Breath flows into this body as a nectar of the gods
Every breath is a whisper of the Goddess:
“Here is the ritual I ask of you—be the cup into which I pour this bliss.”
– Vijnana Bhairava Tantra 155
This workshop will be a container for examining anxieties, obsessive behaviors, fixations, frenzy, and objectification from the lens of an ancient tantric Buddhist practice known as deity yoga. Featuring a lotus tea ceremony with Blu, a traditional deity yoga meditation, followed by an opt-in group activity for self-worship and worship of others.
What to expect:
♥ Compassionately identifying obsessive feelings and behaviors without pathologizing
♥ A safe space for feeling into the eros of obsessions, fixations, frenzy, and objectification
♥ Experience archetyping oneself as both roles: the obsessive worshipper, and the object of obsession
♥ Reconnecting with courageous confidence in self, worthy of worshipping and being worshipped
Dress:
Attire is entirely your choice – from cozy lounge-wear to creative expression, lingerie, leatherwear, latex, any gear representing a persona, or nothing at all. This is a consent-centered space rooted in respect, inclusivity, and personal empowerment. All bodies, identities, and experience levels are welcome.
Bring:
- Water bottle
- Mat (if you have one)
- Towel (if you want to be naked and need to borrow a mat)

♥ About Blu:
Blu (they/them/pupself) is a trans nonbinary identifying “Dharma pup.” Formerly a wilderness first aid professional with a knack for teaching camping skills, they currently identify as a contemporary Buddhist meditation practitioner with a specialization in somatic voice healing. Blu holds a selection of mental health certifications and is in training under the supervision of a spiritual teacher to become a certified Vajrayana Spiritual Care provider.
Blu’s passion for klnk, BD$M, pet-pl@y, has been a lifelong adventure since adolescence. Being a dorky millennial child of the internet, they brought to life their first fursonas through digital art, online rolepl@y, and character building. Blu’s passion for the study of tantric Buddhism started a decade later, in 2012, when they sought refuge in monastic life to receive transmissions on formal techniques from world-renowned Vajrayana teacher Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche. During those few months in the monastic community, Blu was given their first singing bowl, launching a journey of self-discovery through sound healing and chanting. Blu hopes that all beings may be somehow liberated through voice; may the utterance of one vowel be like diving into a boundless joyous ocean!
