2020 Workshops announced soon! The 2019 Workshops are included below.
Desires, Fears & Boundaries
Facilitator: Naomi Prema Devi
What are your Desires?
What are your Fears?
What are your Boundaries?
Learning to communicate your authentic desires, fears and boundaries is essential if you wish to create a healthy foundation for any deeper, clear and clean interactions with another. During this workshop we will explore these powerful questions as stepping stones to learn more deeply about ourselves and others. This workshop will be experiential and interactive.
The Sound of Ecstasy
Facilitator: Krista Nova
Sound is a key to awakening a higher intelligence within us. The power of sound can influence us at a very deep level, reveal the energy within us and amplify the movement of the energy in our body in a most ecstatic way. Sound is an essential and invaluable element on our orgasmic journey. This workshop emphasizes the exploration of sound to encourage us to become more expressed in life. Sound is an invitation to express the seemingly inexpressible. This is an investigation through the somatic lens of perception. This playful workshop will combine breath, movement and sound to explore heightened states of human expression at its finest.
Elemental Touch
Facilitator: Naomi Prema Devi
Discover how you can work with the elements through touch. During this workshop we will explore different forms of touch using the elements of Earth, Water, Fire and Air. Discover how to give and receive touch fully and find out which elements resonate with you and which ones you resist.
The space will be held in a safe, fun, exploratory manner and is open to anyone who feels the heart calling.
Heartgasmic Puja
Facilitator: Krista Nova
This is an invitation to an ecstatic experience. This workshop explores the potential of a Tantric Breath journey. Discover the simplicity in the mystery. The alchemical container of inner alchemy is awareness itself. Combining awareness, breath, polarity and various other key ingredients we shall discover deep expansion and awakening of the heart and the energy bodies.
Transfiguration Ritual
Facilitator: Naomi Prema Devi & Krista Nova
This Transfiguration Circle is a chance to honour the Divinity within yourself and within each other. This Ritual is an act of devotion and allowing the Divine to stream through you from that place in you before time. This is an invitation to cherish every perception. This practice cultivates the Tantric Vision of recognizing Spirit reality in everyone and works with the polarity of Shiva and Shakti.
The Tao of Energy Circulation
Facilitator: Minke de Vos
When we breathe together and touch with loving awareness, we open channels of subtle connection. We will welcome our energy to circulate in harmonious, natural flows through our bodies. We will practice Ovarian or Testicle Breathing. Toning with sound, we will raise Qi through the pumps along the spine. The Microcosmic Orbit is the basis of Taoist energy circulation. This alchemical orbit multiplies the energy between people and entrains our energy centers. Learn how to harness and refine sexual essence to cultivate more love, light and life-force in your relationships and your life.
Presence & Pleasure:
Exploring your Erotic Sensual Nature

- Your arousal states as gateway experiences to learn about the self
- How to penetrate through your senses
- A new relationship with your sexual energy
In a safe, attentive and fully facilitated space Tziporah will guide you to explore in an organized format, various consensual interactions. Like a finely choreographed erotically playful dance you will be given reference points for personal relating with presence and pleasure. Your relationship with your sexuality is like a dance, and you will benefit by learning to trust this part of yourself. When you pay the right attention to it, your sexuality becomes an awesome communication conduit to your most authentic self.

Into-Me-See:
The Path of Vulnerability, Intimacy & Relationships
Facilitator: Trevor Warren and Jenna Card
One of our heart’s deepest yearnings is to come into profound intimate communion with all that is…to become one with a lover as an expression of the divine union. On route to this greater intimacy, we all have places where we stop short of exposing ourselves fully for fear of being judged, hurt, or abandoned. Vulnerability is an essential key to connection and when we resist showing all of ourselves we block the flow of intimacy and ecstasy.
Join Jenna & Trevor as they offer a clear road-map for moving beyond your blocks and powerful practices to cultivate loving acceptance, vulnerability and intimacy.
Tibetan Tantra Elemental Practice
Facilitator: Tashi Dorgi (Adam)
In this workshop you will learn how the elements are incorporated in Tibetan Tantra through a powerful Tibetan Elemental practice. This workshop will discuss the five elements and how they support balance in relationships.
We will also look how to incorporate Mainstream Buddhist practices into everyday life as a way to support intimate relationships.
Adam’s workshops will offer opportunities and insight for how you can integrate Tibetan Tantra & Buddhist practices into creating and holding space for healing and transformation. Oh and we will laugh and have some fun too!
The Power of Deep Listening
Facilitator: Tziporah Kingsbury
Have you had times when what you share barely touches the surface of what your soul wants to communicate? Do you experience a fear of being judged, holding back your authentic self?
Deep listening is one of the most potent parts in communication and intimacy yet it is so often missed. We are so quick to judge, compare, analyze, seek approval or project our own story onto what someone is sharing that we overlook deeply listening. Come experience this warm blanket to the heart and soul – the gift of giving and receiving deep listening, developing your presence and compassion.
Through this experience you will:
• Create greater connection to a deeper self and to your partner
• Develop awareness of where you project your story/ideas/opinions
• Learn your unconscious habits around being vulnerable
Dancing with Attraction
Reclaiming Intimacy on the Dance Floor
Facilitator: Jasper Sircus
The Dance Floor is a powerful metaphor for Life. How we dance and relate to one another on the dance floor is how we dance and relate in every other moment of the day. Thus, learning, exploring, and practicing HOW to connect on the dance floor is actually one of the most practical and important things we can do to change the way we relate to those around us and the world. It also has the known side effect of creating Community!
In “Dancing with Attraction”, we will explore themes and techniques to get us comfortable and excited to dance with a partner, a lover, a friend, or even a stranger… in a way that is comfortable, fun, illuminating, and authentic. Inspired by my experience and knowledge in Contact Improvisation, Yoga, Somatic Awareness, Boundaries, Consent, Communication (verbal and non-verbal), Breath, Clowning, Parenting, Being in a long term Committed Relationship, and Everyday Life.
Whether you want to be able to dance sexy with your Beloved, or you want to know how to make close friends on the dance floor, or anything in between and beyond… this play/workshop has ALOT to offer in the way self awareness and relationship both on and off the dance floor. It will expand our ideas of “intimacy” and it will instil a sense of “Home” on the dance floor. It will show us our “Edges” in relationship AND it has the known side effect of igniting a far more embodied sex life!
There is no “right” or “wrong” way to dance here and no prior experience needed… we will be developing a compass to tell us how connected we are to our body and the other… and that Connection is what everyone wants deep down, so how it looks doesn’t really matter.
Intended for couples AND those that are single! We ALL have attractions and we ALL have a dance within us that wants to be expressed… so it’s about time we explore how to dance confidently with Attraction
Sexual Anxiety & Ejaculation Control
Facilitator: Ryan Thomas
In this workshop, Ryan will dive deep into blocks that prevent men from experiencing multiple, non-ejaculatory orgasms, how to experience them, and what their partners can do to help support them along this journey of increasingly powerful orgasms. Although this will be catered to men, women are welcome and encouraged to come and join for some coed exercises.
Ryan’s expertise is in removing the blocks that get in the way of experiencing sex to it’s fullest potential. Whether you struggle with lasting longer, or you just want to learn how to experience non-ejaculatory orgasm, you’ll get something out of this session. See you there.
