CENTER FOR SEX AND CULTURE

1519 Mission St.
The Center for Sex & Culture

There is an energy that informs Eros whether light (flowing, Tantric) or Dark (impactful, Ceremonial). Power & surrender. Sensation & inspiration. We will be discussing how to tap into these energies, and techniques to bring them into your play or rituals.

Cross cultural history & mythos, that includes BDSM practices, will also be covered including Hades & Persephone, Ereshkigal, Kali, and Lilith.

Whether your desire is to bring BDSM into the sacred, OR the sacred into BDSM there is something for you in this workshop.
