Event Details

Aghora Tantra “By that which one falls, by that shall one rise.” Aghora means “without fear.” In this workshop we will discuss some of the more extreme Tantric practices in which social and personal boundaries are consciously crossed for the purpose of spiritual evolution. Tantra recognizes that one pathway to opening up higher consciousness is through shocking the system. Practices such as piercing, meditation in cremation grounds, and imbibing of mind altering substances are traditionally practiced. Along with these traditional rituals, we will discuss ways in which the Aghoric approach can adapted and employed in modern, Western society. We will also discuss the often misunderstood fierce aspects of the deities, Kali and Shiva

 

Authors of Tantra for Erotic Empowerment, Mark A. Michaels (Swami Umeshanand Saraswati) and Patricia Johnson (Devi Veenanand) are a devoted married couple and have been teaching Tantra together since 1999. Their approach combines traditional lineage-based Tantra with the best contemporary methods so that students can bring heightened awareness and an expanded capacity for pleasure into all aspects of everyday life

Passion 101 Classes @ Sexploratorium



The mission of PASSION 101 Classes is to provide interactive, educational and entertaining learning experiences that enhance the abilities of individuals, couples and other intimately acquainted persons to understand sexual techniques, improve the dynamics of relationships/intimacy, practice useful methods of sexual communication, maintain and improve spiritual/physical/sexual health, and to develop and appreciation of diverse sexual expression through performance and creation of fine arts.

Since 1996, Passion 101 classes have been offered weekly at Fetishes Boutique, Aphrodite Gallery and now at Sexploratorium as well as at regional and national conventions.

Presentations can be scheduled at your community organization, private party or student club by appointment. Remote presentations require a minimum of two students, but private one-on-one consultations can be scheduled in the Aphrodite Gallery of Philadelphia.

Course topics can be tailored to meet the needs of students by request. Students are encouraged to provide feedback via surveys distributed during each class.

Current curricula focus on four major areas of sexuality:

  1. Anatomy/Physiology/ Sexual technique
  2. Relationships/ Psychology/Communication
  3. Psychosexual Fantasy/ Fetish/ BDSM technique
  4. Erotic Fine Arts /Performance/Exercise

Some individual classes that fall under these categories are offered for specific audiences: i.e. women only, couples only, men only, trans only etc.

Our presenters do not act as sexworkers or surrogates: We will coach you on techniques and strategies for a better sex life, but we won’t play the game for you or with you.

Check our upcoming course schedule of workshops scheduled at Sexploratorium and other locations in Philadelphia.
