Can Spirituality and Sexuality co- exsist?
Does one have to be celibate in order to be spiritual ?
Is it so ?
Or, is the reverse even more true ?
What is male ?
What is female ?
What is right ?
What is wrong ?

The allowance of flow, sexual flow, arousal,life force .... the most powerful force that we know, raw energy that can both heal and destroy.

Approaching and experiencing this subject of sexuality , together with two dozen other souls , with an open mind; without judgement or preconceived ideas.

Sharing life experiences.
Sharing secrets .
Talking about shadows, fears, uncertainties,

It was this willingness of each and everyone persent to fully particpate , to e present ,willing to give as well as to receive that made this weekend's wprkshop such a success.

Communication
Dance
Movement

Beauty
Laughter
Joy

Spirit is present in all things.

Do you ?

Do you ALLOW yourself to get aroused?

We are all sexual beings , more or less.

Have you noticed how and when you stop yourself from feeling and experiencing fully in the moment ?

What beliefs and thoughts get in the way ?

I am not necessarily talking about arousal that leads to penetrative sex ..no no.... arousal ..desire ....lust .. passion .. deep appreciation... being struck by beauty , taste, sight, smell, touch ...

EROs's job is to arouse and to stir up.. create chaos.. a potentially creatove space .. where something can be born.

Eros (Greek: Ἔρως) was the primordial god of lust, love, and intercourse; he was also worshipped as a fertility deity. His name is the root of words such as erotic. In some myths, he was the son of the deity Aphrodite. Like Dionysus, he was sometimes referred to as Eleutherios, "the liberator". His Roman equivalent was Cupid, "desire", also known as Amor, "love".

EROS and THANATOS work together.

Eros - Life force
Thantatos - Death

In Greek mythology, Thanatos (in Ancient Greek, θάνατος – "death") was the personification of death (his Roman equivalent was Mors), and a minor figure in Greek mythology. Thanatos was a son of Nyx (Night) and Erebus (Darkness) and twin of Hypnos (Sleep). In early mythological accounts, Thanatos was perceived as a powerful figure armed with a sword, with a shaggy beard and a fierce face. His coming was marked by pain and grief.

It felt great hearing all the positive encouragíng feedback.
Many students came up to me after the course with positive feedback , all very appreciative. A. also wants me to assist her again and offered to give me a glowing reference.

Dream last night
Janet and I are staying with some poeple .
As I look out of the window someone says that we are in Archway.
Oh ... I've stayed in this part of London .. I should know where I am.
I ask if there is a shop nearby that sells clothes. I 'd like to buy a black top to wear underneath a short or T shirt.
Someone tells me that they eat at 9 ,5 and then at midnight
That 's too late for me , I tell them
I like to eat a little and often.

( Both Janet and Archway are from my past . I wonder if that is significant.
Janet is a bossy , rather unusual Welsh girl with big boobs,long dark hair, manipulative , funny ,charming, lies , has older twisted around her little finger, someone you'd imagine being a dominant and , forceful figure in a power exchange situation.

The Archway flat , a comune , changed hands many times, a place where you could usually get a bed for the night or at least floor space when visiting London. )
