TOGETHER WE WILL…
Gather as brothers in a sacred, intimate, and safe space
We will learn to open up to more erotic pleasure
We will explore the shadows of sexual pleasure, learn how to voice our desires and boundaries.
Most importantly, we will explore receiving eros as a deeply transformative practice that can impact every area of our lives.
OVERVIEW:
Receiving erotic pleasure is much more than simply having better sex.
It can also be a deeply transformative process to benefit every part of our lives including money, career, friendships, health issues and general wellbeing.
Our standard societal narrative has taught us that giving is noble and honourable, and receiving can be selfish and inconsiderate.
These deeply-embedded belief systems have created a model in which it is easy to end up depleted, drained, disconnected from the flow of life.
This can also often be amplified by shame patterns rooted in feeling like we are “different” and could not be loved for who we truly are.
We can often turn to consumerism, addiction patterns, codependency etc, as a way of seeking nourishment and “refilling our tanks”.
But these are only temporary solutions, and can often leave us even emptier.
Receiving eros can be a medicine for all of this.
WHAT TO EXPECT
In this intensive, in-person, full-weekend workshop, we will gather as a group of sacred brothers to share a deeply transformative journey centred around the theme of receiving erotic pleasure as a spiritual practice.
We will begin with a candle-lit opening circle on Friday evening at 6:45 pm and end with a closing circle on Sunday at 6pm.
The workshop will include the following:
- Heartfelt sharing circles in which challenges can be witnessed and processed
- Individual meditative body work practices
- Partner work
- Group work
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
The teachings will revolve around the 5 stages of the mystery school process:
1- Discovery:
We will begin by using somatic movement therapy practices to explore the transformative power of our physical bodies.
We will learn elements of breath, sound, movement and touch to re-awaken oneness and wholeness in our bodies.
2- Inquiry:
We will explore the shadows of sexuality relating to receiving pleasure including
Shame, guilt, unworthiness, old patterns, as well as desires and fantasies that can make us uncomfortable.
3- Empowerment:
We will explore how Eros can expand beyond pleasure to also awaken a deeply transformative power within us
4- Embodying:
We will explore guided practices, individually, in partners and in groups to truly receive and embody the power we have awakened.
5- Integration:
We will explore how we can integrate these learnings into our daily lives.
EVERYTHING IS WELCOME
This is a safe space for exploring every aspect of our selves, from our darkest shadows to our greatest gifts.
The more we bring our full uncensored selves, the more we can thrive and expand, as a ground and individually.
Participants are also invited to reflect on fantasies they may have always wanted to try, and are welcome to bring any accessories that may relate to these.
WHO IS THIS FOR
This workshop is all levels.
People who are interested in deep transformation, who are serious about their spiritual journey.
It is probably not a match for people who are simply interested in increasing sexual pleasure.
There are no pre-requisites, however it is highly recommended to watch the videos of the website as this may differ from other types of tantra you may have experienced elsewhere.
CONSENT AND BOUNDARIES
We will be creating a safe space to explore our desires and pleasure, and the priority will also be on respecting our boundaries and limits.
We will start the workshop with making agreements around consent and learning practices to safely voice and receive requests and boundaries.
COVID SAFETY
All participants will be asked to bring a covid test to be taken on arrival at the start of each day of the workshop.
This applies to all participants, regardless of vaccination status.
COST
£325 – early bird, limited to 6 and available until 09 February 2022

ABOUT YOUR FACILITATOR
Also known as the Orgasmic shaman, Marc is a somatic and shamanic therapist specialised in supporting radical transformation with the power of the orgasm. He defines transformation as the return to the truth of who we are.
He spends most of his time teaching his own practice, Orgasmic Shamanism, which uses energy work and spontaneous movement to harness the energy of the orgasm for spiritual growth and personal transformation.
His approach is often considered radical and his passion lies in transmuting our deep and most shameful shadows into our highest and most transformative power.
In 2013, he completed the Authentic Eros 1-year tantra and sexual explorations training with Kai Erhardt and Volker Moritz in Berlin.
He has taken Buddhist refuge under Tharig Rinpoche in Kathmandu and is also a mystery school initiate and guide; initiated into the mysteries in 2012 and initiated as a shaman in 2014. He has spent the years following his initiation travelling the world leading ceremonies, and workshops at some of the world’s most powerful sacred sites.
He has completed the 20 levels of the path of the sexual shaman training, by Arizona-Based sexual Shaman Kenneth Ray Stubbs who has been his mentor since 2016.
He is also a trained facilitator in theta-healing, emotional freedom technique, and Reiki as well as a somatic movement facilitator.
His work of orgasmic shamanism emerged from his years of working with tantra, somatic movement and energy transmission work. He is passionate about providing a radical and integrated approach that supports clients and workshop participants in their journey to empowerment, higher purpose and limitless creativity.
