“Both sex and psychedelics are ultimately about consciousness, about self discovery, and going beyond everyday reality to that magical place — somewhere over the rainbow, where we feel Divine.” —Annie Sprinkle
Join sex educators and legal psilocybin facilitators Amory Jane and James Belle Guest for an exciting new workshop! Sex, BDSM, and psychedelics may all be used to help us tap into our erotic power and expand our sense of self and relationship with others. Combining altered states may accelerate or intensify effects and sensations, and lead to profound ecstatic states, but there are many things to consider before diving in!
James and AJ will cover: the history of sex and psychedelics, basic brain science and non-ordinary states of consciousness, the importance of set and setting, and potential benefits, risks, and side effects. We will also discuss consent and ethics, accessing altered states through BDSM, and how psychedelics may help us with body image, sexuality, gender expansiveness, relationships, erotic empowerment (connecting to both our own and collective erotic power), and more!
Amory Jane (she/they) is a Sex Educator, She Bop’s Director of Education & Events, and among the first cohort in the USA trained in legal Psilocybin Facilitation. They have taught hundreds of sex and relationship workshops around the country and have been featured on Fusion TV, the BBC, Savage Lovecast, and in Playboy Magazine. AJ dreams of a world with less suffering and more pleasure.
James Belle Guest (aka DreamBodies, LLC) (she/her) is a Pleasure Activist, Dom, Herbalist, and licensed Psilocybin Facilitator who believes that pleasure is not superfluous and to live fully is to be intimate with pleasure.
