Erotic Mysteries Deep Dive

11-17 April 2022

Spitzmühle Berlin

A one-week Workshop for Conscious Kink, Sacred Sexuality and Erotic Rituals


 

✨Have you heard about Sacred Sexuality, Conscious Kink or Neo Tantra and wonder what these all mean?

✨Is it time for you to confront your own erotic shadows and come to terms with parts of yourself you may have buried down?

✨Would you like to learn a set of hands-on erotic skills that will enhance your love life and sex life?

 

Then join us for this Deep Dive into the Erotic Mysteries​

What is this workshop about?

The Erotic Mysteries are the mysterious and beautiful places where Sacred Sexuality, Conscious Kink and the Human Shadow overlap. What does this mean exactly?

In one sense, ​we’ll be exploring the esoteric mystery traditions. One common goal of many of these traditions is for each of us to fully embody our full potential as powerful erotic beings. In other words: one purpose in exploring The Erotic Mysteries is to help us see through all of the illusions and mental programming and to remember who we really are and fully step into our power.

This is not a ‘love and light’ workshop. Often to step into our full power we need to embrace the full filth and shadow of ourselves. As such there is a high kink content to this journey. In a practical sense, ​the Erotic Mysteries are about creating safe and conscious ritual spaces where we can take time to look within, explore what we find there, integrate those things we find and come out more self aware and empowered. 

With a strong emphasis on boundaries and consent, Conscious Kink gives us a diverse set of tools that allow us to expand our sexuality, be more confident with our selves and others, and become more empowered as self-aware erotic beings.

What will be covered in this workshop?

Conscious Kink is important to our exploration of the Erotic Mysteries as these tools allow us to explore any fetishes we might have in an empowering and nurturing way. We may explore what it’s like to engage in impact play (e.g. using physical pain). We may create scenes where we find out what it’s like to serve another person for a while and in turn to be served. Conscious Kink also allows for our darker erotic fantasies to be explored, and for this reason a large part of the workshop is geared towards learning common tools for asserting boundaries and ensuring healthy methods for gaining authentic consent. 

In this workshop we cover many of the tools of sacred sex and ​conscious kink​ ​in a ritualised content. The goal of ​exploring the Erotic Mysteries are to create powerful erotic states with spirituality and to create spaces of deep learning. We light a proverbial candle, turn inwards and face our own shadows that we have, up until now, suppressed. We embrace our own light and our own darkness in order to understand ourselves and explore together in service to each other. We use erotic techniques and guided journeying to reclaim those parts of ourselves otherwise lost. We explore our own inner worlds leading to places of power, self-love and ultimately greater self-knowledge.

In summary, we will focus on: 

  • Consent, Desires & Boundaries 
  • Clear Communication for negotiating touch 
  • Impact Play
  • D/s dynamics 
  • Consensual non-consent exercises 
  • Archetypes and how to use them in erotic spaces 
  • Creating Erotic Rituals for oneself and others 
  • Tools for Aftercare and Selfcare
  • and more 

Please note: This is an intensive ritual / deep dive and we expect to host many breakthrough moments for people on the journey of self-discovery. 

The Erotic Mysteries​ can be a set of powerful tools for healing trauma, but the movement towards healing is at your own pace. We provide the tools, techniques and a safer space. It’s important to note this isn’t therapy but many people find healing within these sets of practices.

Whilst we expect a high erotic content, all of your personal boundaries will be honoured and nurtured at all times. 

Who is this workshop for?

This is a general level workshop. Whilst we expect some practitioners to be there, this is not practitioner training. We are always excited to see who will join us for the training. It is important to create a diverse, interesting, and engaged group. You don’t need to be fully advanced with bodywork or sex-positive spaces. Nevertheless, we recommend being comfortable with the basics of consent and having had some exposure to sex-positive / kink spaces. If in doubt please get in touch so we can discuss options. 

This event is open to adults of all genders, sexual orientations and relationship formations. Exercises will not be paired/grouped by gender. If you wish to attend with your partner(s), please let us know. 

We will be having brief online interviews with people hoping to attend to make sure we both feel there is compatibility to work together.

FAQ
This is all very new to me. Will I be out of my depth?

This is a general level workshop. Whilst we expect some practitioners to be there, this is not practitioner training. You don’t need to be fully advanced with bodywork or sex-positive spaces. Nevertheless, we recommend being comfortable with the basics of consent and having had some exposure to sex-positive / kink spaces. If in doubt please get in touch so we can discuss options. 

Do I need to attend with a partner?
No. You can come on your own and explore techniques with the many other wonderful people in attendance. You are welcome to attend with your partner if that is your desire. Please let the organiser know when booking. (All boundaries are honored and great communication coached and supported.)
What is this about scholarships?
We have a limited number of scholarship places. Scholarships are by application only. Please send a max. 3-min video or a email to us explaining why one of these scholarship places should be yours. (All content will be treated confidentially and will not be shared outside the team).
How sexually explicit is the content?
The exercises vary from energy (no physical touch) to deep intimate, sexual journeys. No particular sex act is ever mandatory! Consent and boundaries are an inherent part of every exercise. We have a high safer sex standard and encourage conversations about this in each exercise. You might see other interacting in a sexual, erotic way and you need to know that is welcome in this space. Erotic exploration is the purpose of the event so please only register if exploring and reclaiming your sexuality are intentions you have. Sexual activity is never obligatory for any participant in any particular exercise.
We try to create a safer container to welcome all emotions and triggers that come up during the week. We encourage all participants to take a break from the program, when it’s needed.

 

What shall I wear?

There is no dress code at this workshop but it’s certainly best to wear something clean and fresh. Wearing fun clothes can be good too – so some people like to dress in a way that highlights their Eros and makes them feel good. If you are looking for a general rule, I’d just wear something comfortable and easy to move in.

I’m a single man, can I come on my own?

Yes, absolutely! We are not doing a gender balanced workshop which means we’re not going to be strict in the pairings in the exercises and it wouldn’t be fair to guarantee a partner of a particular gender in each exercise. That’s just not how it works. 

Please explain what the exercises are.

The exercises are specially formulated to maximise safety and connection first and foremost with yourself then with the other participants in the room. Seani is an expert at reading what a room needs and doesn’t give a play-by-play of what is going to happen. Indeed, the exact exercises are subject to change depending on what the room needs in each moment. Having said that, we will certainly be starting with exercises that ensure everyone in the room is empowered enough to communicate their consent and express our boundaries. That’s the most important thing. We’ll also be exploring powerful ways of holding each other so that we all feel safe when we start to ‘surrender’ in certain activities. There will almost certainly be impact play of some kind which is a consent-driven powerful way to explore many kinks. Most importantly, there will be some exercises that enable us all to access Eros within and thereby step into our own power.
