ABOUT
What gets us hard, wet, excited, gives us an indication of what we resonate with, and who we are in our truth.
Every act of sexuality is an act of seeking wholeness.
Our desires and fantasies show us what we are seeking to be whole.
To be whole is to heal and to grow.
KINK?
A kink is defined as anything that deviates from the norm.
Our kinks show us our creativity, our uniqueness. They also show us the areas of our life that are seeking to expand and to be un-shamed.
They explore the edges of our comfort and allow us to expand beyond our limited self.
The power and impact of our erotic expressions expands well beyond sex into every area of our lives.
A desire to surrender to a lover can often actually be a yearning to surrender to ourselves, or to all of existence.
A desire for pain, can often be a yearning to understand pleasure and love in new and deeper ways.
Kink, desires and fantasies can help us understand what limits us and how we can become more empowered in every aspect of our life.
This is conscious kink.

DESIRES AND BOUNDARIES
The workshop is taught naked and includes mutual sexual touch.
While partner work is part of this practice, this is first and foremost an individual process.
Partner work is merely a tool to achieve a deeper connection to our truth and our essence.
There is no obligation to interact with other participants.
As well as focusing on desires and pleasure, there will be a strong emphasis on holding boundaries and consent. We will begin by exploring ways to voice our “yeses and noes” in a way that is clear and compassionate. Participants will also need to be open to interacting with people they are randomly assigned, while respecting their boundaries and those of others.
WHO IS IT FOR?
This workshop is for all participants that identify as men of any age, race and body type. It is for participants who are interested in exploring spiritual and erotic practices on a journey of self-discovery. It will not be of interest to people who are simply seeking a play party, or to “get off” as a group.
PRE-REQUISITES
No experience is necessary.
This workshop is perfect for advanced practitioners as well as complete newbies. This practice may differ from other tantra practices you may have encountered, therefore I do recommend that you watch some of my videos to know more about this practice and ensure it resonates.

ABOUT YOUR FACILITATOR
MARC PERIDIS
Marc is a somatic therapist and shamanic practitioner specialised in the Medicine of eros, healing practices related to eros and sexuality.
His work has two main focuses:
1- Supporting the transmutation of shame, trauma and shadow to power, purpose and mastery.
2- As a teacher's teacher, he trains facilitators, therapists and teachers by supporting their development of new abilities.
His practices, which are often considered radical, combine talk therapy, with experiential processes involving the soma (the body), energy transmission and sexual explorations.
Interactions can range from gentler ones including soft touch, cuddling and conscious stillness to more radical ones such as dark-room therapy, and re-enacting kinky, taboo and shameful sexual scenarios in healing and conscious ways.
Today, he shares his work through 1-1 sessions, online and in-person, residential and non-residential courses and workshops, and online live and pre-recorded courses.
After spending over a decade training in somatic movement therapy, energy work and sacred sexuality, his own practice emerged as a result of his years spent observing behavioural responses in 1-1 and group therapy sessions worldwide.
As well as being a trained somatic movement therapist, he has also been initiated into shamanism in 2015 and in the Mystery School as a student in 2013 and a guide in 2018.
He is also senior faculty at the Shakti Shiva Academy since 2021.
While his process and practice are open to people of all levels of experience, he tends to work mostly with advanced practitioners, people who are keen to become facilitators, and facilitators wishing to develop new skills.
