Find BLISS! Saturday January 4th online

Sexual hypnosis and hypnotic orgasms are not just about enhancing pleasure—they have the potential to transform our understanding of human sexuality. In this engaging and eye-opening session, renowned hypnotist and filmmaker Albert Nerenberg delves into the groundbreaking world of sexual hypnosis, where the power of the mind takes center stage. Drawing from his participation in a pioneering study on hypnotic orgasms (The Prague Experiment) and his experience documenting the phenomena in his latest film, Make Orgasms Not War, Nerenberg will reveal how hypnosis can unlock new dimensions of sexual pleasure, connection, and even new understandings of human nature. 
 Attendees will learn how hypnotic techniques can be used to heighten arousal, change patterns and even experience orgasm purely through the power of suggestion. Nerenberg believes the existence of hypnotic sexuality upends the widespread belief we are sexually programmed by our genitalia. This gives us agency.  Whether you're looking to enhance your sex life, explore new forms of intimacy, or simply learn more about this cutting-edge field, this session is a must-attend for anyone curious about the future of sexual exploration and sexual science.

Join Kaz Riley, the renowned Sexual Freedom Coach, for an empowering and transformative talk designed specifically for women and the people who love them. In this session, Kaz will explore what it truly means to get into a "sexy state of mind" and how embracing this mindset can lead to deeper intimacy, greater confidence, and a more fulfilling sex life.

Women often face a unique set of challenges when it comes to sexual expression—ranging from societal conditioning and body image issues to internalized shame and past experiences. These barriers can prevent women from fully accessing their pleasure and exploring their desires. Kaz will dive deep into understanding what holds women back sexually and how these limiting beliefs and patterns can be gently dismantled to make way for authentic sexual freedom.

Through a mix of enlightening discussion, practical exercises, and empowering techniques, Kaz will guide participants on how to shed these limitations, reconnect with their bodies, and cultivate a mindset that welcomes pleasure and joy. Attendees will learn how to:

• Identify and challenge the subconscious blocks that inhibit sexual expression.
• Embrace their sensual selves and reconnect with their innate sexual energy.
• Communicate desires openly and confidently with partners.
• Use practical tools and strategies to get out of their heads and into a state of sexual immersion and pleasure.Whether you’re looking to enhance your personal journey or support the women you love in feeling more empowered, this session is a safe, inclusive space to explore, learn, and grow. Leave feeling inspired, confident, and ready to embrace your full sexual potential.

Don't miss this opportunity to learn from Kaz Riley, whose compassionate, no-nonsense approach to sexual freedom has helped countless women worldwide break free from societal constraints and rediscover the joy of a liberated, empowered, and sensual life.

Our relationship with our body shapes how comfortable, confident, and present we can be during sexual experiences and can have a significant impact on our ability to experience erotic arousal and sexual pleasure.

Because body image is influenced by societal standards, personal experiences, and psychological factors, it can sometimes feel as if we are caught in a negative feedback loop that inhibits us from truly feeling sexually free.

Social media and pornography can exacerbate negative body image and create unrealistic standards that affect how someone feels about their body in sexual contexts. These external pressures can be particularly influential for women, though they affect men as well.

People who struggle with negative body image often suffer in the following ways:

Self-consciousness or shame during sexual encounters can lead to anxiety, distraction, and difficulty becoming fully aroused. Lack of confidence related to our appearance can also inhibit sexual exploration and expression and these negative feelings can interfere with the ability to relax and experience pleasure.

Fear of judgment or rejection can cause people who are dissatisfied with their bodies to have lower libido (sexual desire) or avoid sexual encounters altogether and this often puts a strain upon the relationship.

Inability to communicate with a partner about our own desires can leave us feeling unfulfilled and if we are unable to communicate our boundaries, we could become fearful of sex. Sometimes we project our own insecurities onto our partners, believing that they view our body negatively even when it isn’t the case. 

Disconnecting from physical sensations or avoiding certain sexual positions that make us feel exposed limit the potential for pleasure. We may also struggle with receiving compliments or affectionate touch, which can hinder sexual intimacy. 

Lack of full emotional participation in sex which reduces the overall quality and depth of the experience.

In this discussion, Gila Zak, C.Ht. will share ways in which we can break through the illusions and distortions of the mind that are keeping us from having a healthy relationship with our body and a rich and fulfilling sex life.

Uncover the Truth About Men, Emotions, and Pleasure  Men are often misunderstood as being driven solely by their desire for sex, perceived as a gender controlled by their penis.

 In reality, many men are navigating a complex landscape of emotions, using the pursuit of pleasure as a way to cope—sometimes in healthy ways, and sometimes not. This talk, led by Dr. Nicholas Natale, sheds light on this common misconception and explores the deeper connection between emotions and pleasure. 

 If you're looking to understand the men in your life better, or if you're a man seeking to break free from these limiting stereotypes, this talk offers valuable insights. Discover how hypnosis and other approaches can help men achieve emotional regulation, deeper connections, and more satisfying sexual experiences. Join us for a transformative discussion on how men—and those who love them—can move beyond misunderstandings and embrace more fulfilling relationships and intimacy.

Much attention is given to the very important ingredients of communication, consent, emotional vulnerability, safety and emotional intimacy in relationships.  And the expectation has been that if you have a good relationship, a healthy relationship, that sex will naturally follow. 

This is incredibly frustrating (and demoralizing) to people who have thought

“If I just do all the things I am supposed to do, if I keep fit and attractive, if I buy gifts, go on dates, do the therapy, do more therapy, hold hands, give massages… if I’m best friends with my partner…. I will get the sex that I need to feel desirable and satisfied. 

For the person who has responsible desire, or a low libido, it’s easy to feel like there is something wrong with you or to nitpick and point the finger elsewhere and avoid guilt.  He isn’t romantic enough, he leaves his socks around the house, he chews too loudly.  He’s a pervert for wanting sex all the time. 

There are so many narratives about sex, and it’s comforting to imagine that if you just do the right thing… it will all fall into place.  Or to stick your head in the sand and imagine that if you ignore it (because you don’t want it) the subject will go away and you can live happily ever after.  

A healthy relationship with trust, safety and excellent communication is a great foundation. Your eroticism is a different subject, albeit one that can be supported by that foundation.  Much like your physical health and wellness is experienced by sustained consistent effort and consistent choices over time, your thriving erotic health is something that requires tending to and does not always happen by default, simply because you’re in a loving relationship. 

Freja is here to talk about nurturing the erotic in your relationship, and how deliberately utilizing trance-states and elements used in hypnosis can accelerate and amplify the eroticism and yes, desire in your relationship.
