Group Guidelines
In our workshops, our intention is to create a safe boundaried space to allow our members to connect with themselves in safety and equally it’s important to us that the Group is safe for our members outside our workshops.
As this group puts on some events based on exploring sexuality, there are some who may see this group as a forum for contacting people to meet or hook up with. There are many different websites and forums that are appropriate for this, but this group is not one of them.
Our members in the main have joined this group to explore different aspects of themselves to facilitate their journey of self-exploration, self-expression, growth, healing, connection, energy and consciousness, based on their intent.
We therefore ask all of you not to make speculative approaches or to connect with any members you have met without prior mutual agreement. The majority of our members do not do this, however, there may be the odd individual who might approach you. If you receive an approach in this way, please notify us and we will remove that individual from the Group.
You can also regulate the level of contact you feel comfortable with on Meetup under Settings (under Privacy). In the “Who can contact you on Meetup?” section you have three settings to choose from:
• Any member of Meetup
• Members of my Meetups
• Only Organisers
Also in the Privacy section there is another section which states: “Show your Meetup groups - On your profile, anyone can see all the Meetup groups you belong to”. You can decide if you want these displayed or not here. In addition you can, if you so choose, keep your interests private too. Finally you can block any single person from contacting you under “Report/Block” under their individual profile.
Please message us directly if you experience any problems.
With love,
Jon & Elara

- Getting Conscious with Kink with Seani LoveThe Pathways Studio, , Manchester£260.00
“I have de-clawed the daemons of my past, spanked them soundly and put them to bed. I've found a new language, a new confidence and understanding of control, consent and respect within the world of kink, which will serve me well in all aspects of my life. It's a start, a foundation and one which I can't wait to build on.”
~ Greig McArthur (participant at a previous Seani Love workshop)
Whether you are a curious beginner or an experienced player, international award-winning professional kinkster Seani Love invites you to join him on this weekend journey into the depths and delights, magic and wonder of the breathtakingly wonderful approach we call 'Conscious Kink'.Conscious Kink helps us expand our understanding of our bodies, our subconscious patterns, our sexualities and thus ourselves. With a strong emphasis on boundaries and consent, Conscious Kink gives us a diverse set of tools that allow us to expand our sexuality, be more confident with our lovers and play partners, and become more empowered as self-aware erotic beings.
During this workshop you will learn about:
• The use of ritual and intention to create safe spaces
• Boundary setting, consent and safety techniques
• Deepening connection through conscious touch
• Giving and receiving pain and pleasure with intentional BDSM skills
• Eroticising the authentic dynamics of domination and submission (D/s)
• Giving, receiving and holding power
* Exploring consensual non-consent
* Erotic archetypes and ritual
* Putting all these things together for the purpose of journeying, exploring erotic sensations and/or deepening understanding.The weekend will be paced gently and will include:
• A discussion on shadows, fantasies, the origin of the kinksters’ impulse.
• Discussions on why people would want to explore their erotic shadows and do things like inflict pain or have pain inflicted upon them.
• An ecstatic rite where we use all the BDSM and conscious kink techniques developed so far to facilitate deep and wonderful journeys for each other.This workshop is open to individuals and couples/triads/other constellations of all genders, sexualities and body types. We do not match genders in this workshop.
No partner is required and everyone will have the opportunity to work with different people in order to enjoy a greater range of experiences. If you would like to come with a partner, you are completely welcome to work together for the whole workshop.
No removal of clothes is necessary for this workshop, but others may choose to do so and in some instances become very erotic with each other. Safer sex protocols will be followed and equipment supplied. All activities are optional, and during this workshop a lot of attention will be given to feeling into and respecting your own and other's boundaries.

- Shamanic TrainingThe Pathways Studio, , Manchester£425.00
Shamanism studies our energetic connection to everything around us, the elements, the minerals, plants and animals, and especially the spirit connections, including to our ancestors, our karma and our sacred dream. We develop our ability to perceive energy and spirit through our energy body, the awareness of which brings us into an expanded state of consciousness. Elara teaches in the beauty way in the tradition of the Twisted Hairs medicine teachings passed on through Arwyn Dreamwalker.
Shamanic healing in this path needs 11 people plus the person being healed and is very powerful. Since Elara learnt how to participate in shamanic healings (both as someone giving healing as well as someone receiving healing), she has been struck by its power and felt inspired to create a community in the UK where we can come together after the training to both give and receive healings. This is a major inspiration for putting this training on and the medicine wheel and shamanic healing will form a significant part of the training. It is intended that regular healing sessions will then be held at Pathways Studio for the participants.
The Medicine Way is a closed group of people that walk together for potentially up to one year if you continue with further blocks. We will explore with Elara both intellectually and experientially the medicine wheel. We will learn new ways of understanding and relating to reality in all its manifestations with respect and equality. The training consists of four 4-day-long meetings and is a strong personal transformation process.
The teaching of the medicine wheel can help us in many areas of life:
- to grow from a childish way of looking at the world into an adult way and see the reality through the mind and heart simultaneously
- to find balance between our inner active and receptive polarity
- to dance our life energy awake to move towards our sacred dream
- to free ourselves on the line of karma – ancestors, thus liberating ourselves from unconscious patterns from the past
- to experience a feeling of oneness and harmony with everything around us, instead of a feeling of helplessness or need for control
***Logistics***
This training can be undertaken as a year long Shamanic training, comprising 4 blocks or Block 1 can be done as a standalone introduction to Shamanism.
The training starts at 13:00 on the Wednesday and finishes at 17:00 on the Saturday for the first block and for the remaining blocks, it starts at 13:00 on the Thursday and finishes at 17:00 on the Sunday.
The training occurs mainly at The Pathways Studio, Manchester and is non-residential. Here we will explore shamanic healing and other indoor activities. The third block will be held residentially in North Wales near Conwy to support outdoor activities such as a vision quest and omen walks.
The cost included in the ticket is just for the teaching fee. You will need to organise your own transport to get there and sort out your own accommodation and food. For the North Wales block, you should allow £80 per night to include food (three meals, snacks and refreshments and accommodation).
The class size will be a maximum of 20 to allow valuable coaching time and exploration of their own character responses. A minimum of 10 people are required to give attendees a typical cross-section of different energies and character responses to explore in person.

- Introduction to Transformational Tantra Massage WeekendThe Pathways Studio, , Manchester£195.00
#### WEEKEND OVERVIEW
This non-residential weekend provides a basic understanding of tantra massage. It is thus suitable for those who wish to learn how to give a tantric massage. For some, you may wish to do this privately with a partner or friends. Whilst for others this is a step to becoming a qualified professional tantra massage practitioner.
This event is based on the work of one of Europe’s leading tantra teachers, John Hawken at The Paths of Transformation, to provide a basic understanding of the key areas of tantra massage through a series of creative exercises. It is a safe, supportive environment delivered by Shakti Elara and Jon Gosling.
We will teach the philosophy and step by step practice of some simple tantra massage, giving clear structures and practical techniques, as well as a tool kit of hands-on strokes to enable attendees to create their own tantric massages.
We are initiated into tantric experience and tantric consciousness through a tantra massage in its highest form. Often tantra massage can be the first contact with energy and the energy body and the potential of expanding sexual energy into the whole body. It is this whole body experience of our energy which can lead to truly transformational experiences. Nakedness is neither expected nor unwelcome, but is simply a matter of choice.
#### THIS EVENT
This event stands alone for those who want to get a taster of tantra massage and its possibilities in a safe and nurturing environment. It is also an excellent introduction to our yearlong certified Professional Training in the Art of Transformational Tantra Massage*, where you learn to learn to give far deeper massage experiences. This may be privately to a partner/friends or professionally to clients.
Among the things we will cover are:
- What makes a tantra massage tantric,
- Understanding different types of touch,
- How to give touch from different energy centres,
- What it means to be present,
- How energy is stored in the body, feeling into energy and how energy wants to move.
#### LOGISTICS
Doors open on Saturday and Sunday at 10am.
On Saturday the training is from 10.30am to 7:30pm and on Sunday from 10:30am to 5:00pm.Refreshments are provided and you are asked to bring vegetarian food to share for lunch.
