Peter Petersen and Monique Darling are SO excited to be bringing Laurie Handlers and Michael Gibson to San Diego for a weekend of depth and delight, hosted at the Pleasure Palace in Encinitas by Dave Palmer, and Debbie Armond.
We attach the word ‘sacred’ to any practice, experience, or way-of-being that slows us down and deepens our experience of being alive. Our sensuality is a manifestation and expression-of our vital sexual life-force and creative energy. It can play, move, and be shared and enjoyed in many ways.
Come with your desire to unmask the secrets of your heart.
Come ready to release those energies that hold you back from manifesting love.
Come explore ways to experience more joy fully in your life.
The four of us will provide a safe place where everyone will get to see each other with new-born eyes. Through sight, breath, touch, sound, scent, taste, guided visualization, conscious communication and energetic expansion, we will open our hearts to surrender into bliss filled ecstasy.
Only then will you begin to connect with wonder, curiosity, and utter awareness, celebrating the divine presence within us all.
Delightful fun exploring deep within ourselves and our reflections.
Join us for sacred exploration of this force in a fun environment! Tonight’s get-together includes extremely powerful boundary-setting practices, then exercises to help us bond, practice surrender, and play like children,
Dive deep into your senses. Tune in to your body. Integrate your playful and sensuous sides. Enter a world of visual delight, delicious aroma, mouth watering pleasure, sensuous touch, and healing sound. Dive deep into your authenticity. Extend your awareness and your ability to listen to your body. We will be leading us through paired exercises such as erotic feeding, sensation play on your body, (touching for YOUR pleasure) sound bath, fragrances to awaken your core being, The “bossy” massage ( tease and denial, learn how empowering it can be to really ask/beg for exactly the touch you would like ), AND so much more.
You will start the evening in an inner and outer circle, finding your own reflection within the people you come in contact with. Each new face will help you journey ever inward to find the places you are holding back and give you a chance to open anew.
Then you will journey from station to station, sometimes having one partner sometimes two, and you will all be led on a magical journey. Questions, touch, feeding one another dark chocolate and fruit, our emotions are tuned in greatly with how good our body is feeling at any moment. We invite you to let go, to fall in love with each person you meet on the night’s journey and eventually be dropped in so deeply in awareness and appreciation of YOU, that you leave having falling deeply and madly in love with yourself.
We finish the night with Latihan (a movement meditation for moving in the unknown) Laurie is famous for guiding this magical journey all around the world.
First let’s talk a little but about how NOT moving in the unknown is one of the most costly, invisible limitations that sabotage our lives.
Learning to move in the unknown is the OPPOSITE of being controlling. It’s the opposite of needing to be “Right”. Practicing moving in the unknown is the medicine for holding your body in knots and tension in your abdomen, anxiety in your chest, and clenching in your root.
Have you ever experienced any of those things?
Latihan is the practice of surrender in the most pleasurable way. It can be a daily, weekly or monthly practice by your divine self or with a partner.
Then we will finish the night with a sound bath, integrating all the new pathways to freedom and pleasure you found throughout the night.
