• "I'm no oil painting"

Meg Fenwick

Have you ever wondered what it's like to be treated like a beautiful piece of art, looked at and admired like a Monet, explored and moulded like the curves of a Hepworth or your skin painted like a willing canvas?

Come and enjoy a sensuous exploration of flesh. Offer as much or as little of your canvas as you wish. This workshop will guide you through a gallery of sensuous body as art activities.

Delight in becoming the artist and mastering the brush. Or lean back into receiving the warm oil strokes on your skin. Enjoy a guided sexy sculpture class where flesh becomes clay to slap, kneed, and manipulate. And the artwork is showered with adoration. Create solo or co-create consensual art in small groups.

Equipment provided.

• "Squeezing the Fruit"

Becky Johansson

It is a fun, sensual and erotic experience of interacting with fruit and vegetables using mindful sensory exercises and practises; opening the senses to experiencing the fruit through visual, touch, smell and play.

We do a collective exercise to support people into the experience and then move into a more open space where people are invited to interact and play with the fruit in different ways that maybe they haven't before.. to be explorative, for example using it to paint, exploring how it is to feel it with your feet.. to squash or to feel its impact on the body.

People may also wish to have it eaten off them or decorate each other with it and with consent and negotiation this may also be part of the workshop, the only limit is the imagination!

The workshop is clothing optional and people can explore solo, with a partner or with the group.

• Back to Sex- Reclaim the Joy of your Sexuality

Eva Weaver

This workshop offers gentle and powerful tools to help you to re-connect with your sexuality and your erotic self.

Sex is important, our birthright and most powerful life force. We will work with self enquiry, somatic exercises and group sharing using creative media such as free-writing, drawing, movement as well as breathwork and simple embodiment exercises.

You will find ways to uncover limiting beliefs and tackle obstacles, re-connect with your erotic energy and get to know yourself (again) as the gorgeous erotic, sexual being you are.

• Cacao Rope Meditation

Shadi   Love Dragon

This meditative cacao ritual allows for deep connection to the subtle life force energy field of the body through partnered sessions of serving and receiving rope contact and movement.

This is a playful yet sacred interactive workshop that can deeply activate powerful sensations of the subtle energy body, stimulated by drinking a small dose of ceremonial cacao brought from Guatemala.

Shadi is an experienced cacao practitioner and is accustomed to holding space for and guiding cacao rituals, while Love Dragon is a skilled dancer, body worker and facilitator of body-positive workshops all over Europe. Together they created this short and very empowering interactive ritual, very much about creating deeper awareness and presence with the subtle energies that the body creates when we deeply listen.

It is not a nude event but shirts or pants may be removed to create a deeper connection to the ropes

• Cunts for Fags: demystifying genital innies

Tessa Wills

An informative discussion and workshop aimed at queer humans (particularly gay cis men) who want to know more about 'cunts', and how to work them.

This workshop is the perfect opportunity for motivated humans to learn about vulvas, vaginas, clits, cunts, g-spots, inny-holes, bonus holes, cooters, tranny boners, clit boners, or whatever you call yours.

• Energy Genitals

Al Head

As well as physical bodies we have bodies made of energy and this includes one or more sets of energy genitals.

Our energy genitals may be the same shape or 'sort' as our physical genitals or they may differ. They may have a clear form as a cunt, a cock, or both; they may be a swirling, sensitive mass of energy; or they may be something completely different. They may morph and change spontaneously or at will.

We will start the workshop by working on our awareness of our energetic bodies. We will tune into, celebrate and honour our energy genitals and find consensual ways to introduce them to the group and to share their energy with others. We will spend time discussing boundaries and comfort levels around energetic touch.

We will finish with a group energy raise which will involve building energy through our energy genitals using breath, visualisation and/or masturbation of our energy genitals.

• Fire and Ice

LeatherHiraeth

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!

• Foreskin 4Play

Philippe Viney

The foreskin is integral to sexual play and pleasure, but is however a much misunderstood part of the human body.

This playshop focuses on the pleasurable aspects and elements that the foreskin is capable of. It’s an opportunity to understand this part of the human body a little better and to realise the potential for pleasure through practical demonstrations.

This playshop is not about circumcision or issues relating to circumcision.

• Healing touch

Noam Paz

Our hands hold deep wisdom of healing and communication. In this workshop we'll learn how to listen to the story our hands are telling, and how to touch each other on a deeper level than only the physical.

With a few basic massage techniques we'll learn how to bring relief, vitality, relaxation and pleasure, and to deepen our human relationships in a very natural and playful way.

• Love + Power

Amanda Gay Love

Is queerness a super power when it comes to sex? How does power intersect with our sex and sexualities, our genders and deepest longings? What happens if you amplify your Lovingness AND Powerfulness when you shag?

In this space we will deepen our relationship to power to juice up sexual connections with ourselves and others through using ancient and modern sexual practices. A safe container will be created to allow us to meet our most powerful sexual selves. Then in pairs you will be guided through a range of practices to help balance, extend and voyage with sexual power between you and a partner. Feel what it’s like to allow your sexual self to take up loads of space, deliciously yield to another’s mighty sexuality, experiment with archetypes, and explore the power of intense sensations.

This workshop is for folks with all levels of experience and curiosity and can be done fully clothed. You will be asked to work with different folks at different times, you may also bring a partner and work with them for the whole workshop if you choose to.

• May Your Wishes Come True

Zafire Vrba

The format for this activity is simple but delicious: Each participant gets to state their wishes, desires, favourite tools or impact, and the group will do their best to fulfil these requests or wishes.

The time will be equally divided between the participants. This is a magical opportunity to be witnessed, held, stroked, slapped, pinched, flogged, fucked or massaged by a whole group at once.

Before we play, we will begin with a negotiation with oneself and the group around consent and necessary boundaries.

• Sex Parties for Introverts

Ember and River

A 2 hour workshop to introduce people to the Sacred Sexuality Temple.

It’s designed for newbies, or people who would like to feel more confident using the Temple. We start with a sharing circle to discuss what the group wants from the space, and what it's scared off. We then use a series of games based on the Wheel of Consent to get people comfortable thinking about their boundaries and what they want, as well as to encourage sensual touch in a held and boundaried space.

While we’re not experts we’ve held this workshop a number of times at faerie gatherings and it’s been received well. We’ve also both been in the sex positive scene for a number of years and understand the important of consent, and of providing a safe space for people to explore their desires.

• THE BONOBO EXPERIENCE presents: The Squeal of Consent

Harmony  Maevon  Manon

The Wheel of Consent is a diagram that has been created by the sexologist and intimacy coach Betty Martin. In a nutshell, the diagram is a tool that can be used by 2 or more people before engaging in conscious touch or intimacy.

We have made our own Bonobo version of the wheel which does not use words but sounds, hand signals and other playful and primal methods. Our goal is to help you develop other ways to consensually communicate and also to understand and read each others body language.

• WRITING FROM THE EROTIC BODY- an embodied creative writing workshop

Eva Weaver

What happens when we bring pleasure to our writing and write from a juicy, turned- on place? And what if we bring our embodied writing back to movement, breath and selftouch?

In this workshop we will wake up our erotic/sexual bodies through movement, somatic exercises, meditation, breathwork and self touch, giving ourselves permission to show up fully as the beautiful erotic beings we are. We will tune into sensations and raise erotic energy, then take this juicy, delicious energy into free writing/stream of consciousness writing.

We will move effortlessly back and forth between paying close attention to our bodies and explore what happens when we write and create from an embodied and turned on place, then take this writing back into exploration with our bodies. No experience in creative writing needed.You can move as little or much as you like.
