A weekend intensive course,
Unlocking the hidden power of your erotic landscape.

OPEN TO ALL MALE-IDENTIFIED BODIES - PORTLAND, OREGON - NOVEMBER 18-19 2023

Slide
What?

Sexual energy is the most powerful energy available to us. 
It connects us to our source, our truth, and allows us to unearth our deepest shadows. 

This workshop is a process of self-discovery and personal empowerment;
A somatic and shamanic deep dive into two of the main medicinal aspects of sexual healing : Eros and Kink.

How?

We will explore these aspects through (1) short lectures,
(2) somatic, shamanic and erotic practices which will be individual, with optional partner and group practices
(3) Sharing spaces for emotional processing and integration.

For who

This workshop is open to all male-identified bodies of any sexual orientation, age, body-type and race.
It is intended for facilitators who are looking to develop new skills, for those who are advanced practitioners wanting to step into a facilitator role, as well as practitioners who have a willingness to dive deep and explore every aspect of the self. 


Slide
Eros

Our first aspect is The Medicine of Eros. Eros is the process behind the creation of everything. It connects us to oneness, our source and to our truth. 
Its medicine comes from knowing that this force exists within us and is available to us at all time.

Desires

The second aspect is The Medicine of Desires and Kink.
Kink encompasses the wide realm of desires and fantasies that deviate from the norm. These unique and creative parts of ourselves can often carry fear and shame, but they also connect us to our truth.

OUR MAIN QUESTIONS:


How does sexuality connect us to the source of life within us? 

How do we channel its energy for healing? 

How do we become a conduit for oneness and source for others?

How do our fantasies and desires show us how we can become more whole, and connect us more deeply to ourselves? 


The centrepiece of the weekend will be a deep dive practice in which participants will be free to choose to focus more on the realm of eros or kink.

✔ THESE WORKSHOPS GENERALLY ATTRACT

✔ Facilitators who are looking to develop new skills
✔ Those who are advanced practitioners wanting to step into a facilitator role
✔ Practitioners who have a willingness to dive deep and explore every aspect of the self. 


✗ IT WILL LIKELY NOT BE OF INTEREST TO PEOPLE WHO
✗ Are simply looking for a group pleasure practice
✗ Who are seeking to learn tantra massage techniques
✗ Who are seeking sexual experiences limited only to the realm of ecstasy and bliss

- PS: I have no judgement about any of the above, I simply feel that those seeking these aspects will be disappointed by this workshop.

FAQ : How sexual will it get? 
Consent and safety 

✔ We will create a safe space first by establishing ways of voicing consent and boundaries.
✔ As your facilitator I will be responsible for maintaining the sense of safety of the group container.
✔ Each participant will also be responsible for their own body, for respecting their desires and boundaries.
✔ Nudity and self/mutual touch, including genital touch will be welcome, however they will not be compulsory. 
Each participant will be able to decide “how far” they choose to go. While everyone is invited to meet their edges, you will never be asked to go beyond your limits.
✔ Partner practices will be part of the workshop but are not compulsory.
✔ Pairings will be randomly assigned. Therefore participants choosing to participate in partner work must be open to interacting with anyone. Participants however will be able to choose the level of interaction they are comfortable with in any moment, ranging from eye-gazing to more explicit touch and interaction.
✗ Penetration and oral sex will not be allowed.

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.
