Self Love Ritual -Three Circles
Upcoming Dates!
It is essential you have attended previous sessions or workshops with Julia. Please contact Sofia Reino sofiareino@gmail.com giving information of your name and previous work done and she will arrange for you to book & pay.
What is involves?
The ritual evening is an honouring of the body and sexuality. It may involve optional nudity and group self love/self touch/ self pleasuring. It is a celebration of us in our natural state and in pleasure. Taking part in this ritual can be challenging for some but it is a hugely freeing experience and confronts/challenges any shame , fear and guilt we have around nudity and our sexuality. For those who have worked through shame, guilt and fear this ritual provides an opportunity to express and love yourself in a group space with other free souls.
Who is it suitable for?
It is essential that participants have done sessions or attended workshops with Julia to be eligible to attend this event. We recommend that participants are familiar with self pleasuring groups and/or nudity or that you feel ready to step into such a space, breaking out of shame and hiding!
How will the space be held?
We will create a safe container with heart presence, consent and boundaries. This is not a workshop space as such and is not designed to be a place of individual support or processing. It is a ritual you will take part in. Julia and the team will hold the space and will be available to provide support if anyone should need it, but this is not the purpose of this event. The idea of the ritual is to have the experience and see what that looks and feels like for you.
What will the workshop involve?
The event will consist of a short session to build the group ritual energy and set the container. We will then share the format of the ritual and some guidance / suggestions as to movement, dance and touch. We will begin the ritual with an honoring optional unrobing ceremony. We will then begin the ritual which will be guided by music.
The 3 Circles Ritual
The ritual is a place of witnessing, being seen and celebration. The ritual offers optional nudity and does not involve and talking or direct touch with others. There are no leaders, only supporters, space holders and time keepers. This beautiful ritual was taught to me by Joseph Kramer
There are three layers to the ritual space.
1. Outer Circle /Realm
Silence, stillness, Presence and witnessing.
Joseph Kramer the creator of this ritual tells in story form about the outer circle
‘Silence, one of the three realms participants can move among during the Ritual. Some jokingly call this realm "Voyeur" because it is about doing nothing, just being with the energy of the Ritual and witnessing what is happening’
2. Middle Circle/Realm
Activation , dance, movement , self touch, genital touch & arousal.
In Joseph’s story
‘The second realm of the Ritual, Awakening, concerns the great human venture of waking up. This is the realm of shaking and stretching, laughing and screaming, self-massage and aerobic activity, breathing and masturbating. Remaining within their own segment of the platform, each participant generates and circulates within their body the holy fire, the erotic life force, the ching chi.
3. Inner Circle/Relam
Celebration, Dance and being seen.
Joseph shares ‘Dance is the realm of joyous movement, ecstasy, celebration, aliveness, glowing eroticism, emptiness/fullness, synergy, creativity, magic and mysticism. Dance is the place of erotic embodiment, of what is erotically possible’.
To end the event, we will have a celebration and sharing space after the ritual.
