Sex as Meditation: A Past Workshop

This post is from April 2018. The Sex as Meditation workshops I co-led with H. R. are no longer running. Many of the same ideas about presence, pleasure and desire are part of The Sex Class.

An Introduction to Sex as Meditation: how to turn the erotic into a mindfulness practice.

One of the core beliefs of Sex as Meditation is that erotic energy and sexuality are lenses we can use to deepen into the experience of being human. This connection can help us feel more present and free in our lives. In our sexual engagement lies the capacity to feel what is true for us at our core and to become our own best teachers.

Sex as Meditation intends to break the bonds of detrimental social norms and establish a deeper, more present relationship with ourselves and with others. Mindfully engaging our sexuality, our erotic selves, with pleasure and connection allows us to connect beyond conscious understanding.

In the workshop, we explored:

• how we feel and connect with our bodies
• our relationships with our passion and desire
• what stands in the way of getting what we truly want from our desires and erotic selves
• how to recognize and accept the intimacy, love and desire that are already present
• how to live our lives more fully, creatively and openly

The introductory workshop did not include any nudity or explicit sexuality. All genders and sexual orientations were welcome.
