Experiencing The Heart of Stillness: An Erotic/Contemplative Retreat

This six-day retreat features the Body Electric tradition of honoring the wisdom of the erotic body, and combines it with the ancient teachings of meditation and silence. The goal of this week is to experience erotic pleasure within the context of spiritual practices. It will be a week to slow down and to get to know your body and mind in ways not experienced before.

We will establish a safe and nurturing setting where different forms of erotic massage and touch are part of our daily time together. Mornings will include instruction in various forms of meditation and stillness practices as well as daily yoga. The afternoon sessions will focus on erotic massage and intentional touch. The retreat will involve extended periods of what is referred to in Buddhism as noble silence.

While no previous experience with meditation is required, it is recommended that participants be familiar with and or desirous of creating a contemplative practice.

The workshop begins with dinner on Monday evening and ends with lunch on Sunday.
