Orgasmic Ecstatic Healing Workshop

Orgasmic Ecstatic // Healing Workshop Working with the sacred medicine of Ceremonial Cacao we co-create a safe container opening the possibility to activate and explore our sensuality, sexuality and orgasmic energy. After grounding in, explaining boundaries and consent and connecting as a group we explore our personal blocks to pleasure through guided prompts. Uncovering ways to empathise and integrate these within ourselves and together. With our deeper intentions clarified we have a short break before transitioning to movement and embodiment. Anna-Lisa opens with sensual flowing sounds & beats and a lightly guided warm up to drop into the body and free form dance movement. Once we are in a connected state Shanti leads a guided erotic embodied meditation to facilitate you on an individual inner journey welcoming all aspects of you without judgement or expectation to 'get' anywhere, allowing you to follow your own unique path of pleasure and arousal, and welcoming integration of your exiled parts. Connecting with breath, sound and movement you have the opportunity to explore and expand your bliss, vitality, natural flow and Divine intimacy, and to create a sense of belonging. From this state of embodied pleasure we flow into a final sensual and spicy ecstatic dance finale to journey with your awakenings and liberate your passion. After rest and integration there is a sharing circle and grounding meditation to close. This is a collaboration between Sexological Bodyworker Shanti Penelope and Ecstatic Dance Facilitator & DJ Anna-Lisa Drew Everyone is welcome!! This is an inclusive space of non judgement, innocence, creativity and play.
