After a recommendation from another post, I took a look around the Web...just to see what was being offered under this topic of merging sexuality, spirituality and the idea of retreat. I'm happy to report, there are many such offerings from around the world. Here's I've provided a sampling; I take no personal interest in any of them, nor am I safe-vouching them:
Healing the Sexual-Spiritual Split: A Weekend to RememberBy Michael Picucci
http://www.weboflove.org/inspiring_stories_08/080630_sexual_spiritual_healing
"As the afternoon session came to a close, participants were sharing their insights regarding their own repressed shaming messages, and wanted to know how they could continue this healing work on their own. I offered to share some techniques with them, and we designated time on Sunday morning for this purpose."
Tantric Sex and Spiritual Relationships
http://www.tantra-sex.com/tantracouples.html
"Spiritual Sex is not confined to the bedroom; it is a full way of life that celebrates and strives for the union of spirit, mind and body. We've all experienced ecstatic moments, times when we feel totally connected : an athlete who goes through "the wall"; a parent at the birth of a child; becoming lost in a sunset, a piece of music, nature's beauty. By cultivating the joy of your senses and harnessing your sexual energy you can begin to live every moment ecstatically."
Taoist Sexual Arts Retreat Sedonahttp://nourishingarts.com/wordpress/?page_id=53
"Our lineage does not emphasize the performance of rigid sexual techniques, but rather presents guidance on how to discover and feel the natural sexual energy that resides in you. In accordance with Taoist views, and adhering to the principle of non-interference, there will be nothing within this retreat that you must do."
Programs at Intimacy Retreatshttp://www.intimacyretreats.com/programs.htm
"The unique Tantra Tai Chi provides graceful exercises specifically designed to energize and synchronize your sexual, heart and spiritual centers. You return to your private accommodations for "homeplay" practice to deepen your connection with your Beloved through erotic massage, personalizing the principles learned at the workshop. (There is no sexual activity in group sessions.)"
So, these few samplings are provided...with a simple search of the Internet...a way for us to connect our sexuality to our spirituality. If anyone has any experiences with any of the above...or at a different venue, please share!
Namaste, deLuvCoach
