Hey Everyone! Erik Adamah here...
The deepest connection and mind-blowing intimacy comes from the pursuit of the highest levels of integrity and intentional communication.
Learning how to ask for what you want is the first step to getting all that you desire.

Through the high art of mindful and embodied Consent & Negotiation, we are able to explore realms of the human experience that are often inaccessible to most people. It can be very intimidating to ask for what you want, for what you truly desire. Learning to consciously navigate acceptance and rejection, as well as honor and celebrate choice in self and others is a gateway to profound healing and overcoming socially imposed shame and self-erasure.

Come learn the art of Consent and Negotiation through the medium of Sh***ri, The Art of Rope Bind & Release in my upcoming workshop: ROPE & B**M FOR BEGINNERS, January 25th. See more details and register on Eventbrite: bit.ly/elreventbrite

Hey! Straya Sun here :)

Here's why people need facilitated spaces for platonic intimacy…

1. To normalize that connection and touch is a human need, and it is good for us.
2. To normalize that pleasure is our birthright, and we can engage intimately on a platonic level. To build our capacity for pleasure. We can feel pleasure and have no agenda or expected outcome. We can feel good connecting as friends and normalize that this is natural.
3. To give people the tools and resources to understand how to do it in a way that will inspire positive connection and healing.
4. So people can practice their embodiment and consent skills. So that those who need practice in these areas can have an advocate in the room supervising the group and be available for co-regulation should triggers come up.
5. Because humans are hardwired for connection. We need each other. In a world that becomes increasingly more separate and isolated, we can be the change we wish to see by connecting with one another.

Let’s get off the screens. And connect in real life.

End the year with a bang. Start 2024 with some gushy yummy positive cuddle puddle memories :D

Join for Sound Healing and Snuggling! (An Exploration in Platonic Intimacy) with me December 29th.

Hello lovely Awakening Arts community… Erik Adamah and I have a big update for you.

Today we are announcing that “Awakening Arts” is being put to rest.

It’s been an amazing year and eight months serving the community. We are so incredibly grateful for all of your support.

This was not an easy decision to come to, but sometimes personal growth means growing in new directions. We still have so much love and respect for one another, and sometimes when people evolve, values and priorities shift as well. Our (Straya & Erik’s) individual visions gradually shifted for the business and we found it best to have our own separate business entities. We have decided to lean into our individual gifts and stay true to our hearts desires in what we want to present to the world within our events and offerings.

It has been such a joy and pleasure to serve our community Since January 2021 as Awakening Arts, and now it's time for something new..

To everyone that’s been following us, joining us for our events, supporting us, we are forever grateful. We are so honored to have facilitated spaces for you to explore rope, intimacy, connection, and healing.

We see this transition as a catalyst for our personal growth and increased ability to serve our community with more authentic alignment.

If you’ve been following us, supporting us, attending our events, investing in our offerings- Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

We appreciate you so much and have so much gratitude that you came along for the ride.

Feel free to keep following our individual accounts (listed below) with “notifications on” for updates of what’s to come! Keep a lookout in your email as well if you’ve opted in to our Eventbrite marketing—We will be updating our lists with more information as it comes.

With so much love and appreciation,

Sh***ri- Self Tie As a Meditation is back this June 21 and just a few earlybird spots remain!

Friday morning I did an awesome self tie session incorporating ichinawa to help ground myself and connect myself to my ropes before facilitating a potent rope Ritual that afternoon.

Afterwards I felt more regulated, calm, and connected to my body.

In a self tie meditation, time fades away and all that's left is my connection to my body and my rope.

It's a beautiful way to disconnect from the world and excess thoughts, and reconnect to myself.

It's also a wonderful way to access my creativity and my innate ability to navigate and redirect based on the feedback my body is giving me.

If you look closely in the video you can catch times where I created some fire energy and my face reflects that intensity. Also when I release my waist rope and I take a moment to breath because my body asked me to show down. Then when I use my other senses like smell to smell the rope and awaken my other senses- bringing more presence and awareness.

Some of us have a hard time sitting still and meditating, and some of us were taught to cut off our feeling from our bodies. Self tying is a powerful way to reclaim meditation and our feeling...

Join us for this potent workshop and also learn some badass technical ties to add to your rope repertoire.

I have a good feeling this one will sell out so if you're feeling the pull take action ✨️💕💓
