Healing With Kink & The Intimate Shadows

Healing With Kink & The Intimate Shadows

Healing With Kink & The Intimate Shadows, a conscious transformational workshop to feel better, connect deeply with yourself and others and free your spirit!

Many of us are intrigued by ideas of the intimate shadows, of uncovering what is stopping us from connecting, feeling, opening, loving, being sensual, enjoying sexuality, giving and receiving and feeling worthy of in-depth fulfilment, along with expanding our boundaries of erotic adventure.

This three-day journey is for everyone regardless of experience, orientation, age (must be over 18), beliefs, gender, or background.

Everyone is at choice and people are gently supported to make those choices that are right for them without judgement or pressure.

You do not have to be exhibitionistic/voyeuristic, kink-aware, polyamorous, naturally confident, and potentially sadistic or masochistic to attend or even want to try anything along those lines.

This is about your intimate journey and may look nothing like anyone else’s.

We create a safe space for magical fulfilling experiences with a focus on intimacy, connection, and the mysterious and powerful ‘dance’ within and between ourself/oursleves.

Such explorations can be powerful and extremely beautiful explorations of intimacy, and unfold a healing journey around blocks to self-acceptance and full self-expression.

The workshop will be held in a private location in lovely rural Victoria north of Melbourne, just one hour from the CBD.

9 am Friday 12 May – 5 pm Sunday 14 May 2023

Testimonials

“I did the healing the intimate shadows workshop with Phoenix and Robin. I got a lot out of it including learning about communication and boundaries in relationships. I liked how the workshop was very experiential so we could practise everything we learned. Some parts of the workshop were also a bit out of my comfort zone which is where the real growth happened and I could feel myself getting closer to my authentic self. Phoenix and Robin were highly skilled, and compassionate and also knew when to challenge me. I would highly recommend them.”

Thank you for the wonderful workshop. The progression through the day was smooth and each exercise had its own purpose and lessons. It was great also to be able to provide feedback after each, in pairs and as a group. The honesty, while sometimes confronting, was essential and always heartfelt.

It was amazing to see the room filled with positive vibes through the day and everyone opening to themselves and others.”

“The greatest benefit was in reclaiming shadow parts of self such as desires I’d been ashamed to own or experience. It was juicy, revealing, confronting and challenging.
I learn about myself at a much more accelerated rate through erotic work than I can in counselling or in self-development workshops.”

“The main benefit has been integrating all the parts of me into my manifest self-expression. About union. Inner unity. Being able to fully explore depths and darkness makes space for me to taste my raw self.

“I experienced a deep curiosity, as though some ancient part of me knew this practice and wanted to taste it again. In retrospect I was hunting for my edges, yearning for a way to express my sexuality/sensuality with intention.

I had always wanted to feel into the darkness surrounding my desires, to be completely seen within a sacred space.”

“I am now far less afraid of emotions such as awkwardness and guilt after being free to sit with them and have them witnessed without judgment. I’m more confident in interacting with my environment. I love myself more.”

“One huge benefit was developing clearer boundaries with others in my life through being able to speak up for what I wanted or didn’t want.

Also, I found a diminishment of erotic ‘shame’ or embarrassment especially when it comes to asking for what I want, and appreciation of being alive in a woman’s body and the joy that can bring.”

”I’ve come back into my power, loving myself and my body once more.”
