Have you ever been curious about trance work or trance states but didn’t know where to start? This class is for you if you have ever been curious about different pathways and methods of induction into altered states of consciousness. In this class we will talk about the basics of trance work, various methods of induction into a trance state, and some safety considerations in trance work.

Whether you are kinky or not, conscious constructions of interpersonal dynamics that involve power imbalance and authority can be an intense tool for accessing life force and the dance of it between individuals or a group. We will look at types of conscious and unconscious power exchange dynamics, why people would want them for an evening or between lifetimes, and how to apply this technology to your own magical work, sex magick, ethical psychic vampirism, and life at large. This will also include awareness concerning astral connections, unintentional bonding, and destructive behaviors. Power is power, and inequality is not inequity, so let us look at this together with eyes wide open.
