Welcoming Ritual

(A Neo Tantra Ritual) with Kim Keller and Ray Cohen

In this ritual, we will be blessing one another with a playful and prayerful energy.  This uplifting and transformative meditation is designed to heal, awaken, and open the energy system of one another. We will stand in a circle and engage in meditation, sacred touch and verbal sharing techniques.

By sharing this experiential ritual together, we gain greater understanding of Tantric principles and practices. We will each get a taste of the possibilities of the deep intimacy and passion that this spiritual approach to love brings. Designed for couples and singles, our welcome event will bring you into a deep connection with yourself, with others at the festival, with the intention of this gathering, and most importantly, with the unified field of conscious loving.

Science of Arousal

With Kim Keller
All welcome

What is arousal, and where does it come from? With the use of visual aids and dialogue, we will gain new understanding of the biology of arousal in human bodies.  Kim offers a detailed tour of the inner workings of the both the vagina/vulva and the penis, and an understanding of all the beautifully blended varieties.  We will explore how our genitalia are alike, how they are different, and the “secret” to finding the promised pleasure from these centers.

This is the sex education course you wish you would have received in high school.  Combined with the neo-tantric wisdom of energy, flow and full body connection, new ideas, attitudes and activities abound!

Creating Community/ Healthy Boundaries

with Gwenn Cody and Ray Cohen
How many of us say “yes” to things we don’t actually want out of guilt or a fear of losing connection?
In many ways, “no” is the most daring and intimate response possible. If I can hear your “no”, I can trust your “yes.”
We’ll practice the skills of self-awareness, transparency, and non-attachment, which help us find the space of mutually desired connection that is available with each person. We tend to look at boundary setting as ways we cannot connect and rarely see them as having real potential for deeper connection.
This workshop’s intention is to free us up to have boundaries without judgment of ourselves or others. It is also designed to help us embrace diversity, and difference and creatively interact with it authentically. An important and fun orientation to our basic guidelines on relating to each other during camp.

If you are a new participant, this is a required event so we are all on the same page!

ECSTATIC Chakra BREATHING

Yoni Massage and Ritual

With Ray Cohen

Everyone Welcome

Sacred Pelvic Healing Massage for Yonis
(demonstration on female bodied work)
This is a unique, slow and penetrating touch on the pelvic area, which most people have never experienced. It is relaxing, nurturing, healing and pleasurable all at once.  This work draws from the techniques of sacred spot massage, Orgasmic Meditation, cranial sacral work, facia release, Rivers of Love bodywork, Taoist energy healing and cultivation, and deep tissue and acupressure bodywork. It is wonderful for healing any issues around sexuality, shame, or body image and for expanding our capacity for aliveness, pleasure, juiciness and full body orgasms.  This approach to pelvic massage was developed by Amara Karuna.  We will watch a demonstration and answer questions.
