Renowned sex educator Dossie Easton returns to London this November
Dossie Easton, the renowned American pioneer and sex educator, returns to London this November to lead workshops in open relationships and kinky tantra. Dossie Easton is the co-author of six life-changing books about sex, including The Ethical Slut, The Bottoming Book and Radical Ecstasy. Since the early 60s Dossie has lived and breathed open relationships - as someone wisely put it, "Dossie wrote the handbook". In the last few years Dossie and co-author Janet Hardy have been exploring and teaching Tantra, with a particular focus on the intersection with BDSM/kink/fetish. In November Dossie Easton leads a series of workshops in London: Sun 7th Nov, 3pm to 6pm Radical Ecstasy: kinky journeys to transcendence (taster) Weds 10th Nov, 8pm to 10pm Working through Jealousy Sat 13th + Sun 14th Nov, full days Radical Ecstasy: kinky journeys to transcendence (intensive) Radical Ecstasy UK is hosted and produced by Sacred Pleasures, and supported by Sh! Womenstore, LondonFetishScene and BiCon 2010. RADICAL ECSTASY Dossie writes: For millennia, seekers have used physical and emotional extremes to achieve transcendence and exaltation. Today, many kinky players are discovering the potential of SM practice to reach personal, interpersonal and spiritual goals. We will journey into the intersection of BDSM and Tantra, which Janet Hardy and I wrote about in Radical Ecstasy. We will start with basic exercises, breath and safety, and then move on to connection and ecstatic practice, with exercises that incorporate SM or D/s and tools from Tantra practice and elsewhere. You may attend as a single person, or in couple, triad or any other combination, and all genders and orientations are welcomed with delight.
