In the Name of Sex
Exploring Sex and the Iron Pentacle.
"Sex is not a doorway leading to something else." Cora Anderson
... Our bodies, minds and spirits have been de-sensitized. Our sex has undergone a de-sacralization. Through the use of all five senses and all three souls, we will Re-sensualize and Re-sacralize our Sexual Selves. Praise be the taste of raspberries bursting on the tongue! Praise be the scent of sandalwood burning on the altar! Sing Hallelujah to textures of silk and leather. Can I get a Witness to the majesty of cool water and heated breath? Sing praise songs to the convulsing creative force from which all that Is, Was and is Yet to be moans, sighs and weeps in an unending dance of surrender and will.
This seven week online intensive workshop will take us deep into our personal Sexual Nature and that of the body of God Herself in whom "we live move and have our being." Starting with foundational questions and practices, we will dive deeply into the sexual/sensual Nature of all that is, making of ourselves a living prayer for Sexual Potency. We will explore how Sex connects to and intersects with the other points on our Iron Pentacle—Self, Passion, Pride and Power—informing and shaping the whole while also being forged by them. Iron Pentacle is a dynamic and powerful tool used for diagnostic exercises but also for healing and empowering the Witch and --through us-- the world we live in.
IN THE NAME OF SEX is a celebration and affirmation of our sexuality, our bodies and the "base" chakras which are concerned with safety, security and tribe. Expect it to be juicy, dark, lascivious and unapologetic. That said, everyone participating should be committed to co-creating a respectful container within which to discuss all manner of sex-related topics.
Come! Dance the knife's edge into Sex!
