The etymology of the word erotic comes from mid 17th century: from French érotique, from Greek erōtikos, from erōs, erōt- ‘sexual love’. It is about relating to or tending to arouse sexual desire or excitement rather than having penetrative sex, which is not a focus of the workshop. During the workshop you would be introduced to another way of approaching your sexuality through rituals of conscious play. We, together, will create a safe container for exploration. When we were children we played a lot, different role playing (princes, witches, doctors, animals etc), and various games. However, when we grow older we suddenly become more serious, stop playing as we perceive it as something infantile. But, it is not.

Now, as adults, we have the bonus and understanding to play with our sexual or erotic energy, and consciously and safely use psychological power dynamics which we did not have a clue about they were existing when we were children.

Erotic rituals

''I believe in rituals, and I deeply enjoy them. I believe that rituals slow you down in your busy life. They make you more conscious, enhance your focus, and increase your level of attention.''




The whole day will be consisted of 2 themes:


1st Dancing With a Flogger

We will learn how to safely handle the whip, authentically connect with each other, give and receive physical impact, as well as to learn the chemical process that happens in our body during such play. It is not about blood or hitting as hard as you can. These are only images inflicted by mainstream medias. It is a conscious massage ritual. It is an elegant and graceful dance, which is about connecting to one another through a different medium, which, in this case, is the whip, an extension of your hand.



2nd Dancing with a Rope & Cane

Deepening trust to your partner while working with ropes and canes in an improvised, playful fashion. No skills are needed. Learning very simple beginner knots, how to use them on oneself and on the other. Rope and cane are another extension of your hand, therefore the ways you can touch will expand.



Curious?

Come and find out for yourself. In this workshop we will use a sense of slowness, safety, humour, playfulness as we dive into exploration of these profound and omnipresent dynamics. We will work in pairs, trios, and as a group. You do only what you want to do. There is not coercion of any kind. The most important thing is you have to feel comfortable. In this workshop all is based on mutual consent. Nudity is optional.


Please, note, this workshop is not a therapy, although such practices might have also a therapeutic nature. This workshop is an introduction into conscious, erotic, safe, psychological, emotional, experiential, bodily practices.

Who is it for? All sexual orientations are welcome, singles, couples, different religions and ages, (min 18years old)

What to bring? comfortable clothes, your lunch (Fruits and nuts will be provided). If you have your own flogger, ropes, canes bring it. Otherwise, there will be some provided too.
