An Erotic Touch and Orgasmic Yoga Training for Ecstatics with Joseph Kramer and Ellen Heed
Retreat: 20-24 October, 2010
Home Immersion: 25 October--22 November, 2010
Savoring Erotic Trance States begins with a four-day retreat (20-24 October, 2010) at Gunnebah Retreat Centre, Murwillumbah, Australia, followed by a month of guided home practice sessions with friends and lovers (25 October—22 November). This intensive training offers you the skills, guidance, resources and motivation to create the most erotic month of your entire life. During our four days of living together close to the earth at Gunnebah Retreat Centre, participants will learn to give and actively receive Taoist Erotic Massage. We will also explore solo and partnered Orgasmic Yoga practices. Your learning and practice sessions will continue for thirty days when you return home, supported by weekly group phone coaching sessions, by an online course workbook and by more than forty hours of online video demonstrations at www.eroticmassage.com. All varieties of erotic pioneers and ecstatics are welcome in this training: couples, singles, women, men, straights, gays, extraverts and even hermits.
Gunnebah Erotic Touch Retreat
20-24 October 2010
The core learning in the four days at Gunnebah involves both savoring and making use of the astonishing erotic trance states produced by sustained erotic touch and Orgasmic Yoga. Communal erotic states experienced in nature are nourishing and transformative beyond what most of us think is erotically possible. Practicing Orgasmic Yoga liberates our hearts and genitals from habit. Giving and receiving Taoist Erotic Massage increases our capacity for intimacy and pleasure. During this retreat, you will consciously touch and be touched by your fellow erotic explorers. Committed couples can choose to practice intimate touch exclusively with their partners. You will be supported in carrying your retreat experiences into your month of home practice and beyond.
A Month of Expanding Erotic Capacities
14 October—15 November 2010
In the four weeks following our erotic touch gathering, we will continue to research the altered states of consciousness that come from practicing Orgasmic Yoga and from giving and actively receiving erotic touch. The online course materials, video demonstrations, and phone coaching sessions will support you in accessing and making use of a variety of erotic trance states. Since the most profound somatic learning is self-directed, you choose your own level of participation in this embodiment training. Some participants will commit to daily erotic practice sessions while others will choose to practice less.
The group phone coaching sessions with Joseph Kramer (18 October and 1, 8, 15, 22 November at 19:00 EST) will support your home practice. These optional phone sessions will include breathing meditations, guidance on benefiting from erotic trance states, and time for you to share about your experiences or to ask questions.
More about Taoist Erotic Massage and Orgasmic Yoga
Taoist Erotic Massage is an erotic-spiritual practice that connects the genitals with all parts of one’s body. The result is erotic embodiment. The massage involves conscious breathing, prolonged sexual stimulation and a yogic technique called The Big Draw. This massage has been called “the LSD of sex!”
Orgasmic Yoga involves pleasurable, intimate and transformative practices that individuals, couples, or groups can do while sexually aroused. These practices always include mindful breathing, movement, touch and placement of attention. Orgasmic Yoga is both erotic meditation and profound somatic education.
