PRACTICAL INFORMATION
DESIRES AND BOUNDARIES
Some parts of the course will be taught naked and some will include self-pleasuring and or mutual sexual touch. There will be no oral sex, penetrative sex. the focus will be on slow, present, erotic 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.
PRE-REQUISITES
The course is restricted to an intimate group of twelve men to keep the group tightly knit and allow everyone to have individual, focused time.

About your 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, 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.
