A fire and ice ritual, ordeal path workshop.
An ordeal path in spiritual kink is a practice which has a spiritual intent, and which creates a state of altered consciousness by subjecting the body and mind to an extreme experience or sensation. Working with the body's biochemistry, we will create a state of altered consciousness, using wax and ice to stimulate extreme sensation.
Working in pairs, we will each create a personal intent around the ritual. A Ritual Ordeal is a test, designed to serve a purpose: to face a fear, overcome past trauma, create positive intent or to explore a perceived limit.
In this workshop, we are able to safely explore our darker areas and gain insight to deeper levels of ourselves, learning to go beyond our limiting self beliefs in a safe supporting environment. Part temperature play, part work of art, wax play is as simple as it is sexy. Coupling the heat of wax with the cold sensation of ice, you have something that approaches a simple ordeal path.
We will cover safety, prepping your partner and play space, candle selection, temperature and splatter control, and how sensation play can run the gamut from sensual to more extreme. This workshop is for anyone wishing to explore kink as a spiritual practice from beginners to more seasoned players. There may be nakedness, depending on where you want your wax! Bring a partner, or choose a partner from the attendees - your choice!
