Like many potent things, we are often simultaneously attracted to and fearful of fire, and for good reason. For many fire is associated with the erotic, the sensual, the sexual; it is aesthetically enchanting, mesmerizing in its dynamic beauty. But fire is also dangerous, and potentially destructive. To play with it is to dance with one of the most powerful, focus-and-respect-demanding partners imaginable. Contact fireplay is one way of dancing with fire. It is perhaps the most intimate, allowing the flames to caress you, allowing you to "hold" the flame. Contact fireplay can intensify sensually intimate partnered experiences, ritual performances, dance and other types of dramatic performances. Ensuring the safety and pleasure of all participants is at the heart of learning contact fireplay.

Wanna really heat things up? The space has sauna, if you are interested in blissing out in the sauna before or after the workshop, let me know.

Also, there is a kitchen at the space and the woman who runs the space can have a meal prepared and waiting for us when we are done. Again let me know if you are interested!
