✨ WELCOME!

This second base event will bring people from the conscious play party/temple communities of the Bay Area, including Club Exotica, Love Underground, Erotic Playground, Friends & Lovers, ISTA, Pleasure & Carsten’s Temples, Shanti’s Temples, Sham’s Temples, Starry’s Temples, Enki’s Temples, The Love Party, Burning Man, Elina’s Co-loving Blue Lotus events, and many more!

The theme, “𝐆R𝐈N𝐃 𝐖I𝐓H M𝐄!” invites guests to dive into their most sensuous selves and meet each other fully, body and soul, on the dance floor.

✨ WHAT IS A SECOND BASE PARTY?

A Second Base event is a fun dance event where light sensual s*xy play is welcome. Loosely taken from the "bases" learned in high school (at least in the US), second base is any fun playful interactions with other (flirty, seductive, hot, exhibitionistic). Of course, you and your friends don't have to do anything special (other than follow our agreements). Our events are much like a buffet where you can choose from a myriad of possibilities.

A Second Base party is also a place to contribute your gifts and learn to connect with those you are attracted to (and politely to the ones you are not), push your edges and boundaries, and a place to practice saying "no, but..." or "yes, and..." as you interact with others creatively!

If you find yourself wanting to "get" something from the party—rather than contributing and receiving in response to that contribution, along with playing with boundaries (stretching them, respecting them, holding them, and sharing them)—then this party is likely not for you. Also, even though the lineup for a specific party might be totally awesome and you may just want to dance, you have to expect that this is the sort of event where you will be approached by people wanting to connect and play (which might look like getting flirted with, appreciated, complimented, etc).

All in all, while Second Base parties are light and playful and easy to dive into, they are definitely not for everyone. If you're not absolutely sure, please reach out to Philippe (WhatsApp preferred +14155050786) or email us [email protected] and we'll be delighted to help you feel into this.

✨ TESTIMONIALS

“I don't use the word Epic much... matter of fact the only other time I've used it was to describe Midsummer Night’s Wet Dream last year!“

"In Club Exotica, you are transported into such a luxurious and decadent scene you may almost feel you don't deserve it. So remind yourself that of course you deserve it, because you are fun, s*xy, and beautiful!"

“In celebration we are united, and I go on now in my life to spread the love and joy that was shown to me at this Midsummer weekend! purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. In LOVE, LIGHT, and the deepest gratitude ♥“

"Never seen anything like it! Awesome!!"

“Love the cool water, warmth on my skin from the sun and gazing at beautiful bodies surrounding me. I feel outside of myself, my daily job. I am able to be the person in my dreams who smiles and talks and flirts with those around me. I love who I am at midsummer, love love love“

"Wonderful, fun, amazing party! Thank you!"

“I'm smiling sitting at a coffee shop reminiscing about last weekend... What a wonderful dream. I love you all :-)“

✨🌴 ISTA LEVEL 1 in COSTA RICA - FEB 19-25 🇨🇷❤️ A 7 DAYS JOURNEY INTO SACRED S3XUALITY IN COMMUNITY!

Details: https://bit.ly/3YO9V0d

Join me for the next ISTA Level 1 in Costa Rica in just 6 weeks at a beautiful retreat center near La Fortuna on the Arenal Volcano.

Whats is ISTA?

Thousands of humans from all over the world have discovered sovereignty, consent, empowerment, healing, and so much more via the many curriculums brought forth by ISTA and the members of the organism/organization behind it. And, over the years, ISTA too has evolved to become more attuned, caring, considerate, and trauma informed through fine-tuning consent, offering mediation, creating accountability processes, and improving internal communication for the organization, as well as adding integration tools courses to support participants after coming to our trainings.

ISTA is also a s*x-positive transformational spiritual retreat, a tribe, and an organization. Over the years, ISTA has grown to become an group of 100+ organizers/teachers as well as a tribe of over 10,000 people from all over the world who know and recognize each other by the ISTA retreats they have been to: Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, Living Level 1, Practitioner Training, Tribal Gatherings, and many adjunct retreats and gatherings such as the ReMenBer Brotherhood Journey which I co-founded some years back.

For many of us, ISTA feels like an affinity group within larger and more diverse s*x-positive groups and festivals, offering a sense of safety, coherence, and shared values in a world which may at first glance seem to lack such things.

After having done 32+ ISTA retreats (since i organize them), I can honestly speak to what they offer and also what their limitations are, and offer a solid perspective on whether they would be a good fit for you!

So let me know if you’re curious or if you have questions, and I will be delighted to chat with you.

It will be led by Niten Dhyan who is a sweetest yet clear Lead facilitator, along with Briana Cribeyer, and Diana Prem Shakti.

The venue is one of the most beautiful and connected location I’ve seen, the food is incredible, and the participants will be from all over the world! Plus many of the community of people living there have done the training and support ISTA!

In other words, this will be a beautiful discovery and exciting time to explore healing and s*xuality in community.

Feel free to DM me with questions, concerns, or anything you need!

Some testimonials of people who have been to this training:

a journey

This journey has been an amazing experience that really shifted the way I feel about myself. Learning to integrate the male and female part within myself and see everybody else as both parts gives me a new way to approach others. After the training I really feel the way to honour and stand up for myself, while remaining on touch with physical and emotional body and the sweetness within it. what a journey, what a change, I don’t even want to go back to the way before Thanks for providing this beautiful journey with its deep insights and enormous skills.

no stories

There are no stories I can tell to describe this journey. Imagine you are an ocean with deep waters full of terrifying creatures. You close your eyes and jump in all the way to the bottom. As you come up through the ocean you encounter all these scary things and realize that they aren’t what you thought they were. You hold your breath and trust you will make it through. When you emerge from the depths you realize a beautiful, powerful creature awaits you. And that creature is you.

gratitude

I am very grateful for all the different processes I went through this week, each one was profoundly transformative, the team provided me the loving safe space to let go of some very old and deep wounds.

empowerment

ISTA training is of an essential nature. It takes the journey of a human experience into the perspective of healthy empowered being, it offers tools that allow you to heal your body and emotions and therefore enables participants to claim their birth right to truly live life.

an opportunity

ISTA offered me an opportunity and a space to shake up free up and escape into a reality of truth and honesty. It’s a journey I took with abundance of teachers that showed me the way into myself, the real me, my real body, my true pleasure. It made me find ways to beat the fears and illusions awake and realise they are there, it it poured for me a pavement to walk steady on, towards the encounter with myself. ISTA took me with many other and put us in a container, shook that container up again and again, and let us find what was shed, and what was left in each and every one of us. I am now stepping, aware, present and brave towards the most important change that will ever happen to me.

a call in the heart

If you feel a call in your heart to attend this training then go for it… yes, your mind will come up with all kinds of struggles and fears.. but still trust your heart and go for it. It is not just another seminar that fills you with information, but it will touch you deeply within your very soul and then the healing takes place.. a healing from the source, such a sacred place… take the chance and do it for yourself .. for your life!

boundless lessons

There are boundless lessons to take with me from this experience, but perhaps the most precious for me in this moment was to witness the creation of Sacred Space; space where all is held sacred and safe; space without judgement; space made from love. I truly feel that I can carry this with me and recreate it anywhere I want or need. Thank you!

GROWING THE BODY OF YOUR POWER

As a leader, the piece about attunement, care, consideration is a tricky one, as the larger your group/community becomes the harder it is to engage well and personally with everyone in it.

This is the problem of "scaling", ie growing engagement with something bigger than you as a leader can handle alone without support (human, structural, or electronic/AI/etc)

In a way, scaling leadership precedes (in history) all forms of scaling business, as managing a growing business does mean being in a leadership position within the organization you own.

And while machines don't care about how you manage them, humans very much do.

There are usually humans inside of the organization (helping you manage your business) and outside (your customers/participants/clients/etc), and each need to be engaged with differently.

The humans inside your organization often want to feel a sense of belonging and know that their contribution is welcomed, supportive of the organization, and that they are otherwise part of something meaningful. This is usually much more of a relational engagement between you and those who you manage/influence/direct and in many/most cases, pay.

The humans outside, on the other hand, want *something* meaningful (to them) in exchange for the resources they give you (usually money). The relationship is much more transactional, however if you are also inviting them to become part of a "movement" of some kind, they will also desire this belonging to also feel meaningful.

In both cases, at different degrees, you will be required to engage with more people than you can humanly engage meaningfully with, and if you try, once you cross beyond a certain number of people, you will inevitably fail.

This is because there are hard limits to how much you can engage meaningfully with individual humans in a way that you'll be able to maintain later. Inevitably, as you meet and go deeper with new humans, previous connections will receive less communication and maintenance and you'll find yourself focusing and giving attention on the relationships that feel better, and more current in your life.

Dunbar did research about this, leading to the idea of the Dunbar number which is around 150-200, which expresses the number of 3D human faces we can recognize and associated humans we tend to maintain relationships with. Beyond this, there's another dunbar number which is the number of 2D faces we can recognize and remember (and I imagine have some kind of loose relationship with), which is around 5000.

-----

Crossing to the other side: Where only archetypes can go.

Growing in power can often feel like a kind of "magic": something of ourselves clearly grows as indicated by how far our influence can be felt and affect outcomes while our body and capacity remains the same.

However, as this "body" develops and allows us to manage and impact more and more people, a few interesting things happen:

1. It begins to shape us as we attempt to shape it.

There's something about holding an archetype that can have a corrosive effect on our personality as it gives us more power: it also corrupts us, allowing us to feel less empathy. Dasher Keltner in his book The Power Paradox, speaks of his groundbreaking research around this.

2. It begins to fades at the edges

As we project our role, intentions, purpose, and other expressions of our power far and wide, this power begins to fade at the edges, causing us to need to maintain it with more and more expressions, some of which are more long standing, such as media that can be searched for online (books, articles, video, courses, etc), some of which a short standing and rely on felt/embodied experiences stored in memory (live courses, events, experiences, etc)

3. It begins to get corrupted by others.

If there's one thing that we know about reputation is this: it takes time to build, and it takes no time at all for it to be destroyed by others.

Reputation is the effect of the "body" of our power has on those it touches, and becomes people's impression of us. This of course can be highly manipulated by anyone (including us) to shift how we are perceived. Public Relations in a company or as a role, aka PR, is strictly to shift this perception for the better, or in comparison to others. Slander and defamation is specifically aimed at impacting reputation and perception for the worse.

The Challenge of Developing a Body Larger Than Our Own:

As we grow and develop our power, it becomes crucial that we evolve our methods of operating in order to be able to remain accessible to those we are directly engaging with (internally to our organization) in a way that is meaningful to them, as well as those we are engaging with more indirectly via our offerings (outside of our organization) in a way that is also meaningful to them, while allowing us to remain who we are in a way that is, too, meaningful.

Some of the ways we can grow our power with those we work with internally:

- Regular/genuine invitations for feedback, and showing how this feedback is received well and is taken to heart, and repairing when it is the right thing to do.
- Rewarding those who invest to serve our organization
- Maintaining an "open door policy" with regards to conversations about the areas we (in our leadership role) manage
- Showing attunement, care, and consideration commensurate with our role power, status, and personal power
- Showing benevolence (the way we care based on our role) towards those down power from us
- Showing that we abide by a code of conduct and standards of behavior that is compatible with our own values, the values of the organization, and the values of the communities/culture around us.
- Sharing our values, our commitment, our purpose, our mission, what we care about, what we feel is meaningful and what matters most so that it can be felt by those inside our organization so that they can align/synergize/collaborate with us on the shared reality/co-creation of this organization.

Some of the ways we can grow our power with those we engage through our offerings externally:

- Offering products and services that meet our customers/clients/participants where they need it the most, and avoiding harm and reducing risk wherever possible ("duty of care").
- Screening customers/clients/participants who aren't a good match for what we have to offers.
- Being accessible to personal engagement whenever possible and realistic.
- Regular/genuine invitations for feedback, and showing how this feedback is received well and is taken to heart, and repairing when it is the right thing to do. Or when the external group is too big, setting up a feedback form that is reviewed and supported by a more neutral third party.
- Showing attunement, care, and consideration commensurate with our role power, status, and personal power towards those outside our organization.
- Showing benevolence (the way we care based on our role) towards those outside our organization.
- Showing that we abide by a code of conduct and standards of behavior that is compatible with our own values, the values of the organization, and the values of the communities/culture around us, and expressing this in personal engagements towards those outside of our organization.
- Sharing our values, our commitment, our purpose, our mission, what we care about, what we feel is meaningful and what matters most so that it can be felt by those outside our organization.

As you can see, some of the methods of creating and maintaining the body of our power and necessary and work both internally AND externally. These tend to be the methods that are most closely connected to human connection which every human will need to feel good about when we engage with them personally.

What are your thoughts, feelings, and opinions as you read the piece above? What comes up for you? What do you disagree with?

Looking forward to hearing more from you!

When you go out to prove something about something or someone, are you able to...

⭐️ Observe the personal experience (trauma, bad/good experiences related to the topic) that helps you be biased around this topic?
⭐️ Observe how this bias leads you to pick the evidence that confirms this bias and allows you to discard the evidence that doesn't?
⭐️ Observe how this bias makes it more likely for you to feel that you are right about this topic?
⭐️ Observe how being internally referenced (how much you "know" you are right based on gut feeling) and/or disagreeable (how much you don't want to change your mind) makes it even more tricky to be accurate about this topic?
⭐️ Observe how insecurity/fear/misgivings/doubt can make it even harder to be accurate about this topic?

Once you consider all of the above, how do you determine how accurate your opinion/feeling/sense is around this topic?

Being insecure adds to this complexity.

Level 1 is coming to San Diego Oct 1-8, and the team is 🔥

ISTA is a bit like spicy food.

It's not for everyone and each cook does it differently. Some use more peppers, some less. Some care more and some care less how it lands on your palate. Some will even laugh at you if your mouth is burning.

But as an organizer for ISTA, I pick the lead facilitators I love because of the attunement, care, and consideration they bring to the "table", to the field, to the group of participants who come to have an experience with the hope of a process of transformation, which in and of itself isn't meant to be easy.

And in this way, they create a safer experience for everyone.

With KamalaDevi McClure⁩ , Liz Morris, and Javi Martinez for a beautifully diverse, feminine, and masculine team, as well as Emily Sussel⁩, Michael McClure⁩, Katerina Phoenix, Soleiman Bolour, Pierce Powers, and Bridgette, this is going to be an amazing experience!

Join us for a deep dive into healing, transformation, and tribe. Join us for a journey of a lifetime.

Bring your friends, bring your lovers, bring your family.

Invite them to grow with you!

LIBERATION: RELEASING THE PAST
💥NorCal December 3-8, 2024💥

https://drstacyellis.com/liberation-workshop-northern-california/

It is time to release the past so you can be liberated in the present! This is the work we all return to once we reach that last crusty layer of patterns that do not seem to resolve no matter how much effort we have put into our self work. The inner child is the most crucial aspect to awakening. If our inner child is not integrated our entire being will not feel safe enough to continue expanding its consciousness. The majority of us are making choices based on avoiding triggers instead of from a place of love and freedom. In the six year of offering this workshop, I have yet to have someone tell me they have done THIS work. It goes beyond inner child work to embodied outer child work. We cannot skip steps to wholeness. In this workshop we address the areas where most people have suffering is in their self-worth, relating to others, and finding meaning in life. To address these tender issues, we need to go back to the beginning where the programming started.

What is the benefit?
The most consistent impacts this workshop and aftercare program have had on people’s lives are 1) being significantly less reactive in the body and able to make better choices for oneself 2) relating to others better with improved relationships 3) feeling more confident to be one's authentic self 4) finding more fun and joy in life being an adult 5) a decrease in anxiety and stress in the body by understanding how to support the nervous system

Who should come?
Over age 25: This workshop is relevant for anyone that is over the age 25 and who was a child with caregivers. The best of parenting still comes with programming and perceptions that are not aligned with our true essence.

Beginners: This workshop is facilitated for the beginner that is still learning to like themselves and overcome past traumas. You do not need to have prior workshop experience to attend. However, it is recommended that you have completed foundational self work.

Advanced: This workshop is also for the advanced participant that is wanting to fine tune on the subtle realms the places where their shadow parts have yet to be transformed.

Couples: Couples have enhanced their relationship by doing this work and recognizing how much of their history is projected into their current romantic relationship.

Parents: If you are a parent or plan to become a parent, this workshop will change your views about how to meet your children. Family members have benefited from participating in this work together to clear transgenerational trauma.

What is the format?
This workshop is a five night, six day emersion with three months of FREE aftercare. The workshop is trauma informed and facilitated by a doctorate level psychologist. This workshop provides both therapeutic and transformational experiences.

Tools: You will learn tools that are practiced daily and throughout the aftercare program to support your nervous system and optimal integration. One of the most impactful parts of this work is teaching you how to deprogram your nervous system of the imprints from childhood that cause unwanted stories, patterns, defenses, and triggers. Yes! I teach you how to neutralize these so you can create new imprints and upgrade your human software.

Exercises: Through exercises we remember the child like qualities that make us a whole human.

Lessons: The lessons in this workshop are comprehensive and very applicable to life challenges.

Rituals: The rituals are a deep process that take participants on an embodied journey to complete chapters of their lives.

Come ready to learn! Come ready to remember! Come ready to deprogram what is not serving you!

Growing as an elder is showing up more and more as "gentle masculine".

Which isn't the same as "feminine"

Gentle masculine is more akin to the nurturing father rather than the strict father (which often looks like the stoic father).

A gentle masculine man engages with reality with a lot of sweetness, appreciation, attunement, care, and consideration.

He is not there to fix, and yet he can bring everything he's got to make something better, easier, to evolve it into something it wants to be come.

He is loving and open, willing to collaborate with others from diverse backgrounds and beliefs to find ways to make us all better humans and coexist in greater coherence and alignment.
