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.
The New Paradigm of Consent: Connect With Clarity - Luc Entheo
Consent can be more than just asking permission. Come practise expressing your desires and boundaries to bring clarity, ease, and confidence to your interactions.

Mutual Support Contact Improv - Jennifer McLeish-Lewis

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.

Wuji Qigong - Aya
Discover the art of embodiment and self-expression through Wuji Qigong, rooted in Taoist and Shamanic traditions. In this session, we’ll delve into the Chinese principle of ‘song’—a state of release and the ability to let go, both mentally and physically. Through guided breathwork, expressive movement, and a blend of dynamic and stillness meditations, you’ll have the chance to cultivate your energy (Qi) and explore new ways to practice surrender to receive more safety, pleasure, power, and love.
Breakfast
Eco Sensual Awakening - Sky Dorje
Recognition: The Joy of Being - Kara Leah
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.
Samavesha Ritual - Krista Nova
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
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.
Lunch
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
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
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
Introduction to Tantric Touch - Marissa Raj
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.
