Extended Full Body Orgasm

Friday, July 21, 2017 at 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM

2501 Harrison St,

San Francisco, CA 94110-2719

What most of us associate with Orgasm is seconds of deep pleasure, release and the post- release relaxation and joy. Even in multiple orgasms the way most people experience them is getting aroused and 'reaching' orgasm again and again in irregular intervals.

With Extended Full Body Orgasm the whole experience is being in an ongoing state of orgasm. We don't reach ”an” orgasm, we go into a state of Orgasm and let go into it.

Psychotherapist and Relationship Coach Meriana Dinkova and Sexuality and Intimacy teachers Erwan and Alicia Davon will distinguish the practice of Extended Full Body Orgasm.

They will also do a live demonstration of a woman in a state of Extended Full Body Orgasm being brought there by her partner and experiencing it in front of the group (there will be genital exposure of her, so you can see the techniques as they are being practiced and as it is being explained what to do and from what place to experience it for that kind of magic, so come of you are comfortable with a life demonstration taking place).

There will be no nudity or sexual touch between participants.

Singles and Couples are welcome.

The demonstration will show and explain the principles and techniques for bringing a woman to a Full body Extended Orgasm. A lot of the principles and techniques to bring and keep a man there are the same. The differences will be addressed and explained (there will be no demo on male full body extended orgasm though.)

Cost: $20 - $35

Embrace your intuition by playing with Psychometry

Tuesday, July 18, 2017 at 8:00 PM to 10:30 PM

Intrahealth

21020 Homestead Rd # B,

Cupertino, CA

If you are new to intuitive work, this is the place to start. If you are an experienced reader, come on out and support the newbies!

Psychometry is reading the energy of objects. It is the easiest of the intuitive skills, and ANYONE can do this! We ask participants to bring a piece of jewelry which they tend to wear often, and which was not a gift. We put the objects in a basket, and no one knows who owns what. We then go around the room and have participants grab an object at random to "read" it. You'll be amazed at how much you can pick up just by holding it in your hands.

For those of you who still wonder if you are intuitive, this is an important first step. We take a different approach from most. Rather than having you focus on one specific way of reading energy (typically "visually"), we open you up to discover your unique way of picking up information. You may not be a visual reader, and trying to teach you that way would be frustrating to you. You may be an amazing emotional reader, or cognitive, or tactile... Let's find out! Let's show you how powerful you are in your innate skills then, later, if you wish to, you can explore the others.

What will we cover in this “Mini-Class”?

o Grounding (because grounding is always very important)

o There are many different ways to read energy

o The basics of Psychometry

o The actual practice of reading jewelry

Beyond its ability to open up your intuition, psychometry has many practical uses. Understanding how objects affect you can be very important. Knowing that environments can pull you off balance provides you with skills to protect yourself. Expanding beyond reading objects to clearing them makes "uncomfortable" jewelry easier to live with.

Psychometry can also give you a very personal connection to history. Image allowing yourself the experience of reading ancient ruins and coming to know what life was like thousands of years ago. Imagine introducing a teenager to the energy/experience of a parent they lost when they were young. Psychometry is also excellent prerequisite training for reading Auras and Chakras.

South Bay Burner Picnic - Theme Camp Speed Dating

Saturday, July 15, 2017 at 11 AM - 5 PM

Murdock Park

1240 Wunderlich Dr,

San Jose, California 95129

A summer South Bay Burner Picnic has become a tradition for the past several years. We’ve called it the BBQ-A-Newbie picnic, and it’s certainly a way for virgins to get some playa orientation. We’d like this to be a get-together for the entire community, too, and one way to do this is the proposed “Theme Camp Speed Dating”. No, it’s not about finding a hook-up hottie for the playa; the idea is to have many of our 60 South Bay Theme Camps talk to the newbies and match up campers with the type of playa camp that most appeals to them. We plan to also host a Costume Exchange (give a second life to your favorite playawear) and Camping Equipment Exchange (old coolers, outgrown tents, things you don’t use anymore because you’ve upgraded), and a Make-it-&-Take-it bike decoration station.

Schedule of events:

§  11:00am Start of the event

§  11:30am – 12:15noon Newbie-Workshop #1

§  12:30 – 2:30pm Tie-Dye station

§  1:00pm – 2:00pm Theme-Camp Speed-dating

§  2:30pm -3:15pm Newbie-Workshop #2

§  3:30pm Close of event (cleanup/Leave No Trace)

What to bring with you to the BBQ:

§  Something to grill or feed 3-4 people (plus whatever you need to be comfy)

§  Charcoal, Ice, Water/Beverages, snacks, bring your own cup

§  Loved-it-but-over-it playawear for the Costume Exchange

§  Gently used camping equipment for the Equipment Exchange

§  Info about your Theme Camp to share with the newbies

§  Don’t forget to wear sunscreen/hats to protect your beautiful self

§  Bring frisbee, games, dog, friends

Cost: Free
