This is a special edition of the Pink Play Party you know from Wilrieke Sophia – this time with famous guest facilitator Reid Mihalko (USA) who will offer an afternoon workshop for beginners ánd advanced!
** Energy Sex **
Explore Kundalini, the “Tantric Twitchies” and Vibrational Luvin’ Without the Woo-Woo! (with live Demos, too).
Remember that interview where the urban legend Sting claims to have sex for eight-hour stints?
If you or a lover have ever experienced post-orgasmic spasms or “twitches” after lovemaking, or feelings of heat and tension in your lower back, hands, neck or throat… You might be more energetic in your sex life than you think! And if you’ve never experienced those things but would like to, you might be pleasantly surprised how easily energetic sex is to grasp and play with.
Regardless of your tolerance for words like “chakras” and “yoni”… Or if phrases like sacred masculine and sacred feminine seem too restrictive… There is a non-New Agey way to understand and incorporate ecstatic experiences into your bedroom routine regardless of who you sleep with or how you identify. And guess what? It’s surprisingly fun, easy, and explosive!
Join Wilrieke Sophia and Reid Mihalko of ReidAboutSex.com for a workshop of frank, fun, and electrifying learning targeted at folks who aren’t New Agey. They promise to drop the woo-woo and leave their Sanskrit-to-English dictionary at home. And, for those of you who enjoy saying “Namasté” instead of “thank you,” they’ve got you covered, too!
TL:DR
➤ This event is a wonderful first play party to go to, ánd we recommend at least some experience in touch-centered workshops, like cuddle workshops, tantra, etc.
➤ Be aware that these spaces zoom in on your ease & challenges. You need to be comfortable with that.
➤ We will send you an email with practical information a few days before the event. make sure to sign up with your most used email address (when you have unsubscribed from our newsletter, our emails can’t reach you).
FOR WHO IS THIS EVENT?
This event welcomes folks from all walks of life. We are LGBTQIIA+ informed (Wilrieke and most of their team identify as such), slut-friendly, trauma-informed, and non-monogamy informed. White folks are overrepresented in our team and life experiences are colored through that lens. We do come from different social backgrounds and have different life experiences when it comes to health, wealth, neurodiversity, gender, sexual orientation, etc.
We welcome people with specific needs as much as able-bodied folks. Feel free to reach out if you have specific needs that you wish to share with us.
WHAT THE DAY LOOKS LIKE
The doors open half an hour before the starting time. Make sure to be on time! Once we have started we cannot let latecomers in!
ABOUT THE AFTERNOON WORKSHOP: ENERGY SEX
You will be introduced to:
* Resonance Play—Reid’s particular views on how s.xual energy “behaves” and how it “works,” as well as ways you can begin accessing more energetic awareness in the bedroom
* A way to engage with sexual energy that isn’t about gender or polarity.
* What Kriyas (“the twitchys”) can look like and what to do when you or a lover experiences them.
* Three possible approaches for engaging s.xual energy and expanding it when exploring energetic sex with a partner or solo with yourself
* How a wine glass and singing saw can expand your lovemaking and sexual prowess
* Simple breathing and “presence” techniques to build up energetic awareness
* How to use “pressure play” and where so you can help unlock and activate points on your lover’s body to augment energetic experiences during lovemaking
* A few advanced tips and tricks that will make you smile and your partner moan regardless of whether “the twitchys” happen or not!
Whatever your level of experience with sex that seems to be “more than just sex,” these humorous and informative instructions, sex education, and live demonstrations on this esoteric (and yet more common than you think) realm of energetic sex are not to be missed!
ABOUT THE PLAY PARTY
The play party starts with an intro talk about play party etiquette. There’s space for you to ask your questions.
We slowly start the program with dancing and some exercises again. This transitions into a free flow where you design your own experience. The team and I are available for support and inspiration – or a chat at the bar.
You can bring your own toys if you want, or try out some of our extensive spread of toys, safer sex materials, and more.
The space will have different zones with a theme, like a cuddle puddle, sensory play, a dance floor, and who knows what else! It’s a PINK event, meaning that underpants stay on and sexual interactions are not allowed. More info in the FAQ.
ABOUT REID MIHALKO (USA)
As seen on NETFLIX’ “Chelsea Does…” alongside Chelsea Handler, Reid Mihalko (he/him) of ReidAboutSex.com is an internationally known sex and relationship educator helping adults become the change they want to see in the bedroom by creating more self-esteem, self-confidence, and greater health and accountability in their relationships and sex lives. Reid uses an inspiring mixture of humor, personal stories, keen insight, and comprehensive sexual health information to change the lives of his audiences and clients.
In early 2018, some very brave people came forward during #MeToo sharing harms that Reid had caused them. Reid stepped down from teaching and initiated a restorative justice-based accountability process to address his misconduct and make amends if and where possible. The formal, year-long process along with Reid’s apology and resources were shared publicly and can be found at TinyURL.com/reidaccountability. Going forward, Reid’s projects and appearances will include pointing people towards resources and experts on restorative and transformative justice-based accountability processes.
Reid’s workshops and college lectures have been attended by over 60,000 people from all over the globe. His Youtube videos have been viewed over 5 million times. He has appeared in media such as Oprah’s Our America With Lisa Ling on OWN, NETFLIX, Montel, Dr. Phil’s The Doctors on CBS, Bravo’s Miss Advised, Fox News, in Newsweek, Seventeen, GQ, The Washington Post, and in thirteen countries and at least seven languages.
Reid is also founder of Sex Geek Summer Camp, Sex Geek Conservatory, and Sex Geek School for Gifted Sex Geeks, which help sex educators learn valuable business skills that allow them to reach more people with greater ease, transform more lives, and make a better living as sexperts.
