A selection of workshops related to Conscious Sexuality, that you can participate in at Nibana:
The Jealousy Experience
Offered by Roos
We'll look jealousy in the eye. In a held space we'll evoke feelings of jealousy via several exercises and explore which feelings lie underneath it. By gaining insights in our own emotional pitfalls, we'll be working towards self acceptance and a certain lightness when we meet our heavy hearts.
Introduction to Conscious Kink
Offered by Rosie
Conscious Kink helps us expand our understanding of our bodies, our subconscious patterns, our sexualities and thus ourselves. With a strong emphasis on boundaries and consent, Conscious Kink gives us a diverse set of tools that allow us to expand our sexuality, be more confident with our lovers and play partners, and become more empowered as self-aware erotic beings. During this workshop we will explore tools such as impact play, conscious touch, and holding space. While playing with these tools, we will slowly discover our own likes and dislikes, desires and boundaries, and ways to communicate about that.
Meditative Breath Play
Offered by Robert
This workshop starts with a meditative hugging ritual, also known as the super power mega turbo hug, to get extra relaxed. During the second half we'll work in groups of two actually practice breathplay. We're guided through a technique where with a gentle hand movement we can literally taking our partner's breath away. The intention is to give our partner a soothing, sublime time. And boy, it might surprise you how ecstatic it can make you feel to give away control over your breath. This workshop works well with strangers and is only as intimate as you both want it to be.
Flirting, using the power of consent
Offered by Klazien
Flirting. It can come natural. It can be terrifying. Let's play around with it. How do we connect with a stranger in a playful way? How do we do so in a way that we don't invade their personal space.
Poetics of intimate encounters
Offered by Pawel
We'll replace the verbal communication of an encounter with a tactile and sensory exploration.
Connective Rope
Offered by Rosie
Surrender is a great tool to let go of the pressure of every day life. Rope can be an incredible tool for surrender. During this workshop we will learn how to use rope to create a save place for our partner to surrender. No complicated knots will be taught. The focus is on connection.
Shiva & Shakti Ritual
Offered by Arja
A ritual that is done in pairs. We use our breath and are being guided through traveling up along the first five chakras. In each stage we express ourselves and connect with our partner in a new way. It is a beautiful journey of discovering each other through our senses. No experience is needed. You don't even need to know what a chakra is.
Relationship sharing group
Offered by Roos
A safe space in which a sharing and conversation on your relational wanderings take place. How to deal with jealousy, how to speak up for your desires, and how to do what you want and take others into account? Or share about any relationship subject that feels relevant to you.
Tantric Lovemaking 1-5
Offered by Arja
Arja offers five separate workshops where we learn to connect with our bodies on a very deep level. In the first, we learn about the perception, control & channeling of the sexual energy. Then, we learn about love and how to explore the heart as a gateway to deeper states of consciousness. Next up: presence. How do we increase our pleasure by being more present in the moment? The forth workshop is about transfiguration. This is a play of polarity between our masculine and feminine qualities. Arja's final workshop is about purity. We'll explore what holds us back to have an harmonious integration of sexuality. Arja's workshop are accessible to everyone and you're invited to stay true to your own desires and boundaries.
Sexual Archetypes
Offered by Rosie
We have been told so often that our sexuality is something to be ashamed of and for many of us this has become a truth. We hide parts of our sexuality in fear of being seen as a slut, or a freak. This is such a shame, because those parts of ourselves are often so very powerful and full of beauty. In this workshop we will reconnect with those parts through a guided meditation based on Archetypal work. So come meet your Inner Slut, Freak, Whore, Witch, Goddess, God, Pervert, Parent, or Other, and be ready for that beauty in you to be empowered.
Be the one
Offered by Pawel
An attentive and mindful encounter with oneself that helps us to better understand what gives us pleasure.
Playfight like a pirate
Offered by Robert & Klazien
We've all heard of 50 shades of grey. The topic of giving/receiving pain is ofter perceived as controversial. Well, it doesn't have to be all serious. This workshop is about using consent to enjoy pain! Enjoy pain? Yeah, you just might. We start the workshop with fun exercises to practice communicating our desires, trying to find our 'pain sweet spot'. The second half, we become pirates and beat each other up a little, hoping to find the location of the treasure! Expect a light, fun workshop, with plenty of laughter.
Intro to dominance & submission
Offered by Klazien & Robert
Dominance and submission. Taking control and daring to let go of it. They're interesting dynamics that affect all aspects of our lives. Becoming more conscious about these dynamics in intimate settings can help us to better understand ourselves and to connect with each other. During this workshop we learn about, and play with, some basic principles of dominance and submission. We'll learn how to play around with power dynamics, while making sure we don't cross each other's boundaries.
Yoniverse
Offered by Arja
During this workshop, we're taken on a journey to discover our yoni in a way we might have never done before. Yoni? That's fancy tantric slang for the vulva/vagina. This workshop is for yoni-owners only and includes nudity, to the degree that each individual person feel comfortable with.
