TALKS

Grab a cozy spot on the couch in our beloved Heart Centre and let your mind be enriched by the insightful discussions on topics presented by our expert lineup of speakers. Learning has never been so sexy!

Tantra 101: Living in Ecstasy – a great intro talk for those who are brand new to the world of Tantra! Presented by Katrina Bos.

The Consent Culture Talk – sets the tone for the entire festival experience and ensures that everyone feels safe to play, expand and explore! Co-presented by Jovana Soror Mystica, Yanshuf Kadesh, and this year’s festival ambassador, Lourdes Starshower.

Trauma, Kink, & Somatic Healing – our sexual energy is alchemical medicine. When we shed shame around our desires & fantasies and play them out safely, we can heal in profound and mysterious ways. This talk will explain new neurobiological research; teach sensibilities on how our turn-ons can show up in response to stored trauma; and increase your confidence to explore these often misunderstood terrains in safer ways. Presented by Priestess Francesca.

Energetic Dearmouring: How to Recognize Your Defence Strategies and Come Back to Love – a talk exploring the compensatory ways that humans distort their flow of life force energy, based on the approach of Bioenergetics. These distorted patterns of flow result in what are understood as “defence structures”, which shape the ways that we relate, attach, love and have sex. Through recognizing what structures you primarily default to, you will leave with a deeper understanding of how to shift back into a state of presence and love. Presented by Monica Kovacs.

Womb Consciousness – a transmission on the power held by the Womb. In our modern culture, the depth of power and wisdom ‘she’ holds often lives as a mystery to many until either an issue pops up, or one becomes pregnant. This talk aims to share teachings and wisdoms of the Womb and the consciousness therein that are relevant to all, no matter the gender. A transmission that will take you beyond logic and into the mystery herself. Presented by Brittney Guimond.

Portals to God: Sexual Anatomy Masterclass – a 2-hour, deep-dive masterclass on male and female anatomy, and the “secret” portals hidden therein that give one access to heightened, full-body ecstasy and altered states of consciousness. Presented by Lourdes Starshower.

Sacred Whore: The Forbidden Archetype – a panel discussion on possibly the world’s most shunned (and enticing) archetype! The energy of the Sacred Whore is found in myths, stories, Jungian theory and popular culture and is tasted by many who are called to the work of sexual healing. Join us as we discuss this taboo, and how it can play a critical role at a time of global transformation. A panel discussion with Jovana Soror Mystica, Priestess Francesca, and Yanshuf Kadesh.

The Arts of Separation: Uncoupling in Love –  It’s often joked that divorce lawyers see good people at their worst. Regardless of circumstance, waves of change in partnerships are initiatory crossroads that call us into a deeper capacity for love – rather than blaming, shaming, or judging. This talk will give sacred context to the pain of separation and teach a four-pillar framework to “uncouple in love” – all so you can let the alchemical fire of change transform you with some semblance of sanity and grace. Presented by Priestess Francesca.
