Fearless Relating Panel.
Join Monique Darling, Peter Petersen, Rusty Stewart, Ashley Manta, Brynn Bishop, and Asttarte Rose Deva as we co-lead a question and answer portion of the evening. YOU bring the questions… We will do our best to answer each and every one. What are you dying to know about dating and relationships? About life? What has you super curious, but there never seems an appropriate place to bring up your inquiry? This Thursday night is your chance! Ask away! And allow some authenticity and vulnerability when we four sex geeks use our life’s journeys and wisdom and courage (balls) to answer anything you throw our way.
Sometimes all that is left is to scream your heart out… it seems no matter what you say you’re not being heard. No matter how clear you feel yourself to be, what comes out of your mouth makes no sense to the other side.
Come and explore with us how to hold difficult conversations, understand the different love languages you and your loved ones might have as your filter of giving and receiving love, learn to communicate what’s not being said in a way that will empower and connect you with others better. We will explore different modes of communication, verbal and non verbal… and different relating styles, open relationships, agreements, flirting, transparency — taking off your masks so that you can REALLY relate. Interspersing our favorite tools, and taking questions from the audience.
After the panel we will show you how blackbelt’s navigate the sexy negotiations, whether its to try out a fantasy, the first time you are having the safer sex speech, or you are negotiating a three or moresome, let the experts show you how it;s done, so next time it will be easier for you to just ask and create what you really want!
Next let Monique and Brynn lead you through a vulnerability circle where a room of strangers slowly opens up and winds up on the same page, and friends connect ever deeper having the opportunity to be seen, heard, and understood in ways maybe you have never even imagined!
It begins with a beautiful circle where you will be led through some heart opening communication exercises to connect within and with each other. Then we will go into silent connection exercise where you will get to meet one another beyond words, and finally we will finish up with some amazing connective exercises, that will leave you feeling expanded beyond believe and you will leave with your own knowing of how great connection can feel when held in such safe and loving container, where ALL of YOU is accepted, exactly as you are.
We will end with some music, meditation, and qigong by Peter Petersen to help you integrate everything you heard and experienced tonight.
