What if dance and sex did not have to be separate
intelligences or communities? Want to let yourself be seen, heard, and received,
as you deepen your full self-expression? This (clothes on) play shop is for
dancers and explorers on a sexual journey of self-love who want to learn how to
move, contain, and share energy to unleash the next level of self-expression
and intimacy. Join a group of likeminded embodied explorers as you practice
impeccable boundaries, fearless requests, and the next level of your creative
erotic artistry.
YOU WILL LEARN:
* How dance can anchor you in yourself before and after
exchanging energy with a partner or group.
* How to identify, accept, and communicate your boundaries
and desires both verbally and through movement.
* To get in touch with your own energetic field, amplify it,
and activate it as a powerful source of connection.
* How dance makes energy visible and broadcasts intentions.
* Ways to play with tempo, quality of movement, muscle tone,
vocalizing, and breath to shift your energy and the energy of a partner.
* How to experiment with the roles of guiding and
surrendering to inform your consensual power dynamics in relationship.
* To tune into the sensation and presence of a partner
through dance and touch.
* Explorations to play with gender fluidity exploring
movement, posture, and energetic anatomy that may be different than your
physical form and identity.
* How to cultivate the energy of each of the 7 major
chakra’s (energy centers) by yourself and with a partner.
* Heart opening and pelvis activating movements to release
blocks in emotions and sexual flow.
* Monique's infamous creation... the "Heart Fuck!"
We start with a welcoming circle, some specific guided
explorations, open time for playing or witnessing, and a juicy reflective
closing circle. Bring a partner, connect with someone new, or explore on your
own! Please wear clothes that you love to move in. Underwear will stay on as we
focus on presence, energetic intimacy, and dance!
BENEFITS INCLUDE:
* Trusting yourself to create healthy boundaries
* Self-care tools for grounding and integrating intimate
experiences
* More confidence and clarity expressing your desires and
creating consent
* Opportunity to be fully self-expressed and connect with
people who gravitate to the true you
* Permission to expand your gender expression in a safe and
supportive space
* Connection with more embodied and sex positive playmates
to heal the common divide between those communities
If you are a first timer at a play party, you are most
welcome in this safe and grounding container! If you attend play parties regularly,
you are invited to come reveal another layer of your self-expression in a
sensation and presence based playground that does not have to look anything
like “sex!”
