Monday is the day for our monthly "members meeting" ... every month I host some event designed to promote embodiment, connection and erotic liberation.
This month's event is another erotic shadow play event - where you learn to play with and master the aspects of yourself that have you playing small, in bed and in life.
What's an erotic shadow?
Here's an example. One of my erotic shadows is my inner awkward teenager. She's insecure and walks through life feeling like no one wants her. She's never had sex before and she walks very stiffly and often has a slouched, shy posture. She's always picking at her fingernails. I recently got to play with this shadow by inviting myself to embody her during a visit to a local bar with some friends. I found myself talking to some people that I didn't know. I said "Hi". Then I didn't say anything else for a while. Then I said "I just want people to like me." One of the people responded by telling me that I had a disarming smile. My vulnerable and awkward share actually brought more authentic connection! This felt so liberating to me! I felt like I was walking on clouds at the end of the night - just from leaning into a part of myself that I usually repress and hide. This is why shadow play can be so fun!
At Monday's even, I'll be hosting and my dear friend Adam Chacksfield will be facilitating this event - this is a special treat! He is also the one who led the amazing Playing in the Dark retreat this Fall. It was so successful, we already have another one scheduled. Hope to see you there on Monday!
