Holistic Pelvic Care (HPC) is a technique that helps restore emotional, physical and energetic balance that is rooted in the pelvis. Through a detailed interview to discuss current issues and medical history, light acupuncture, detailed physical pelvic work, and guided visualizations, HPC can lead a woman to a deeper understanding of herself, and her power to heal and nurture her own well-being. This confidential and supportive class will serve as an introduction for women interested in learning about HPC and how it may be helpful for themselves or someone they care about.

Rough Sex For Beginners: Consent and Desire
Sunday, October 17 – 7:30 p - $20
(Due to the overwhelming demand for this class we are offering it again in October to accommodate all of those people who were not able to get into the August 29th class.)
The sweet intersection of a slap and kiss. The rough and tumble of spank and caress, of commanding voice and gentle stroke, of laugh and growl.
Does this sound like you? Or wish it could be you?
Come join hugely popular sex and BDSM educator Felice Shays as she teaches you to use your hands, mouth, toys, and imagination to delve deep into what is often taboo and always crazy-hot. Felice will address what it is to take and give power - as men and as women - and how we get to lose society's prescriptions as we cross the bedroom threshold.
We will explore communication, emotional limits and release, safety, partnered positions, head-space, anatomy, dirty talk, and helpful items. Throughout the workshop, Felice will share provocative techniques on how to find and express your own desire, how to push through fears that might be preventing you from discovering new sexual and sensual highs, and of course, she will teach you how to spank, slap, restrain, and more.
Yeah, we’re talking SEX. Sweet, raunchy, bring-it SEX.
All genders, ages and individuals and couples all and always welcome.
Bring your questions and your curiosity.
