• Stretch Your Capacity to Enjoy and Change!
• Explore and expand your capacity to fully receive pleasure
• Broaden your spectrum of pleasure to be a more full body experience
• Use the entrancing power of pleasure and the transformative power of ritual, affirmations and visualization in a potent combination!
• Create new imprints in your subconscious about connection and abundance!

Let's lift up our pleasure ceiling!
Working in rotational triads, we will weave a wonderful web of connection, with singing, sounding, movement, conscious touching, snuggle meditations, hair brushing, hand or foot kissing, and massage as possibilities.
You will get a turn asking for the kind of pleasure you want, while at the same time hearing affirmations that you have designed for your partners to repeat to you.
You will connect with friends of all genders in a series of guided rituals that encourage you to be fully present as you share tantric energy practices, with consensual touch, eye contact, breathing, toning, massage, meaningful conversation and more.

This is a fully clothed, sensual event. Please arrive well rested and clean.
This is a sober event, and please refrain from using artificial perfumes or scents.
Please bring a blanket or a pad to lay on, so we have lots of cush!

What people say about this event:
"Expertly facilitated, transcendent, healing. Amazing energy exchange" - Lollie Soul

"Transformational Pleasure Puja:
One of the more potent ritual affirmations experiences I have had. Combining sensual physical activation with positive statements affirming what we want more of in our lives, or what we strive to be, was brilliant. It was made more so by having two people caress us while reading our own affirmations back to us."
Bruce Bartlett, Portland, OR

She is the author of "Heartbeat Nurturing Therapy- Healing Our Hearts Together”
In 1989, she developed her own approach to peer counseling, called Holistic Peer Counseling integrating counseling with spiritual meditation practices, psychic healing, breath work and body centered techniques.

This is a chance to learn to give and receive nurturing to the pelvis, perineum and genital area within a context of safe therapeutic sessions, which can be exchanged between partners or friends.
The focus for this event is to create a warm, loving and safe space for exploring sexual healing and pelvic release massage in an experiential way.

This is very deep work that touches into our core channel energies, and can bring up strong emotions and be very transformative.
It is wonderful for healing any issues around sexuality, body image and for expanding our capacity for aliveness, pleasure, juiciness and full body orgasms.

If you are interested in deep healing for your body, becoming a better lover, and taking your physical intimacy to another level, then you will find Blissflow a beautiful experience.

When we are in highly aroused states, our physiology changes radically. This shift can be a gateway into health and healing. When these erotic energies are channeled correctly, profound changes in physical and emotional health can occur.

This workshop will consist of erotic bodywork that includes touching the whole body. The massage strokes run along meridians and muscle fibers, and are slow and deep. These long strokes along the limbs and torso are combined with a steady, slow arousing touch with the hands, for a little journey into heaven. It does not involve any fluid sharing, only touch with the hands and chest.

The emphasis is on treating our bodies as a sacred temple, using continuous, flowing strokes, which move the energy throughout the body, leaving you both relaxed and energized. It is not so much about learning detailed techniques as it is creating a feeling of flow.

This work is a simplified version of Rivers Of Love, a style developed by David Bruce Leonard, but does not require a protective plastic sheet. The pattern of the work on a male or female body is different, taking into account the difference in sexual energetics.

###### "Being in the presence of such loving luscious sensual beings felt so natural and arousing. The energy in the room was electric, which made it that much more arousing. I was in an altered state after leaving the house. Thank you so much for sharing your gifts with us.” - Rose L.

*
The instructor will demonstrate these techniques, and the participants will be guided in practicing with their partners.
This event is for couples. If you are single and are open to working with someone new, you can get on a waiting list, and meet with others beforehand to see if it's a fit. This is a very intimate class, but there is no fluid sharing.
You must be physically able to give a full body massage, from a seated position. Be comfortable with an erotically charged group environment.
All couples will remain together throughout the event. Our focus will be on healing our physical and emotional bodies, and on bringing more pleasure and joy into our lives and greater connection with our partner.

Participants need to be comfortable with group nudity and sexuality. We will be touching sexually with our hands (with our partners only), but there will be no intercourse.
