3 Circles Ritual 2 November 2024 Melbourne

Exploring powerful embodied practices that you can take away and use to expand your erotic capacity, create more intimacy and connection in your life and access more sensation and pleasure. 3 Circles ritual provides a powerful opportunity to increase your sense of self-acceptance and love, as well as gain confidence in setting boundaries with others.

In this embodied ritual we will explore 3 states of being: 

Stillness – the realm of being, holding space and witnessing; 

Awakening – the realm of waking up the body – shaking and stretching, laughing and screaming, self-massage and dancing, breathing and self-pleasure; 

Ecstasy – the realm of safe, consensual, communal erotic embodiment.

The 3 Circle structure embodies authentic consent.

Participants move freely and fluidly from one state to another allowing their own sexual energy to lead and guide them. Experience the freedom to be human and the deep intimacy that comes from a group erotic experience. This is a clothing optional workshop. 

Please bring a sarong and a towel or 2 towels to lie on.
