Dossie Easton to lead workshops in London

On Weds 21st May Dossie Easton, legendary author of The Ethical Slut, will be in London teaching Radical Ecstasy. This remarkable workshop brings together tantra and kinky play, and has never been taught before in England.

Radical Ecstasy explores the emotionally-connected and spiritual side of SM play. For those who are new to SM it is a wonderful introduction, taught by someone with over 40 years’ experience as a player and teacher. For more experienced kinky people Radical Ecstasy is a powerful way to explore deep, connected play that can enable you to grow emotionally and spiritually.

During the two and a half hour workshop Dossie will share her own research and explorations in this area, and lots of practical techniques to help you to get there again and again. In a safe, supportive environment the group explores possibilities for personal growth through the stimulation of body, mind and spirit.

Dossie is one of a handful of pioneers teaching this remarkable work. This is a great opportunity to learn directly from her and to discover this exciting new area of her practice.

Radical Ecstasy is taking place on Weds 21st May, 7pm to 9.30pm in Clapham, London SW4. Places at the workshop cost £30 each.

Dossie Easton is a San Francisco based writer, educator and scene leader. One of the pioneers of the polyamoury community, her books include The Ethical Slut and Radical Ecstasy.

Radical Ecstasy UK is produced by London Faerie in association with www.Polyday.org.uk and www.Sh-Womenstore.com. It has been generously sponsored by www.LondonAlternativeMarket.com.

The Night of the Senses has been commended by the Institute of Development Studies which is part of the University of Sussex. In their Gender and Sexuality Report, they say, "Outsiders is funded in part through donations and in part through proceeds from a huge charity sex party. The party, called 'The Night of the Senses' is held annually in London both to raise money for the organisation and to provide an opportunity for disabled people to be recognised as sexual and to have sex! It brings together both able-bodied and disabled people, with diverse sexual orientations and preferences."

We are delighted to share with ball guests the wonderful news that Melanies UK Swingers are donating a substantial sum of money to the Night of the Senses on an annual basis, to help us run the event more smoothly, especially for disabled guests.

Many thanks to Mel and Adam - the first to ever take us seriously enough to make such a pledge.
