*Wednesday October 17, 7-9 pm -- ORGASMIC BREATHING

Would you like to experience an orgasm from breath alone?
Do you notice and derive pleasure from your breath?
Do you want to enhance the ecstasy and fulfillment of partner sex safely, freely, and at any time you choose?

Come experience breath like you've never known it before. Together we will learn a series of different breath practices that you can continue to explore and integrate into your erotic life long after you leave this workshop.

Using breath, sound, and movement, we will bring attention to the erotic energy  that our bodies are capable of producing at any given moment. You will learn how to build that energy, increasing it throughout your entire body. As each of us expands our erotic energy, we will envelop ourselves in a group erotic vibratory force field, which will grow and expand, raising higher and higher, until it peaks into a group energetic orgasm.

*Tuesday October 30, 7-9:30 pm -- TAOIST EROTIC MASSAGE FOR MEN

Experience the power of sacred sexuality in this hands-on, clothes-off workshop.

This 2.5 hour workshop will focus on the male as receiver. Men must attend with a partner. This workshop welcomes givers of any sex/gender identity.

We will practice a series of conscious breathwork techniques and Taoist erotic massage, which can lead to extended, full-body orgasm and an altered mind-state conducive to spiritual insights.  Honestly, if you're looking to get off, this isn't for you - this is a spiritual, erotic, non-ejaculatory practice that stimulates and spreads erotic energy throughout the body. It is very hot, but it isn't sex as you normally think of it.  

After the introduction and demonstration, we will practice the breathwork, and you will be guided through a series of different genital massage strokes. Participants will then have an opportunity to give or receive a 40 minute massage with integrated breathwork and coaching. There is no sexual interaction between the giver and receiver except for the massage itself, and all boundaries will be respected.
