What's Possible

  • Expand Your Mind-Body Connection: Safely discover your body’s capacity for heightened sensation, emotional release, and somatic integration.
  • Heal Through Shadow Work: Gently explore the hidden sides of your desires to release past trauma, shame, and emotional blocks in a container built on trust.
  • Embody the Power of No: Master the art of setting empowered boundaries, trusting that a clear no is the foundation for an authentic yes both in play and in your daily life.
  • Master Negotiating Desire: Practice communicating your true wants and boundaries clearly and without shame, transforming how you navigate intimacy and relationships.

What to Expect

  • Expert, Trauma-Informed Facilitation: A brave, highly supportive space designed to honor your pace, boundaries, and individual nervous system.
  • Accessible Entry into Conscious Kink: Practical, step-by-step guidance on play dynamics, bondage, and impact play (like flogging) rooted in safety, intention, and gentle curiosity.
  • Foundational Consent Tools: Direct experience with practices like the 3-Minute Game to help you distinguish between giving and receiving and clarify what you truly want.
  • A Grounded, Supportive Community: Connect with others on a shared journey of self-discovery, emotional healing, and authentic self-expression.
"I was surprised by how gentle yet profound the PSI weekend was. I felt safe enough to explore parts of myself I usually hide, and I came away feeling more integrated, connected, and deeply understood by the group."

Description

🌶️🌶️🌶️High Spiciness (clothing optional events that may include sexual touch)

This event is for cisgender men, non-binary AMAB (assigned male at birth), trans men, intersex, and two-spirited people of all sexual orientations. If you have questions or specific needs, please contact the coordinator, Ken, at socal@bodyelectric.org.

About the Workshop

Power, Surrender, and Intimacy provides a compassionate, trauma-informed environment to explore power, vulnerability, and physical sensation. Here, we invite the “shadow”—the suppressed or misunderstood parts of our sexuality—into the light, creating a path toward deep healing, boundary reclamation, and personal freedom.

Body Electric understands the importance of privacy and confidentiality. They have been an integral part of our work for over 40 years. If you have concerns, just ask your coordinator.

Ask your coordinator if there’s a promo code or discount available for you. To learn more, contact Ken at socal@bodyelectric.org.

This workshop will take place on the traditional and ancestral lands of the Tongva, Chumash, and Kizh peoples.

Facilitator(s)

Paul Johnson (he/him) is a Fetish Coach, mentor, educator, and longtime kinkster based in San Francisco. He believes kinky play inspires us to stay in the moment, be deeply intimate with our partners, explore our primal sexual energies, and to have a whole lot of fun.
