Power, Surrender, & Intimacy

A Journey into Conscious Kink, Shadow Work, and Deep Healing

Explore the transformative power of conscious kink. Step into a safe, guided space to explore intensity, power dynamics, and the hidden parts of your desire—turning deep sensations into a powerful tool for healing, trust, and authentic connection.

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.

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.
  • Redefine Your Identity: Examine cultural myths around masculinity, power, and vulnerability to step into a more grounded, integrated version of yourself.

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.
  • Shadow Integration & Processing: Group reflection, somatic practices, and structured exercises to help process deep emotions and build real brotherhood.
  • A Grounded, Supportive Community: Connect with others on a shared journey of self-discovery, emotional healing, and authentic self-expression.

Testimonial

“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.”

About the Workshop

Power, Surrender, and Intimacy (PSI) brings Body Electric’s 40-year legacy of ethical, intentional connection into the world of conscious kink.

True healing often requires us to look at the “shadow”—the parts of our sexuality, desires, and emotional history that we have kept hidden or felt shame around. When approached with intention and self-awareness, play dynamics like spanking, bondage, and flogging become powerful somatic tools. They allow us to process past trauma, release stored nervous system stress, and safely reclaim our personal power.

Negotiating Desire & The Power of No

At the heart of conscious play is the art of negotiating desire—learning how to voice what you truly want while honoring your absolute right to say no. In this retreat, you will practice utilizing your authentic yes and no to set empowered boundaries in real time.

Learning to embody a clear, unapologetic no in a safe environment does more than protect your space—it completely transforms how you walk through the world. When you trust yourself to hold boundaries in high-intensity moments, that confidence naturally ripples into your career, everyday decisions, and personal relationships, empowering you to live and love with far greater authenticity.

Our Lineage of Consent

We take consent seriously because we helped shape how the world understands it. This very workshop served as inspirtion for the School of Consent was birthed. Here, we utilize foundational exercises like the famous 3-Minute Game—a simple yet profound tool that helps you separate giving from receiving, clarify your authentic desires, and practice asking for what you truly want without fear, guilt, or obligation.

Through guided exercises, group sharing, and gentle, hands-on practices, you will learn to navigate sensation and power dynamics with exquisite attention and deep care. You’ll leave not only with practical skills for conscious play, but with a grounded sense of self-trust, emotional freedom, and integration.
