David Deida is an author (with over ten best
selling books) and teacher of a new way of
viewing
and working with Masculine & Feminine energies.
David Deida's work is advanced and often controversial. He says that only one-half of one percent of the population is ready to be doing this work.
This work is for people who are interested in leaning into their edge. It's an environment in which you may be triggered and then supported around finding your deeper power and staying open in the face of life's challenges. This work is for people who want to laugh while noticing their buttons getting pushed.
It's about Radiance & Presence and Being at Choice around when and how you animate each. It's about fully owning and embodying Leading & Following, Masculinity & Femininity, Control & Surrender, D/S ... from a place of choice, openness and love instead of being motivated by societal rules and one's own fear. Where love, truth, and creativity are valued over safety and conformity.
If you know of others that are ready to go swimming in the deep end -- invite them along. This is great opportunity to have fun playing with like minded people.

David Deida's Video: Spirit - Sex - Love
We'll watch parts of the video to set the
frame and context for the evening.
I've seen this video over twenty times and each time I laugh out loud and
learn something new (or get something more deeply that I thought I already
understood). [See below for a description of the
video.]
7:45pm:
Facilitated Activities: led by Scott Longwell
Through paired and group exercises you'll have the

insightful, and filled with practical understandings and wisdom that

Longwell
"Trust, love, what we call sexy, who we trust in a business situation, are
all based on how open we are. Openness is bodily openness, muscular
relaxation, heart openness as opposed to hiding behind some emotional
wall, and spiritual openness, which is actually feeling so fully into the
moment that there's no separation between you and the entire moment."
-- From "Opening Spiritually and Sexually," an audiotape by David Deida
"You
need to feel your man's trustable presence before you will open your heart
and body without guard. It's a step-by-step process of learning. He
learns to be more present, you learn to be more open."
--From "Finding God Through Sex," a book by David Deida
"One
of the deepest feminine pleasures is when a man stands full, present, and
unreactive in the midst of his woman’s emotional storms. When he stays
present with her, and loves her through the layers of wildness and
closure, then she feels his trustability, and she can relax".
--
David Deida
"Spiritual practice is the capacity to offer your love even when you feel
hurt, closed down, tense, angry, misunderstood, or hated."
--
David Deida
"One misunderstanding is that if you do the right thing, then life's
storms will stop. If you do the right thing, the storms actually get
bigger. This is because they know they can't blow you down like they used
to, and now it's going to take a
lot more energy to find out if you are conscious."
-- From "At Your Edge: Spiritual and Sexual
Wisdom for Men," an audiotape by David Deida
"As a body in a world, here is our choice: we
can be more loving or less loving. That's it. We can relax as the entire
moment's show of love's swirl, feeling open as all--a vicious rainstorm,
tweeting birds, our lover's lips, a sense of worthlessness--or we can
close to some aspect of experience, pulling away as if we were separate."
-- From "Waiting To Love," a book by David Deida
"Masculine anger is always
because you are feeling constrained, trapped by life. Feminine anger is
always because you are feeling unloved."
-- David Deida
"Men who have lived significant lives are men who never waited: not for
money, security, ease, or women."
-- David Deida
"The simplicity of it is
this: give everything you have to give in every moment, completely."
--David Deida

The Purpose of WholeBody Wisdom is to empower and integrate all parts of yourself -- so that you can be:
Passionate,
Powerful,
Open, and
Loving
in the face of real world challenges.
WholeBody Wisdom
is based on the belief that we are the most powerful and free when we have integrated all parts of ourselves into one healthy system.
This system includes the mental body, the physical body, the
emotional body,
the intuitive body and the sexual body.
When each body is aligned with our core essence, and the bodies are
synergistically functioning together -- we can experience the greatest peace of mind
as we joyfully serve ourselves, our relationships and the world around us.
We believe that each body has valid wants, needs, desires and concerns.
These need to be, at the very least, heard and acknowledged.
Each body also has unique wisdom, strength and guidance to share with the other areas of the self. We are at our wisest when we are able to hold court listening to the interests, concerns and wisdom of each part of ourselves. Not being controlled by any one, but being advised and supported by them all.
WholeBody Wisdom offers workshops & private sessions which help men, women and couples embody powerful ways of being that can transform their life, their relationships, and the world around them.

What
are the real spiritual and sexual differences between men and women?
How can we learn to use our intimate relationships as vehicles for
spiritual growth? How can we deepen our sexual loving so that it
becomes a divine sacrament of ecstasy? How can we use the inevitable
difficulties that come up in intimacy as potent catalysts for ever
greater heart-communion?
