Saturday’s Presentation:

It has only been a relatively short period of time in our history in the Modern world, that sex, for the purpose of pleasure and without the goal to procreate, has been both accepted and promoted as vehicle for greater health, happiness, and basis for intimate stability in our relationships. And although we have made the mental and emotional distinctions between our desire for sensual pleasure and our desire to procreate, we have not yet fully exploited other ways of  genital stimulation from which we derive sensual pleasure other than through intercourse. Ironically, our bodies and our hormone producing brains make no such distinction. When we engage in intercourse for either pleasure or baby making, our brain and our body go into full procreation mode, and whether we desire it or not, we are unknowingly immediately “download” our genetic blueprints for what will create and sustain a successful offspring, which would be, a healthy, loving, long lasting, at least for the next 12 years, relationship. It is no wonder that most consenting adults that enter into a pleasure negotiated relationship with as their main vehicle rarely last as long time lovers.

But what if we were to engage in pleasure with one another in a way that did not necessarily activate this primordial command? What if we had the opportunity as consenting adults to truly understand the greatest depths of intimacy with another human being through a path of pleasure and sensation knowing full well that we were not the best match for family and/or offspring? What if we could experience intimacy through conscious pleasure with the same degree of reverence and divinity that we might ave in consciously creating a new life? Such Intimacy IS possible and it all lies in our ability to both provide and receive ecstatic pleasure through the touch of our hands! But it is more than just a sensual touch. It is a touch that when delivered from a matrix of awareness and consciousness will flow and evolve into a depth of love and intimacy that we as human beings yearn for.

  • You’re wondering how to attract the perfect complement to your juicy, higher self…
  • You’re longing for something “more” out of your relationships but feel like you’re not spiritual or “sacredly experienced” enough to pursue the men and women you resonate with…

Short Presentation: Erotic Freedom Trance Movement*

Many tantrics believe that the path to spiritual attainment and liberation can be achieved through a thoroughly sensuous appreciation of life. In this gathering with Rev. Goddess we will explore sensuous play while wearing a blindfold to achieve the deepening needed to altered states of consciousness. This altered state of consciousness is a pathway of releasing blocks and embracing the Divine/your Freedom Spirit.

Music, chanting, song/chants. sensual to erotic movement connecting heart and sex center will play a role in our altered state of being.

Not seeing and not knowing what will happen next while wearing your blindfold opens you to a deep level of awareness and trust that will open you to the freedom that we all possess.

More than half of this gathering will be participated blindfolded. We will guide our erotic spirits on a deepening expedition of our soul to free our ability to love fully in our Holy Bodies in this life.

*Please bring a towel and a blindfold.

Short Presentation:  Making Love in the Channeled State

Our sexuality is one of our most powerful tools;  it mimics the original creative act and through our sexual bodies we experience some of the most holy privileges of being in human form.  In our society, sex for many people who have yet to awaken to their own truly Divine nature has become an empty and compulsive experience focused on a single dimension: physical pleasure alone.  Many of these persons are simply experiencing the re-living of patterns that have become stuck in their nervous systems, minds and energy bodies, not even realizing that they have the opportunity to be rebirthed, to recreate themselves in a sacred union of Love.  For those who experience sex in this unconscious way, transference of energies can be de-stabilizing and imbalanced, with both partners taking and neither opening the heart and giving the exchange of Love that makes sexual exchange a healing opportunity for  growth and the manifestation of all that can be birthed in the frequency of Love, also called The Channeled State.
Learning how to enter the channeled state will open up your higher senses and teach you how to allow a complete flow of Love frequencies to move through your entire chakra system.  Embracing this skill will effect all aspects of your life, empowering you and teaching you to access and trust the Divine guidance that pours into you, through you, and most importantly from the Divine Source of Light-Consciousness within you.  The path of channeling makes you your own Guru and empowers you to exact change in yourself, in your life, and in the lives of others in integrity and Love.  We will discuss in detail the benefits of this exercise in consciousness and how it can be used with your partner for deep healing and the manifestation of desire.

Be there, and Be Love.
evolve. deliberately.
