Explore the tension of the moment before the kiss, without actually kissing.
There's a certain deliciousness when a kiss is prolonged. The sweet, sweet longing and exploration can be deepened when you know you won't kiss someone, but ALMOST. Come explore the magic and electricity that playing with the edges can bring! You'll get a chance to give and receive rejection gracefully, ask for what you want, and explore connection with others. No partner necessary, and no kissing allowed. Please arrive early or on time, as this workshop is capped.

Reflection, Discussion & Exercises to free ourselves from binary conditioning
Connection is our life-source. We have all suffered the illusion of separation and othering. In this cauldron we expand our minds and language to dispel binary conditioning. We learn what it is, how to heal it, and how to accept and expand our idea of self while at the same time becoming more inclusive and understanding of the folx of the in-between. Includes historical research, contemporary references, Non-Dual Tantrik philosophy, and modern psychological views and practices.

Explanation, Experimentation & Myth Busting about Tantra
Come to this workshop to learn more about what Tantra is & more importantly, what it isn’t. We will do experiential exercises that will involve all of the five senses. A neo-Tantra inspired Heart Connection Ritual will be part of this workshop where you will develop deep connections with other people. Things will get juicy when we do a blindfolded meditation in movement with each other where you rely only on your sense of touch. You will leave feeling rejuvenated, connected & more alive!
Come sing, chant & pray away the wounds of religion. Let's start a <3 revolution
Join us in a powerful, prayerful, joyful celebration of our innate divinity. No matter what religion or faith we come from (or none at all) we want to feel the connection to an energy greater than ourselves. How can we heal from the wounds of dogma and xenophobia? What beliefs can liberate, nurture and guide us to the highest vibration for our lives. We will meditate, pray, chant, dance and sing together and engage in a healing ritual that will release us from any shame and blame of the past.
