 Come and play in a group of erotic explorers and open up the amazing potential that lives within your erotic self. Identify and cultivate the spark that stirs inside you, trusting it to lead you to your erotic fire.
Interrupt the patterns of habit, judgment, or comparison that block your sexual freedom. Practice surrender and spontaneity. Be real. Have fun. Step fearlessly into the ecstasy that lives inside your body and soul. Can you imagine that?
At Authentic Eros, we will use breath, touch, movement, sound and sensual experience as doorways to a freer and more fulfilling sexuality. We will work with the desires and growth of each man, emphasizing individual freedom of choice and accountability. Authentic Eros offers a safe and supportive environment for each participant to explore his own erotic development in the company of others with a similar commitment.
Much of this retreat will be clothes off and interactive. We will work with ourselves, with partners, and with the group as a whole. No prior experience is required. However, each participant will be asked to bring a sincere willingness to go deep, to be truthful, and to play in the energies of creativity, arousal, and embodiment.
AUTHENTIC = real, spontaneous, organic, fun
EROS = sex, love, intimacy, connection
The goal of this workshop is to help you get INTO your body and get OUT of your habits
that lead to sexual boredom and dissatisfaction.
To expand your ability to create intimate,
erotic self-expression, you will:
 Dive deeply into full-body sensory awareness and energy work: Waking up your body and increasing its range of responses to pleasure/sensual interaction are key pieces of Authentic Eros. We will use breath, movement, and hands-on experiences to charge up our joy-bodies. From there we will practice entering into unpredictable, flowing encounters with a partner.
- Be proactive about creating the sex/intimate life of your dreams: Some of the juicy questions we will focus on are: What do I want more of in my life, erotically, physically, emotionally? What do I want less of? What are the obstacles that keep me from moving toward what I want?
- Explore the shadow side of sexual attraction: Without being aware of it, much of our daily energy is wrapped up in projections. Parts of ourselves that we don’t like or that we can’t tolerate get projected onto an “other” person creating a negative or positive projection. Shadow work serves to “call back” these disowned aspects of ourselves and to integrate them. This frees up a lot of energy, which then can be used to fuel the positive connections you want to make with yourself and others.
