Workshops and Activities

The safety and comfort level of all practitioners is the most important aspect of Divine Ecstasy. These ideals are assured in all practices and will dictate all of the activities at the Body Magick festival. Everyone knows what is going to happen and how. This provides for a safe and relaxed environment that allows the attendees to focus on the activity. It's a simple formula: no worries = all good.

The workshops and activities at the Body Magick festival will be interactive. There will be nudity and activities of a sexual nature. Everyone will have the option of participating or one may simply observe.

The Gates will open at 3pm on Thursday with the first workshop at 7pm.

There will be a busy schedule of events at the festival. Here are a few highlights. More info on workshops and activities will be added as we get closer to the event.

Wheel of Life

Journey through trance in a spiral of dance and drums. Each quarter appointed with an act of sacred sexuality focusing the elements of air, fire, water, earth in their role of celebrating the divine play of God and Goddess. Opening the spiral completing the creative process, we then release to the universe the energy generated in the celebration - as the pulsing heartbeat of new life offered in benefit for all - the gift of gratitude and acknowledgment of our greater good.

Experience the divine energy of the four elements as the male and female aspect of each connects in an ecstatic union within the drum circle.

Here’s how it’s going to work.

In keeping with the practice of all Divine Ecstasy events, visitors will be able to attend a pre-ritual workshop that will explain the entire rite. Visitors will have the option of sitting in the outer circle to observe this amazing ritual or they may become more involved with the energy by joining the circle as a dancer or drummer.

There will be three circles formed around the main fire.

The outer ring will be for the community and may include chairs or blankets (recommended) to sit on the ground. The drummers will be set up on one side of this circle.

The middle ring will be for the dancers who will add to the energy by dancing and slowly spiraling around the fire. The dancers will have the option of being skyclad.

The inner ring will contain four couples of the Moksha Magic group. Each couple will represent an element and its corresponding direction. As each element is invoked the couple will begin a sacred dance of flirtation and courtship around the fire. With spirit guiding them each couple will eventually move to a stationary cardinal point in the circle. Here they will continue until they consummate the energy of the rite with a divine ecstatic union.

The intention and focus of the energy will benefit all of the community and will be discussed at the pre-ritual workshop.

Moksha Magic Rite

Visitors will learn about the history of the Moksha Magick group and the basic practices of the group. Moksha Magic members will then perform an actual rite that will include nudity and sexual activity. Visitors  will be able to quietly observe this beautiful practice. After the rite there will be a question and answer session and then each guest will be able to speak privately with a member of Moksha Magic. If the guest is comfortable with the practice they will have the option of participating in the next rites that will be performed later that evening.

This format has worked well in the past. It gives each visitor at the festival the ability to have their questions answered in a private comfortable way. Communication is the key.
