How many and what type of workshops/classes have you previously facilitated?
Hi Susan & Jordan. It's me again. I have one more workshop I'd like to offer. Also I have a better Bio here. I had whittled my previous application down to fit in to the suggested character guideline. Once I got in I realised I didn't need to be so frugal. I'm happy to re write the descriptions if you select any of them.
What qualities do you bring to your facilitation?
AS per the previous application.
What relevant skills and experience/qualifications do you have in addition to Sexological Bodywork?
Please use this version of my bio, it's longer.
Facilitator Bio
Hi. I’m Patrick, he/they, queer, sex positive, ecosexual, Neurospicey Sexological Bodyworker & Somatic Sex Educator and Erotic Explorer. Born in the deep south of NZ, I now call the Macedon Ranges just north of Melbourne home. I have a genuine passion for being in as well as facilitating group classes and workshops. I think we can dive in deep when we are in well held spaces and we can learn so much from each other when we share.
My particular area of interest is supporting people who are wanting to explore their erotic potential through new ways of doing things. I work with individuals, couples or groups, in person and on-line including teaching regular Erotic Embodiment classes as part of the 4 Erotic Explorers Teaching Collective & the Institute of Somatic Sexology. I’m also passionate about delivering live workshops on, eco sexuality, anal care and touch, penis care and touch as well as vulva care & touch.
Workshop 1 Name:
Self rosebud massage
# of participants:
Any number
Workshop 1 duration:
2 Hour Workshop
Equipment needed:
Blue medical mats, gloves, condoms, cushions. hand sanitiser, hand washing station, surface sanitiser, coconut oil, small cups, 2 or more rubbish bins
Workshop 1's Intention:
Engage participants in self anal touch to create space for a deeper connection and relationship with self and anus.
As a sex-bodder I am passionate about promoting the joys of the arsehole. De-shaming & reclaiming.
Joseph Kramer once wrote to me to make the point that he felt one of the most important things was for people to try new way of doing things, to not live in a rut and to really take time to savour and install. Deej is constantly telling us to slow down. I believe that this workshop browse from these ideals. I think that this is a great opportunity for those that love anal already to slow down and those that are not frequent anal players an opportunity to explore safely.
This is a great opportunity to reclaim sovereignty.
Gentle self anal exploration in a group is an opportunity to really drop in deeply to personal process.
This work shop will most likely create some very down regulated people so I’m asking for a 2 hour slot to give this the space it deserves and to put it late in the day / early evening so participants can rest.
This could also easily be adapted into a temple styled evening workshop, at which point I’d like to work with Kaggi or perhaps one of the elders to help hold space.
There are so many potential advantages to this practise. I’ve taught it as a class a few times and next year will do a weekend workshop with Kaggi & Sam to expand learning opportunities even further.
Workshop 1 rough format:
I will use the ESAR model or as I like to think of it ESAIRSo Engage, Study, Activate, Install, Reflect & Share option
Engage; Breathing, moving around the room, social engagement, engage with self, engage with subject & body scan. Safety and confidentiality agreement.
Study; We cover anatomy, demo touch on curled finger and thumb (side of the hand) & workshop touch ideas. We have a go through clothing or fabric pause, install & share.
Activate; We prepare self touch stations with medical mats, gloves, coconut oil or lube in a cup etc. Then do a self touch practise with the option of direct glove touch. Pause,
Integrate. Reflect. Share. Close
Workshop 1 program description:
Patrick will be guiding a practise exploring rosebud (external anal) massage as a self pleasure practise. This can be very relaxing so try to plan some quiet time afterwards if you can.
There is nothing that you need to bring but you may wish to prepare for class with a shower. You may also wish to bring gloves, vibe toys, crystal wands or any thing that gives you a bit more reach, massage oil or lube.
The class can be done through a thin sarong or naked with gloved hands. We will supply disposable medical mats to sit or lay on and gloves as well as hand and surface sanitiser.
We will move from holding to exploring different types of touch and movement.
The benefits of this practise can be a greater connection to your arsehole, down-regulation and expanded low level of arousal pleasure states.
