Erotic Leadership for Femme Folx
Hosted by Melissa Tofton
In a world where the abuse of power is no surprise, it is more important than ever to learn how to transmute pain and power into healing mechanism. This workshop will seek to allow you to explore your erotic sovereignty and agency through a variety of exercises and discussions. You will lean how to do sexy and profound things with notions around power and will seek to turn BDSM into a healing modality as a way to reclaim your erotic domain.
You will learn how to self define and embrace change whilst making space for a more creative way of connecting - beyond genitals or gendered ideas of what sexuality usually looks like.
The Erotic Leadership workshop will show you the ways we can change patterns & physical memories of powerlessness into visionary action & courageous, impassioned activism. This is safe space to observe, explore and transform your inherent relationship to power. You will learn how to communicate your boundaries, both verbally and nonverbally to invite greater surrender and trust and will lastly normalise communication around desire and consent.
This workshop is for those that self identify as femme.

Dirty Talk: From teasing to Audio erotica
Hosted by Lola Jean
In this workshop you will learn how to make your own audio erotica or recorded sweet nothings as a means to not only up your dirty talk game, but to arouse yourself as well. The only bounds to our sexual creativity is the imagination, learn how to ignite and foster it!
There is a wide spectrum of dirty talk both in context and content. There’s a big difference between “tell me what you want to do to me” versus “tell me how filthy I am.” Audio erotica can range from meditations to living out fantasies, to one that are completely non sexual. It is up to us what we find erotic or pleasurable. Wether you want to improv it up or plan out your audiogram for that special someone, there are infinite avenues in this realm of the senses.

Mens Sharing Circle
Hosted by Joe Friday
Within the confines of cultural structures that we often encounter, it can be quite a challenge for Men to find open and supportive discourse in a public setting. This circle is open to anyone who identifies as male and would like to explore what can open up in nurturing positive masculinity in a safe environment, and welcomes anyone new to men's work.
It is completely confidential and extremely rewarding. It is a space that is consciously created by all attending and based around the principles of confidentially, active listening, no deflection with humour and speaking from the “I” to help everyone own and connect with what they are expressing. By sharing authentically and from a place of vulnerability, we give permission to those we are sharing space with to do the same allowing us to feel supported and heard.
