Flogging can be a powerful practice, teaching us about the healing, non-dual space of oneness that lies between pain and pleasure. It can help us explore aggressive impulses alongside feelings of safety, love and care.
It can support us in healing old wounds and trauma, expanding our window of tolerance as well as step into new expressions of pleasure.

The workshop will include:

- Theory and knowledge about the practice of flogging.
- Effective creating a kinky scene : how to negotiate desires and boundaries with a partner
- Partner exercises to create safety while exploring light domination and submission
- We will create a kinky scene with a partner or partners allowing us to dive deep into the hidden parts of ourselves that lie within our sexuality and potentially hold space for healing.

This short workshop will include the possibility of nudity and sexual touch.
Participants will leave the workshop with practices and skills they can continue to develop on their own or with a partner.
Rope play
and bondage
A full-day workshop

Rope play and bondage will often be a tool for learning surrender. Not just surrender to the person tying us, but also surrender to ourself, and the entirety of existence.
It also helps us explore our relationship to control, which leads us to understand and face our limitations.
It can support us in healing old wounds and trauma, expanding our window of tolerance as well as step into new expressions of pleasure.

The workshop will include:

- Theory and knowledge about the practice of rope-play and bondage
- Creating a kinky scene : how to negotiate desires and boundaries with a partner
- Partner exercises to create safety while exploring light domination and submission
- Individual rope practice: you will learn basic knots that are the foundation of rope play
- In pairs or small groups, you will learn the skills related to tying up another person and holding space for their surrender.
- We will create a kinky scene involving rope play and role play, with a partner or small group, allowing you to dive deep into the underworld of your sexuality, and potentially hold space for healing.

This full-day workshop format will allow us ti dive deep into the exploration of our sexual landscape.
Participants will leave the workshop with practices and skills they can continue to develop on their own or with a partner.

The workshop workshop will include the possibility of nudity and sexual touch.

Consent & Boundaries


This will be a sex-positive space in which we will be able to explore our desires and also our boundaries.
Everyone will be responsible for their own body and will let others be responsible for theirs as well.
We will also be responsible for hearing and respecting other people's yeses and noes.
Rules on consent and boundaries will also apply to sharing spaces where everyone will be invited to speak only from their own experience and not that of others.
Everything that happens in this space and that is shared in the sharing spaces will be held sacred and confidential.


COVID and STI's

It is my intention for us to co-create a safe space.

If you have come in contact with someone who has tested positive to COVID prior to the course we will ask you to let us know and also present a negative test result prior to joining.

If you are experiencing any symptoms of COVID prior to the start of the course, we will kindly ask you to test before joining.

With regards to STI'S we will ask everyone to take care of themselves as they would out in the world.
About your facilitator

About your facilitators

Marc Peridis - Lead facilitator

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 combine talk therapy, with experiential processes involving the soma (the body), energy transmission and sexual explorations.

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 also teaches at the Shakti Shiva Academy based in South Africa, 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. 


Andy Gunn - Co-facilitator

Andy is a queer kinkster, tantrika, and BDSM educator with a fascination for what lies beyond our minds.
Not that the mind is all bad, it does a great job of protecting us, however, by design it also contains and restrains our potential, often manifesting this in shame, fear, or guilt.
Through BDSM practices, Andy helps create safe(r) containers to help release these energies in playful ways, allowing us to connect with our source, our power, and our bliss.
He teaches rope bondage for LGBTQ+, disabled, and neuro-spicy kinksters and has a keen awareness of power, intersectionality, consent, conflict transformation, and trauma-informed approaches.
Andy has also been known to say “Kink is not something you do, it is who you are” .
If he can help others find their truth, this makes him happy.
