Lets talk about Sex Magick

Hosted by Victoria Redbard
The body is nurtured and revitalised by ecstatic states regardless of the source. Sex in general has the ability to drain your life force or alchemise your potency depending on what you do with that surge of magnetic energy when it moves through your body. When you work with Sex magick alone or with a partner, you encourage the slow building to nest into the magnetic field so that it doesn’t exit the body as quickly as it comes into the body. To nestle inside of the magnetic field that is building up around you (and your partner in partnered work) you must continue to allow the energy to flow through the heart.

For those new to Sex Magick this can be a challenge, as they find that the erotic energy dissipates as it moves away from the genitals. With this talk Victoria will teach you what you need to know to get started with sex magic!

This workshop runs from 9pm - 10pm

Wednesday 3rd June

Holistic Partner Pulsing

Hosted by Kim Gorchs
In a world where touch is seen with a sense of skepticism we can come together with our partners in a way that recognizes the healing power of touch. Holistic Partner Pulsing is a very intimate, sensual practice that allows the pulsee to fully let go and relax. While the pulser is able to enjoy facilitating a pleasurable, comforting experience for both partners. Compared to many other modalities used to enhance intimacy in romantic and sexual relationships, pulsing offers a technique that is easy to learn and demands no expectation to achieve anything other than the aforementioned benefits.

In this workshop you will learn what Holistic Pulsing is and how to gift your partner with the comforting experience of being held and loved. If you are isolated alone you can still attend and use the preparatory exercises as reflection time and the guided pulsing session as a relaxing meditation, but you will get most out of this by attending with a partner.

Mini Sex Club: Love & Lust in Lockdown

Hosted by Sex Club
Sex Club is an open and non-judgemental facilitated space to talk about everything around sex and intimacy.

There isn’t the physical space for date nights, flirtation with strangers in bars, or getting deeper with those we love in all the ways we are accustomed to. So we want to open the doors to talk about what this is bringing out of us, the creativity, the difficulty, the frustration and the joy! We want to welcome all of your love in lockdown experiences, from sexting with strangers, finding your favourite porn, sending love letters, learning dirty talking, missing those we were just starting to get to know, and exploring the possibilities of zoom.

Sacred Rage

Hosted by Celeste Pomegranate
Rage is one of the most misunderstood and suppressed emotions of our times. Growing up, we usually don't get to have the experience of someone showing us how to navigate ourselves when angry or activated. The result: Millions of grown-ups walking the earth, secretly resenting each other and not knowing how to get over it. But rage is more than that. Just as any other emotion, it is energy, it is life force.

In this workshop you're not only going to learn how to communicate yourself in your anger, but you're also going to learn some tools that will help you transmute your rage into pure life force (and maybe even pleasure?). Creating a safe expression for yourself in connection to this energy, is one of the most empowering experiences you can have. Please make sure to wear comfortable clothes and have some pillows around.

Charmed School - Unlocking your inner Sex Witch

Hosted by Dion De Rossi
The witch has long been celebrated, feared and punished as a symbol of sexual power and femme/female autonomy.

In this workshop we will learn a little about the history of sex magick, help you tap in to your own sexual power and cultivate your personal sex magick rituals to create positive change in your life through orgasmic power. Come live your teen witch fantasies in my queer and trans inclusive Charmed School and unlock the sex witch within!

We will learn the connection between the five senses, mental health and sexual arousal, explore the ways in which activating the senses can support increased mood, improved body image and better sex, and identify techniques to engage the senses during daily life and sexual experiences.

Sensual Rope Flow

Hosted by Sophia Rose
We often like to think about rope as an extension of touch, the things we can communicate with our hands, we can communicate with ropes. We could be playful, intense, sensual, comforting, invigorating, artistic and much more. So, how do all of those things feel? Using a combination of tension, speed and pace we can say different things to our partners (or our own bodies) through the way that we tie and interact with the body. What does slow and heavy say vs. light and fast? What do you want to say with ropes?
 
In this class we will explore some of these sensory pleasures of rope bondage and think about how the way we tie, move, and touch, will communicate different things. No rope experience is needed – just an open mind and preferably one or two ropes! This class can be done with a partner or also solo tying on yourself. If you don’t have rope but would still like to participate you can use some sort of “rope like” material – anything basically to tie with and get the feeling of what we will be doing.

Thursday 25th June

We can feel our embodied consent and this workshop will teach you how!
