Leela Sullivan is a wellness & intimacy coach for individuals, couples and groups. She focuses on how to catalyze our life force energy to manifest a life we haven’t previously dared dream possible!
In March 2001, after 15 years of managing the accounting and finance divisions of various financial institutions, Leela resigned from the corporate world to become a yoga teacher. This led her on a journey in search of a deeper connection to source and sexual health. Her sexual healing journey provided Leela the inspiration, insights and many of the tools she now shares with others.
In addition to reclaiming her sexual health, this journey provided Leela the opportunity to be the Association of Sexual Energy Professionals Founding Treasurer and a dakini at the Phoenix Goddess Temple in 2008-2009. Leela currently serves in an advisory capacity on the Cuddle Party Board of Directors with a focus on creating “Teen Cuddle Party” as a format for sex positive education. Leela is passionate about empowering teens to become conscious, spiritual sexual beings. She is currently working on a book about father/daughter relationships and how to transition this crucial bond through and beyond puberty.
An abbreviated version of her personal journey can be found in the book “Heart of the Flower – The Books of Yonis.” Her website is www.LeelaSullivan.com
Short Presentation: Where Sacred Sexuality and Sacred Economy Meet – A “Revolution of Love”.
“What else but love would motivate any person to abandon the quest to maximize rational self-interest? Love, the felt experience of connection to other beings, contradicts the laws of economics as we know them. A money system aligned with the good in all of us? I will only say that such a shift can only happen atop an even deeper shift, a transformation of human consciousness. Happily, just such a transformation is underway today. We see it in anyone who had dedicated their lives to serving, healing, and protecting other beings: people, cultures, whales, children, ecosystems, the waters, the forests, the planet…In the ecological age, we are beginning to understand that we are connected beings, that the welfare of any species or people is aligned with our own. Our money system is inconsistent with this understanding, which is dawning among all 100 percent of us, each in a different way. I think the ultimate purpose of Occupy Wall Street, or the great archetype it taps into, is the revolution of love.”
The above is quoted from Charles Eisenstein in his article “Occupy Wall Street: No Demand is Big Enough” on the blog Reality Sandwich (read his full article here). As an ex-banker turned dakini, I am in a unique position to discuss the opportunity before us with Occupy Wall Street and the greater focus on sacred sexuality resulting from the Phoenix and Sedona Temple Raids. Join me in what’s sure to be a lively conversation!
