        Ceremonialist ~ Teacher ~ Physician

        Braiding the Sacred: Grief, Rage, and Eros - CC - šŸ”„šŸ”„

        (Transformational/Psychology/Relational)

        Our bodies know what our minds often forget: that the capacity to feel profound grief directly correlates to our ability to experience profound aliveness—and our willingness to feel sacred rage amplifies both.

        In this 90-minute encounter we explore how grief, rage, and eros are not separate forces but three sacred strands that, when braided together, create the strongest cord for authentic living. We live in a culture that teaches us to suppress our anger, bypass our grief, and sanitize our desire. But our rage is part of our dignity. Our grief is entertwinded and possible only because of our deep love. Our eros is the fullness of our life force.

        Through guided practices, somatic expression, and communal witnessing, we'll discover how these three forces actually nourish and amplify each other. Come prepared to be messy, uncivilized, and authentically human as we peel back layers of people-pleasing to access the raw truth of what you're feeling or longing to access. This is medicine for those ready to stop shrinking and start daring to be bigger in the world.

        Jungle of Eros Temple - CC - šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„

        (Eros / Sexuality / Intimacy)

        A Deep Imaginal Eco-Erotic Primal Temple

        Surrender to the liminal space where inner landscape and wild earth become one. This immersive journey weaves live music, guided trance, and embodied erotic exploration into a temple of sound, flesh, and nature itself.

        Beginning in deep stillness, you'll be guided through an imaginal odyssey—floating in warm ocean waves at sunset, unfurling like ferns in gentle rain, moving through caves of engorged moss as night creatures emerge. Feel the sun glowing as an inner star within you, breathe with ancient trees and let their oxygen penetrate your lungs, discover how your shape shifts when you slide against boulders or immerse in pools. This isn't metaphor—we're asking the land what it desires, exploring reciprocal pleasure with the animate world around us.

        As music pulses through you, the journey shifts from internal to embodied. Move as your wild creature—serpent, spider, jungle cat, vine wrapping around tree and branch. Greet fellow beings through sound, soft gaze, and creaturely touch. Together, we explore the magic of the night- soft and feral, playful and primal, tender entanglement and raw power.

        In the final movement, all facilitation drops away. Open play within clear consent boundaries—this is your invitation to express whatever aspect of your erotic self is calling to emerge. Let the heat build. Let yourself prowl, merge, entangle as one organism with this village of lovers.

        We close with integration, harvest, and gratitude for the wild magic we've co-created.

        Nourish - šŸ”„

        (Transformational/Psychology/Relational)

        Join us for a low key restful spae platonic co-regulation space. You are welcome to stay in your own energetic and skin boundaries for the evening, or invite and explore platonic supportive touch or contact movement. Rest in knowing that this is a space for your deepest truth and the wholeness of your experience - body, mind, emotions, soul. When we show up in our sovereignty and truth, and trust that others are also in their sovereignty. This is a non-sexual, non-erotic space where you can resource yourself through mutual care and authentic platonic community connections.

        Bio

        Dr. Andi Chatburn is a hospice physician, ecophilosopher, and ordained ceremonialist who guides people through life's most profound transitions by weaving together conventional medicine and ancient wisdom traditions. As an apprentice to death, she understands how intimate encounters with mortality—both our own and others'—can become portals to previously unimagined aliveness. Her own erotic journey has unfolded through the transformative mysteries of deep grief. With over 20 years of experience as a ceremonialist and spiritual director, Andi knows that authentic connection with the Divine requires venturing beyond conventional approaches into the deeper mysteries of human experience. Her work honors the understanding that transformation—whether through life transitions, psychological growth, or spiritual awakening—ripples outward, affecting not just individuals but entire webs of relationships.

        Trauma Informed Statement: Andi a trauma informed facilitator with decades of experience, training, and teaching trauma informed content and practices. Not all of her offerings are explicitly coming from a trauma informed space, and when it's not, it's very intentionally stepping outside of the trauma informed framework. Braiding the Sacred and Nourish will be held from a trauma informed lens. Jungle of Eros is not. It is held from the lens of nature based depth psychology and the ethics of predation and evolutionary creative force, which holds that there is no such thing as psychospiritual safety, but we will hold the space of attuning to ensuring physical safety to the best of our ability.

        Blindfolded Contact -CC- šŸ”„šŸ”„

        (Movement / Dance / Somatic)

        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.

        Dance Roulette - CC- šŸ”„

        (Movement / Dance / Somatic)

        In dance, we are often encouraged to "have no agenda," but what would it be like to purposefully dance with agenda? Participants will randomly pick a challenge from a variety of prompts—ranging from funny/playful to emotional/interpersonal—each one designed to disrupt patterns of movement & engagement on the dance floor. Discover what alchemy arises when seemingly conflicting agendas interweave into comic mishaps & soulful healings. Please be on time for this unforgettable dance adventure.

        Vulnerable Rally - šŸ”„

        (Heart Connection / Communal)

        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.

        (Transformational/Psychology/ Relational)

        It’s fun to laugh and have fun at a Boodananda show, but behind the performance and songs are intentional choices to highlight tactics and behavior patterns that erode trust and cause harm in spiritual & sex-positive communities. How do we spot these signs in others? How do we recognize these traits in ourselves? How can a healthy community address these behaviors in a way that cares for vulnerable people while also not creating a culture of victimhood and fear? What are some of the design elements of a sex-positive community that make for an environment that’s good for all? Join Dave Booda and Philippe Lewis after the Boodananda performance for a ā€œBehind the Actor’s Studioā€ session and group discussion about what goes into a healthy community.

Most importantly, you'll know what is available through rope bondage and ways to modulate the experience, so you can play with both new partners or long-time lovers with confidence. Come solo, with friends, or partnered. This workshop is great for beginners as well as those with rope experience. Rope will be provided.
