Transcend Fest 2025

What do you know about pleasure? Empower yourself to cultivate a satisfying sex life in this inclusive, discussion-based workshop led by pro sex educator Kim Adamski. Attendees of Practicing Pleasure will learn how to explore their sexuality, find out what works for them, and communicate with a partner or partners to create mutually satisfying sexual experiences.

Why does life unfold as it does—full of challenges, joys, and contradictions? The concept of the Lila offers an answer: life is a divine play, a sacred act where duality—light and shadow, pleasure and pain—comes together to teach us, to awaken us.

In this lecture-based workshop, we’ll explore the tantric perspective on Lila, moving beyond surface-level understanding to examine why we choose this earthly experience and what we stand to gain from it. Through the lens of tantra, duality is not an obstacle but an experience that can bring us toward self-realization and self-liberation.

You’ll leave this workshop with a new way of looking at your life—seeing the interconnectedness of all events, the lessons within contrast, and how embracing the Lila can bring clarity, joy, and balance to your journey. This is more than philosophy; it’s a way of living in peace with the world’s inherent ebbs and flows.
