Celebrating the Body Erotic – 2012

A first step with the Body Electric School.

May 12th and 13th with William McMenimanSeptember 29th and 30th with Dave Allen

Come explore your erotic potential through the mind, the body and the heart using conscious breath, movement, process work and massage. When men take responsibility for their erotic education, they realize how much there is to learn about awakening the erotic energy that lies within all of us. They begin to realize the satisfaction that comes from learning how to both give and receive pleasure through erotic touch.

The workshop focuses on the entire body and is conducted in a setting that is playful, safe and honoring.

A few benefits of this work are: • The participant gains greater acceptance of himself as an erotic being, both physically and mentally. • He discovers ways to develop a more satisfying erotic relationship with others. • He becomes more aware of spiritual dimensions in his erotic explorations.

Celebrating the Body Erotic is a full two-day, often clothes-off workshop (9am-7pm) for those who are ready to vigorously explore new levels of feeling, both within themselves and within a community of men.

Completion of CBE is a prerequisite for attending the CBE Level 2, and Power Surrender and Intimacy, as well as most intensives, advanced workshops and retreats offered by The Body Electric School.

Emphasis is placed on reclaiming anal pleasure and play as wholesome, safe, and hygienic. Participants learn to give and receive external anal touch that both nurtures and energizes. Internal touch is also an option for those who choose.

Experience full-body sensations that open you to new depths of relaxation, pleasure and self-awareness. Learn new techniques that will satisfy and inspire those you touch.

All are welcome – whether you are a novice or experienced in anal touch. Celebrating the Body Erotic Level 2 is a full two-day clothes-off workshop (9am-7pm).

This workshop creates a safe space for establishing connection, exploring intense body sensation and expressing intentional physicality. Along with erotic touch, emphasis is placed on creating conscious intentions, learning how to know and ask for what you want, and practicing exquisite attention. Methods used include spanking, bondage, flogging and other methods of high body stimulation as well as reclaiming masculine icons for ourselves. Expect heightened awareness of your body’s capacity for sensation, a greater sense of personal empowerment, and appreciation for the connection between the divine energy of power and the human energy of surrender.

Outside the Boxes – Celebrating the Queer Body Erotic 2012

November 30th and December 1st and 2nd taught by Lizz Randall and William McMeniman

Your gender. Your body. Your energy. Your beautiful self. How often has the world tried to force you into the gender binary, asked you to assure it that your pronouns matched what it saw rather than what you felt, required that your genitals conform to expectations, demanded that you deny the complexity of all that is you?

What if you could come into a community in which all expressions were possible? Where gender, sexuality and expression were aligned according to your truth? Where no one assumed what parts would go where?

Welcome to Out of the Boxes: Celebrating the Queer Body Erotic!Come explore your erotic potential through the mind, the body and the heart using conscious breath, movement, process work and massage. Awaken the erotic energy that lies within all of us. Through a queer tantra lens, explore archetypal masculine and feminine energies and the myriad ways they can be expressed. Break down silos of gender and sexuality.

• This workshop focuses on the entire body and is conducted in a container that is playful, safe and reverential. Using carefully designed experiential embodiment practices participants will:
• explore the innate wisdom of your body • expand awareness, sensation and pleasure through conscious breath, movement, touch, and communication, where each person’s choices and rhythms are honored
• learn how to more deeply tune in to your body, mind, heart and spirit
• to receive more fully from yourself and others, and to give without losing yourself
• learn to give and receive full-body massage and to focus on the healing potential of sensual/spiritual energy
• learn from your own and others’ unfolding, and feel awed witnessing and supporting our uniqueness and commonalities

Out of the Boxes: Celebrating the Queer Body Erotic is a 2 1/2 day workshop (Friday evening, all day Saturday and Sunday), often clothing-optional, for those who are ready to vigorously explore new levels of feeling and aliveness, both within themselves and within a community of queers.

NOTE: Couples are welcome to attend Out of the Boxes: Celebrating the Queer Body Erotic and have the option of working together or with the other participants.

Dancing on the Ecstatic Path.

Bridging the Energy of Earth and Sky with the Energy of the Heart

A Two Day Exploration of Erotic Energy flow.

Dancing on the Ecstatic Path is a new exploration. Partnering with teachers from various traditions has been a goal of mine. In February of 2012, William McMeniman from the Boston area will be teaching with me. The workshop is two days of exploration.

The workshop will explore: touch, movement and breath while delving into an ecstatic experience. The exercises are designed to stimulate an introspective opening into the body and the body’s response to touch. Touch will take place in various positions and not always use the table. There will be some new levels of connection and communication explored within this Erotic Education offering. The workshop will take place over two days, from 9:00 am until 6:00 pm each day and will be held at the Metro room of the Ramada Plaza.

The fee is $300.00 for the two days. Registration is required prior to this event.
