In this Spore conversation, we will explore The Future of Love in all its facets, from breakthroughs in evolutionary psychology around the origin of current mating patterns to the potential for elevating eroticism by restoring a sacred and Tantric dimension to relationships. Tantric practices seek the union of opposites to dissolve boundaries between Self and Other to realize divine love and non-duality.

The Art of Tantric Sensual Touch (Last Call!)
Sunday April 29, 3-5 pm
Shag
108 Roebling Street, Broolyn, NY
Come explore the art of Tantric sensual touch!
While most traditions ask us to renounce our body, our senses and pleasure, Tantra is the path of expansion, encouraging us to find connection through our physical experience instead of around it. Similar to alchemy, it teaches us how to transform our every day experiences into ecstatic encounters with everything we come across.
So what does this have to do with sex? Simple.
In Tantra, we recognize that pleasure is one of those things that blur the boundaries of where ‘I’ ends and ‘Not-I’ begins. We utilize it as a tool because, as we open up to pleasure, we also start becoming aware of the ways in which we are blocked to receive it. Those pesky areas where we learned we are not worthy of it.
You want to get rid of those doubtful and judgmental voices in your head? The ones that are keeping you from a life that feels like everything is deliciously juicy and moan-worthy?
Join us in this fun experiential playshop, where you will learn how to use Tantric sensual touch techniques to…
- Explore what brings you pleasure
- Learn the real meaning of giving and receiving
- Practice setting boundaries to create a safe space for exploration outside of your usual comfort zone
- Bring awareness around your reactions to your interactions with others so that you can be increasingly more open to receive the intimacy and ecstasy that is your birthright
We specifically designed this playshop so that you can take the tools you learn and continue practicing on your own.
All exercises will be practiced while clothed, and there will be no sexual contact during this workshop.
Sliding Scale Fee:
Pay what you choose: Singles $20 – $35
Couples: $30 – $60
Registration Deadline: Dec 2
Please call SHAG at 347.721.3302 or register online
NOTE: The focus of Naked Wellness will be changing soon, so it is likely this workshop won’t be offered again (or not in the same way anyway). If you’ve been wanting to attend but haven’t been able to, now is your chance.
Shake it all OFF! [Active Meditation for Those Who Cannot Sit Still]
Thursday May 10, 6:30 – 8:30 pm
Location TBA
Back by popular demand, I am offering the Kundalini Dynamic Meditation through the Outta Your Mind (And Into Your Body)! meetup. The meditation will be followed by sharing our experience with the group.
This class is a kind of active meditation specifically designed for modern life and people who cannot sit still. Comprised of 15 minutes of shaking, 15 minutes of dancing, 15 minutes of stillness (sitting or standing), and 15 minutes of silence (shavasana), this meditation is a really amazing way to start or end our day.
Shaking off self-doubts and limiting beliefs, we get lost in your body so much that you stop thinking. We sink into our body, our senses, and become one with our experience.
Because it’s both invigorating and relaxing, this meditation is a really amazing way to make room for inspiration because once those doubts are removed, creativity flows. And it feels pretty good too!
Cost: $15
Ongoing
There are no ongoing workshops at this time.
