Event
Stepping into Ecstasy: Qigong, Breath, Dance, and Touch
Join Monique Darling and Peter Petersen for an evening of healing playful movement, and intimate sacred touch.
First Peter brings his love of a moving meditation from China called Qigong.
For thousands of years people have captured the essence of these simple movements to maintain balance and to heal themselves mentally and physically. Qigong accelerates healing and has a positive clinically recognized effect on almost all physical symptoms. Qigong helps heal the physical body and release stress of the mind. By moving your body, releasing trigger points, and stimulating your circulatory system, you literally become your own massage therapist. Simultaneously these movements help release negative emotions and memories that you no longer need and allow yourself to be much more present in your "now" so in a sense you become your own psychiatrist at the same time! Come learn how to build the foundation of being your own health advocate and enjoy emotional freedom and connection to all that is!
Peter will then teach a style of movement that incorporates the dance of the 5 elements and Qigong flow merged together.
After we are all grounded into our bodies and into the present moment, Monique will empower your sensual conscious touch by educating a tactile language of stimulating arousal, that opens a doorway to the deepest part of our soul.
Monique will take us on a journey using the most intimate form of touch, our breath. Introducing an ancient ritual where you will explore each-others bodies, magnifying your connection physically, energetically, and spiritually. Then we will align your chakras through touch, breath, connection, and shared intent.
Drop even deeper into your embodied bliss state as you learn to touch for YOUR pleasure, as you get to practice asking for the specific types of touch your body is craving/imagining at any moment.
Finally we will lead you through some simple massage techniques for neck, hands and feet where we will lead a multi-handed massage session where we throw in some of our own unique "black belt" tools that will leave your partner breathless and lusting for more.
Dive deep into your authenticity. Extend your awareness and your ability to listen to your body. Monique and Peter will be leading everyone on a journey of sound, and touch. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have 12 hands needing, massaging, caressing, all over your body after your heart has been blown wide open by dance, touch, connection, and music?
Two or more people at a time, will receive multiple hand massage's then while those two are recovering from their bliss coma, another two will take their places in the middle. Until all participants have been pampered. (the last minute on the table, you will be surrounded as ancient sanskrit tones will be sung into your body, bathing you in sound expansion and celebration)
Bring sexy finger foods, your favorite lotion, even your own sheets and towel, and prepare to be pampered like you never have before..
Bring a partner or come solo and be paired up with a practice partner for the night so you can take these skills home and wow your lover!
Bring a cushion, water bottle, and a curious, open mind.
Wear comfy clothes that you can move around in.
