it’s still in your head, before it gets transferred to your genital organs as a disease.

Structure:
·         Opening circle
·         Movement meditation
·         Meditation for dropping into Svadhisthana chakra
·         Break and tasting exercise
·         Gratitude and responsibility exercise
·         Energy work, Microorgasmic Orbit
·         Closing. Enjoying tea and conversation

The workshop Facilitators - Lana and Lyuba, have been exploring the depths of human sexuality from many different perspectives. They are committed to support people in creating transformations in this area; we are very serious about setting up a very safe environment where many miracles can and usually do happen.

Chocolate Cosmic Dreaming: Cacao & Yoga Nidra Ceremony with Eve


Sunday, April 14, 2019 at 6:30 PM – 8 PM

8 Colton Court,
Redwood City, California



Come to rejoice, heal and expand your heart into limitless bliss. Break through what’s limiting your true potential and maximize your health fulfillment!

We will dive in deep to connect to your purest self, highest essence, dropping the ego and current paradigms in order to allow a direct connection with your Higher self. You will gain a significant awareness and shifts that allow you to be more embodied and at peace with pure 100% ceremonial cocoa drink prepared according to original ancient recipes.

*For optimal effect of the cocoa, it's best to fast for 3 hours before.

The ancient ways are more relevant than ever as we remember what truly nourishes our souls. The Mayan people predicted that cacao will spread through the world when humans have lost touch with their hearts. Now is the time we are being called to heal our collective hearts and to dream courageously to create a better future.

In this special ceremony, led by Eve Soboleva, we will co-create with the sacred plant medicine Cacao - pure Mayan chocolate - which is a gentle heart chakra opener. It is through connecting to the heart that we gain access to our deepest desires and longings, to unconditional love, compassion, and forgiveness, and to the quantum field of all possibility.

Our sacred cacao ceremony will set the stage for a powerful inner journey using the an ancient guided meditation practice of Yoga Nidra. The word “nidra” means sleep, and this is a conscious dreaming technique from the Tantric Yoga tradition. It gently guides us to shifting old blocks and patterns in the subconscious and nervous system so that we can dream and create new realities.

In this event we will come together to clear out blocks, heal our hearts, elevate our energetic vibration, and reconnect to our collective truth as divine beings.

This is heart and soul medicine, and will guide you back to your natural vibration of love and joy.

Please bring water, a yoga mat, a journal and pen, a sacred object for the altar, and your open heart. I suggest not eating 1-2 hours beforehand so you can receive the full effect of the cacao.

Cost: $45 presale: $50 at the door

Skillful Sexual Communication for Men


Wednesday, April 10, 2019 at 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM PDT

1738 Haight Street
#406
San Francisco, CA


Society tells (straight) men that:
- women want sex less than us.
- women expect us to read their minds
- communication itself is unmanly
- it's unmanly to ask for her "no."

Yet NONE of this is true.

There is SO MUCH that men can do with our WORDS to disrupt this paradigm and create the space for more and better sex. This workshop, co-led by Men's Coach Mischa Byruck (www.evolve.men) and Leonore Tjia, (http://www.leonoretjia.com/) a leading Bay Area sexual empowerment coach, will show you how.

Through story shares, discussion, and role play we will learn:
- How to initiate honest conversations in a powerful way
- How to share your desires without being creepy
- How to lead a 'safer sex' conversation
- How to discover her authentic “yes” by rolling out the red carpet for her "no"

This workshop will also feature a rare opportunity to hear a female sexual empowerment expert "lift the veil" on the female experience around sexual communication.

You are guaranteed to walk away a better lover AND a better man.

Cost: $40

Sunday, April 7, 2019 at 7:30 PM – 11:59 PM PDT

Iron Giant Loft
1080 23rd Ave
Oakland, CA 


This is an experiential play party for the sensually adventurous. This special evening welcomes all genders and orientations 18+.

This is an invitation to dive deeply into yourself and each other in ways you may have been afraid to do in the past. This is the play party you want to come to even if you've never been to a play party before.

ATMOSPHERE
We create an expansive, feeling-full environment charged with electricity, yet warmly grounded and earthy. A safe and sacred container for exploring tantalizing touch in a relaxed, sex-positive space. This play party encourages your curiosity about taking your own sensual play space to the next level.

The atmosphere is consent-centered; you get to decide how you engage at every step, including giving and receiving touch. All attendees ask before touching anyone they don't know well, and no is always a complete sentence.

The evening is a celebration of imagination and curiosity, so you may experience as many flavors as you dare. Come dressed in something that makes you feel special, decadent, and sexy!

Let Alex and Liam guide you through a series of conscious connective touch interactive games as we begin to take a room full of strangers on an intimate exploration of themselves through one another.

Then, let us lead you through a welcome circle where a room of strangers slowly opens up and winds up on the same page, having the opportunity to be seen, heard, and understood in ways maybe you have never even imagined!

What is Play with a capital "P"?
Play with a capital "P" is whatever it means to you. You are invited to co-create whatever feeds your soul. Participation (also with a capital "P") can mean many things. You'll see people chatting, flirting, snuggling, making out, exploring energy play, having kink scenes, and engaging in all kinds of sexual play. You get to decide how you engage.

Whether it's a longtime fantasy or a favorite treat, multiple connections are also welcomed in this space. You're welcome to experience solo play, partnered play, and threesomes/moresomes in whatever combinations make you happiest.

This is a sensual space where participants are encouraged to explore themselves and others in ways that are stimulating, nurturing, exciting, safe and fun!

This is the Play party you want to come to if you've never been AND this is the Play party you want to come to if you want to experience how to take generating safe play space for you and your loved ones to the next level.

Cost: $28 - $50
