      • Enchanted Union Puja

        This ritual is designed to awaken presence, deepen intimacy, and honor the sacred within ourselves and each other. The ritual will unfold through a series of heart-centered dyadic exercises. Participants will form an inner and outer circle, rotating to connect with multiple partners throughout the ritual. Through breath, eye gazing, conscious touch (optional), and embodied practices, participants will explore authentic connection in a safe, sacred container. The ritual offers an opportunity to drop into deep presence, open the heart, and experience the profound beauty of being seen and received just as you are.

        Tantric Breathwork

        I will teach the foundations of Tantric breathwork, exploring how conscious breathing can awaken vitality, deepen presence, and open the pathways of kundalini energy to ecstatic states. Participants will learn specific breath practices, including rainbow chakra breath to activate and balance the energy centers, and the orgasm reflex breath to awaken the body’s natural capacity for full-body orgasm and energetic orgasm. I may teach sex magic, a powerful manifestation tool that is a white tantra (solo) practice. We will explore both solo and partner breathing techniques, cultivating personal energetic awareness and experiencing the profound connection that Tantric breath can create with another. This workshop is an embodied journey into the transformative power of breath, supporting participants to ignite and expand pleasure, presence, and life force energy throughout their entire being.

      • Sacred Touch

        Sacred Touch is a subtle sexual touch workshop that weaves together experiencing subtle energy, bringing presence and learning to follow inspiration within touch rather than trying to reach a goal. Welcoming healing as much as enjoyment. Exploring 4 kinds of touch (by intention rather than technique): Grounding, Bonding, Energetic, and Erotic. The format includes a mix of group, individual, paired, and small group practice.

        Shadow Play

        There is wisdom within our darkness, past our identity and past our sense of right and wrong. When we look into and through our edges and conflicts we uncover nutrients that we’ve been unknowingly hiding from ourselves. And it’s a process that doesn’t have to be painful; it can be playful! Shadow Play, a Relational Alchemy experience, is an exploration of those shadows, through connection, embodiment, and playfulness.

        In this workshop we’ll experience and explore:

        🌟 Connecting deeply with each other, stepping into both trust and play

        🌟 Playing with your stories, rather than indulging or fighting or running away from them

        Using embodiment and process to playfully bring energies to life

        🌟 Allowing yourself to be surprised by where experience leads

        🌟 Meeting your shadows, what they really are, and the gifts they contain

      • Blindfolded Contact

        Blindfolded Contact Dance is a slow and gentle experience—for both beginners and experienced dancers alike. The constraint of the blindfold invites dancers to explore other senses to find connection, expression, pleasure, and safety. These workshops take participants on a journey of somatic self-discovery and non-verbal consent via solo and group exercises—both with and without blindfolds.

        Vulnerability Rally

        If you were to make a sign that reveals something about yourself you want to hide from the world and hold it in public, what would it say? That’s the question Vulnerable Rally asks of its participants. Vulnerable Rally takes us past the niceties and social graces to which we conform into the very heart of that which makes us human. Our fears, our shames, our prejudices—when these shadow parts of ourselves come to light, they not only have the chance to free us, they can also free those who pass us by and create powerful healing connections between people. Vulnerable Rally is part of a global invitation to remember our common humanity in the most vulnerable way: part absurdist street theatre and part shadow work.

      • Sacred Pleasure Play

        Stop letting unconscious narratives about who you are 'supposed to' be run the show when it comes to sexuality. Let yourself be wild and free - whatever that looks like for you.
        We will explore 3 different modalities of sexual expression:

        1. Performer: the performance model

        2. Sensualist: the pleasure model

        3. Sacred Lover: the sacred model (what is 'sacred' to you? and: how does love move?)


        Activities will include:

        🌟 Pleasure-focused breathwork + getting into the body and into new expressions of pleasure

        🌟 Transfiguration

        🌟 Partnered, heart-centered pranayama (everyone was crying during this last time)

        🌟 Authentic movement

        🌟 Juicy tantric meditation + visualization

        🌟 Sharing in dyads and the large group


        This is a closed container. You will walk away knowing how to bring intentional energies to sex, how to work with your turn-on more skillfully (and with a lot more fun!), and how to create a deeper experience with a partner.

        Jessica started her career as an MIT-trained PhD chemist and neuroscientist. However, she never had a single class in how to have healthy relationships. Using logic to navigate love resulted in social anxiety, frustrating intimacy, and a crumbling marriage. So, she left academia to go say ‘yes’ to what scared her and try some of that weird right-brain ‘touchy-feely’ stuff.
        She spent 4+ years in tantric and spiritual communities in Asia, studying shadow work, kundalini, meditation, and non-dual tantric metaphysics.

        The world’s only live mashup dance-party where you're not only singing along to the greatest hits of all-time, but some lucky folks get to join the show on stage! Led by award winning singer Adam James, aka Gary Underpants, this is much more than your typical concert—it's an interactive happening.

        Bio

        "Adam James is a multifaceted performer and transformational facilitator whose four-decade journey spans from jazz stages to conscious movement spaces. Endorsed by Quincy Jones as ""the best"" Sinatra performer he's seen, Adam brings an extraordinary blend of musical mastery and spiritual guidance to his work.

        From his early beginnings in Kapuskasing, Ontario, Adam's musical journey has been marked by excellence. A child prodigy who began violin at age four, he progressed through rock and jazz bands before earning his jazz studies degree from McGill University. His breakthrough came in 1999 when the Sinatra family selected him to portray Frank in the first musical about the legend's life, leading to a celebrated run in the off-Broadway show ""Our Sinatra"" at New York's Birdland.

        Throughout his career, Adam has shared stages with luminaries including Ray Charles, Tony Bennett, and Liza Minnelli. His performances transcend mere entertainment, creating intimate connections that transform audiences. This gift for connection extends beyond music into his role as a facilitator of transformational experiences.

        As a group facilitator, Adam has developed a diverse portfolio of immersive experiences that foster personal and collective growth. His signature programs range from ""The Divine Dance of Masculine & Feminine,"" exploring gender energies and identity awareness, to ""Collective Flowzone Activations"" that enhance group dynamics and creativity. He's brought these transformative experiences to major festivals including Burning Man, Lightning In A Bottle, and Electric Forest Festival.

        In the one-on-one space, Adam offers specialized coaching through programs like "Flowzone" and "Beyond Meditation," helping individuals access peak performance states and transform mindfulness into practical manifestation. His approach combines somatic awareness, creative expression, and spiritual practice to facilitate deep personal transformation.

        Innovation remains central to Adam's work. As the founder of Singstagram, he's reimagined the singing telegram for the digital age. His original compositions have found their way into films, TV shows, and even the Olympics. His latest project, "Adam James Sings Joni's Jazz," showcases his ability to honor musical traditions while pushing creative boundaries.

        Based in Los Angeles, Adam continues to expand his impact through his "keynote concert" series, where he weaves three life stories with three songs, creating what audiences describe as powerfully transformative experiences. Whether he's leading a thousand-person breathwork session at a festival or working one-on-one with clients, Adam brings the same level of presence and transformative energy that has defined his performance career.

        His comprehensive facilitation menu includes experiences designed for both group and individual transformation, ranging from the playful "Psychedelic Singalong" to deeply therapeutic "Collective Altered States Activations." Each offering reflects his unique ability to combine artistic excellence with spiritual guidance, creating spaces where true transformation can occur.

        From teaching songwriting to guiding groups through conscious movement experiences, Adam James embodies the rare combination of world-class performer and skilled facilitator, making him a unique presence in both the entertainment and personal development worlds.

      • Consent: Attuned Engagement from Start to Finish

        This class is designed to make your experience at FireLight 🔥 even more fun and pleasurable as well as reduce the ‘ouches’ that often result in the process of playing together. Some of the topics we’ll explore are: what’s actually involved in the process of consent, how it can enhance pleasure and connection, your own boundaries and how to express them, non-verbal communication, and the RBDSM{ATPD} conversation. And, of course, you'll get a chance to mingle with your new FireLight 🔥 family!

        Creating Your Sexual Menu: What's Yummiest For You?

        Why settle for the standard fare when you’re actually craving something much more delicious? Sexual experiences are most potent, memorable, and fulfilling when the feelings they evoke match the feelings we subconsciously long to experience. Wouldn’t you like to pinpoint what creates the most erotic charge in you and learn how to share that effectively?

        Some of us want to feel adored, cherished, and ravished and others desire to feel powerful, naughty, and trusted. Most of us resonate with a combination of feelings unique to us. In this workshop, we’ll help you identify the feelings that hold the most turn-on and the accompanying words, touch, energy, and scenarios that create the most intensity and arousal. Next, using our step-by-step worksheet you will create your personalized erotic menu. Finally, you will learn some tips for communicating your menu and practice in pairs. There will be guided exercises, discussion in small groups, and time to tie it all together with practice. Expect embodiment, role play, and interaction. What you’ll unearth will help you and your partners get what you desire most!

      • Eros in Motion: Sensuality, Pleasure & Connection

        In this transformative workshop, we’ll explore sensuality, pleasure, and ecstatic connection through 5Rhythms Dance and Contact Improvisation. You’ll awaken your body, release your erotic energy, and experience the joy of moving fully in your own pleasure and freedom.

        The Journey:

        🌟 Awaken Sensuality (Flowing): We start with Flowing, grounding into the body and opening to the subtle pleasure of simply being present. This is where we reconnect with our senses and begin to feel the vitality within.

        🌟 Ignite Eros (Staccato): In Staccato, we bring structure and intention to our movements, exploring desire and erotic energy. Here, we embrace clarity and direction, allowing the body to express its innate passion.

        🌟 Surrender to Ecstasy (Chaos): The rhythm of Chaos invites us to let go of control and move freely, allowing the body to release and experience the ecstatic joy that comes from surrendering to the flow.

        🌟 Embodied Joy (Lyrical): Lyrical invites us into a space of grace and connection. Through playful, supportive contact improvisation, we’ll discover the freedom and bliss of moving in partnership, where pleasure and joy expand together.

        🌟 Deep Bliss (Stillness): We close with Stillness, integrating the energy we’ve stirred, resting in the peaceful afterglow of movement. In this space, we find the bliss of being fully embodied, fully connected, and at peace.

        This workshop invites you to reconnect with the sensual pleasures of being in your body, to move beyond inhibitions, and to explore deeper connection and joy. It’s a celebration of the natural flow of life and pleasure that arises when we let go and allow ourselves to fully experience the moment.

Born in the shadow of New Age culture into a fractured family system & the subjective experiencer of (arguably) extreme early childhood trauma, her life’s work is to heal psychic wounds—her’s & other’s—that she & others become strong enough to contend with the unconscious quicksands & transpersonal abysses which lap at the periphery of developing consciousness. She is an emergent property of Being playing at becoming sovereign. She really, really loves butter.

        Divine Mischief in the Spirit of Aloha

        A Journey of Devotional Song,

        Alchemical Play & Embodied Magic

        with the Gentle Medicine of Kava Kava

        For many thousands of generations, all music was essentially Devotional and Participatory, meaning that the Tribe Sang and Danced together to knit us in meaningful Relationship to each other and Life Herself! We will mostly be singing traditional Hawaiian Chants, call-and-echo songs, and simple, repetitive Mantras. Bring your Voice, and any instrument(s) you would like to add to our Emergent Orchestra! Called the “Nectar of the Gods” by Hawaiian Traditionalists, Awa (Kava Kava) has been venerated in Polynesia for countless generations. It is a root that relaxes the muscles, opens the bronchi, and gentles the spirit. We will be receiving Awa in a Ceremonial way taught to me by my Kumu on the Big Island of Hawai’i. There are no psychoactive properties of the plant, but it pairs exquisitely well with all other medicines (except alcohol). We are devoted to co-creating Embodied Magic through Regenerative Breath, Sound, and Movement in the Spirit of Love. You are invited to lovingly leave the Dominant Culture at the door and adopt some new customs that foster a deeper sense of Presence, Coherence, and Creative Courage within our Cauldron of Divine Mischief!

      • Spicy speed friending

        What is this speed friending thing? Well… we will play games and join in exercises that lend themselves to making connections, getting to know each other and dropping in. It’s all by choice, you can sit out on any exercises you wish. My goal is to create spaces where there is nuance and flow and in that you really get to dial in the spice level YOU want. 🌶 The workshop will have a faster pace than a tantra style event, more depth than a bar mixer, more variety than an authentic relating games night, and the best part will be all of us spicy humans to play with! 😸 Some people may have played one or two of these games before yet when taken on this journey as a whole we will get in the carpool lane to connection!🚗

        🌟 A combination of spoken and somatic exercises.

        🌟 Be brave and get the tools to make requests.

        🌟 Practice interoception

        🌟 Learn to attune to another

        🌟 Practice saying NO

        🌟 Get to ask for you want and lean into edges

        🌟Learn about each other in small groups and really dive in deep. 💦

        Chocolate Body Blessing

        Listen, play, deepen connection and honor each other. This guided experience connects us to our hearts and each other, playful warm up games, deepening our inner guide and speaking our boundaries. Bring a partner or find a friend to paint our blessings on and then receive nourishing expression in the form of chocolate bodypaint. The exercise is deepening, heart expanding, nourishing, and relaxing. Clothing is optional and the whole body can be used as a canvas. This experience is deeply nourishing and offers an opportunity to be guided through a channeled blessing while allowing artistic expression and nourishment.
