Dark Eros

Intensive weekend workshop with Freya Wolna and Piotr Reisch. The workshop is accredited by John Hawken’s Paths of Transformation School of T⍲ntra, where Freya and Piotr are faculty teachers.

For the first time in Berlin, we have the pleasure to welcome Freya Wolna and Piotr Reisch from Poland, with the introduction to DARK EROS, as developed by John Hawken.

Dark Eros is a term to describe se✗uality which is connected with our first chakra rather than with the second; se✗uality that arises from existential issues rather than from pure pleasure, love and contact.

These existential themes, whether they are about power (over or under), about anger and revenge, about guilt and shame, or carry issues of self worth and empowerment, colour the se✗ual energy with a touch of darkness. This is because the issues are usually unconscious, or perhaps obsessive, or have an energy that threatens to break out of our conscious control.

This workshop shows how to heal and transform these existential issues through T⍶ntric techniques of releasing and expressing energy, of raising consciousness, creating heartfullness and affirming the life-enhancing nature of pleasure.

In our relationships we then tend to express power and control by punishing our partner through withdrawal of love. This creates a wounding and a fear which will come back to us, as they will at one point do the same to us. This creates a slowly-widening distance between relationship partners which little by little becomes an unhealable split.

Dark Eros techniques teach us to keep a relationship energetically healthy and loving by transforming anger and hurt through the conscious giving of ourselves in a physical and energetically intense way, which allows the transformation of anger into erotic contact.

We will introduce a practical and theoretical approach to transform these existential issues back into pure pleasure and life energy with powerful healing and liberating effect.

The Steps Include:

•  Accepting and embracing dark impulses and energies and see them with a different consciousness.
•  Choosing to be in physical contact rather than psychological distance
•  Calling in the heart energy
•  Choosing pleasure of contact and connection rather than moral pleasures of being right.
•  Choosing contact, pleasure, love and beauty over violence and suffering.
•  Realizing it is more fun to experience intensity in the form of pleasure instead of the form of pain and suffering.
•  Experiencing se✕ual energy as opening the gateway to sacred intimacy
•  And finally the feeling of arriving, of coming home.
• At first it may seem perverse to take pleasure in power or in punishment. But really the perversion is in the socially accepted morality and punishment in repressed and morally constrained society, that condemns pleasure.
• When the pleasure is admitted and allowed, the violence falls away and innocence is regained.

Dark Eros (Into Light)

Eros isn’t only light. This week invites us to explore se✕ual expression that is consciously transgressive, and to investigate the particular flavour and juiciness of forbidden fruit.

Do you feel a longing for intensity in your se✕ual experiences.

Does guilt or shame overshadow your se✕ual enjoyment?

Do you experience fear or paralysis when a situation turns se✕ual?

Dark Eros Is A Space Where You Will:

•  Explore your 1st chakra se✕uality – accepting, embracing, and transforming dark impulses and energies
•  Explore the anal phase of se✕ual development: Here I am in the world (which can be frustrated by parental control, either violent or withdrawing).
•  Explore your ability to receive more energy applied to your body
•  Learn to increase your own energy in order to increase your pleasure potential with more intense forms of contact
•  Release feelings of anger and rage
•  Heal guilt and shame regarding your se✕ual feelings and needs
•  Explore your wildness in safe, playful ways
•  Surrender to the visible flow of ecstatic se✕ual energy through your body

This Workshop Is For You If You:

•  Wish to expand your erotic potential or enjoyment
•  Feel attracted to playing with power over and power under (giving and receiving intensity)
•  Wish to transform fear into pleasure, guilt and shame into excitement*
• *Both guilt and shame are perverted forms of se✕ual excitement. Our society finds guilt, shame and fear more acceptable than positive pleasures in being alive in a sensual body. Morality, religions and social norms robbed us of our natural innocence and turned it against us in those self-destructive feelings .
• You are free to join alone, with friends or as a couple.
• This workshop is for everybody, no matter the sex, age, gender.
• Inclusivity and fluidity are the key.
• The workshop will be in English.
• This workshop will respect all mandatory health requirements required.
