Surfing The Flow: Embodying Yes, No and the Space Between - Bryce & Meigan

This experiential workshop focuses on feeling your internal signals clearly, your felt sense of safety, your clear yes, your grounded no, and the edge of your comfort. From here, we take it a step further into embodied negotiation in real time.

Through guided partner exercises, you’ll learn to surf the current between yes and no, exploring how safety, context, and clear conditions can reshape a no into a yes, how a yes can shift or solidify as understanding deepens, and how to stay connected while expressing desires, limits, and change as they arise. After all, most of life is not a fixed yes or no, it’s a living negotiation between the two.

This workshop is playful, informative, practical, and suitable for all levels.

Mutual Support Contact Improv - Jennifer McLeish-Lewis
Mutual Support is about giving and taking; action and receptivity. It’s about practicing being over top and underneath.

Noticing how the nervous system works most effectively when in an active yet relaxed state, we will cultivate more plasticity and range by staying alert and aware while maintaining grounding and containment.

Bringing the body into the present moment through breath, sound, and movement, we become available to offer support to our partners and to ourselves. A warm-up to feel gravity leads into facilitation of foundational skills, which help absolute beginners find their way. More experienced dancers will find new ways in, new perspectives, new challenges and new levity. Mutual Support is for all levels, ages, abilities, genders and experience levels. This is a workshop for humans who have a passion for learning, movement, creativity and imagination.

Recognition: The Joy of Being - Kara Leah
What if joy isn’t something you find but something you ARE?

Not happiness. Not pleasure. Not the good feeling you get after a great practice or a deep connection. Something prior to all of that. Something that doesn’t come and go.

The Recognition Sutras, arguably Classical Tantra’s most accessible masterpiece, teach that your deepest nature is cidānanda: the Joy of Awareness. Not a state to achieve. Not a peak experience to chase. The actual ground of your being. And because it’s the ground, it’s available in every moment, in every circumstance. Even the hard ones. Even now.

This workshop is an introduction & embodiment of that teaching, made practical. We’ll explore the nature of the Self and reality as the Recognition Sutras describe it, what recognition actually feels like in the body, and how to orient your whole life around what you already are. Includes seated practice, dharma talk, and Q&A. Come curious.

11:00 – 12:30
Samavesha Ritual - Krista Nova
Samavesha is a Divine Union, a coming home to the wonder of our essential nature. We often need to make space within to be able to access the greatest joy that we are capable of. The deeper that we can feel our grief the higher we can soar in ecstasy. This Ritual creates the space needed to embrace forgiveness and penetrate the innermost depth of your heart so that you may have a fuller capacity to experience the love that you truly are.

This Ritual will be guided using Panca Upcaras, Nyasa, Heart Medicine, Breath, Movement and Sound. This Ritual is often done with partners and the invitation is open to participate as a solo journey if that is your preference.

Exploring Masculine & Feminine Archetypal Pairings - Warren Hooley
This workshop is about seeing the power and fun of exploring masculine & feminine archetypal pairings. You will have the option to explore these pairings in either romantic or plutonic ways with other participants (your choice).

We will explore 3 pairings in this session, King-Queen, Warrior-Priestess and Magician-Maiden and also playfully touch in on the shadow sides of each. Come ready to explore your range and have some fun.

12:30 – 14:00
Lunch
14:00 – 14:45
Sharing Circles - Festival Hostesses

This gathering has been created as a community container to explore intimacy, relating, eros, love and consciousness. It is natural in these experiences that you need support and sometime to simply be with others to co-regulate your nervous systems.

The sharing circle gives you this chance to share with a group and create a feeling of mutual support. This is a place to drop in and feel at home. The circles are meant to be a place of nourishment and support.

15:00 – 16:30

ShadowPlay: Reclaim Your Hidden Power - Tany Sirtonski
What if the parts of yourself you’ve been hiding hold the key to your deepest aliveness?

Your shadow—the disowned pieces you’ve pushed away from conscious awareness —plays a big role in how you show up in life. It runs the show beneath the surface, blocking intimacy, dimming your vitality, and keeping your full expression contained. In this 75-minute immersive experience, we’ll journey into the shadow through archetypal exploration, embodied practices, and reflective journaling.

When we meet our shadow with presence and compassion, we reclaim what’s been lost and deepen and expand our capacity for authentic connection and expression. We’ll explore through the pillars of tantra, how to unlock what lives in the body—creating space for processing, integration, aliveness, and embodied wholeness. You’ll leave with: Embodied tools to continue your shadow work journey A deeper understanding of your shadow patterns The liberating experience of meeting yourself more fully and curiosity to see how much deeper you can go!

Come as you are. Your whole, wild self is welcome here.

Pleasure as Prayer - Aubrey Aurora
What if your pleasure was not indulgence… but devotion? In this guided ritual experience, we’ll explore self pleasure as a sacred act of communion with life force itself. Rooted in the principles of sex magick, this workshop invites you to work consciously with your erotic energy as a vehicle for intention, manifestation, and divine connection.

You’ll be guided through grounding practices, intention setting, breathwork, and energetic circulation before entering a personal, self-directed pleasure ritual. This is not performative and not partner-based. The focus is on sovereignty, inner attunement, and cultivating a relationship with your own arousal as prayer. Clear consent agreements and container-setting will be established. Explicit sexual interaction between participants will not occur; this is an inward-facing ritual space.

Come prepared to meet your body as altar, your desire as oracle, and your pleasure as sacred offering.

16:45 – 18:15

Shiva Shakti Breathwave Ceremony - Robin Clements
Breath is life. Join Robin for a ceremonial breath journey to honour the dance of Shiva and Shakti that we celebrate within every inhale and exhale. When we offer our pure awareness it is clear that within all of us lies the innate possibility of ecstatic union. Discover how conscious connected breathwork can bring reverence and unity to the marriage of masculine and feminine within.
Introduction to Tantric Touch - Marissa Raj
ntroduction to Tantric Touch

A step into the world of Tantra through touch.

Tantra Massage is far more than ordinary massage. Through various techniques, coupled with the guidance of shakti (the energy force) this practice can lead to quite incredible results.

In this workshop, participants will be introduced to foundational tantric principles that transform touch into a powerful practice of presence, awakening, healing, and perhaps even an energetic orgasm or two…

It is a dance of Shiva and Shakti. Becoming one through massage.

This practice is known for helping release physical, emotional, energetic, psychosomatic, and sexual blockages while awakening deeper sensitivity, aliveness, and intimacy with life itself.

The complete form of Tantra Massage includes Yoni and Lingam Massage. However, this introductory session will not include or demonstrate those practices.

In this workshop, you will:

* Learn foundational principles behind tantric touch
* Practice techniques to prepare the mind and energetic state
* Receive step-by-step introductory guidance
* Live demonstration of the beginning stage of Tantra Massage techniques

This workshop is for those wishing to explore deeper dimensions of touch, energy, presence, and connection through the tantric path.

*Note * this workshop is not of a sexual nature nor involves any nudity.
