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

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.
Tantra Puja
