 The
Sacred Prostitute is the archetypal image of erotic spiritual unity.
The ancient
pre-christian traditions of women/men calling upon Goddess/God to
bless, heal, and touch the people with their herbs, ointments,,
rituals and lovemaking was the way of the sacred prostitute.
The names of
sacred prostitutes have been many from the ancient past to contemporary
times. Sacred prostitutes, sexual healers, witches sacred whores,
holy ones and sacred intimates are just few names for those who
have offered their gifts of spirit through their bodies, touch and
sexuality.
Like the archetype
of the peaceful warrior, the sacred prostitute is a change agent
through ways of touching. The themes of the peaceful warrior allow
us to create sacred temple space for healing, pleasure and ecstasy
to be shared.
As queer men
we have been wounded by families, religions and institutions that
told us sex and spirit are separate. The gifts of healing we have
for ourselves and each other lie in our ability to use our many
ways of touching with intentionality. In community as Flesh &
Spirit we take back the unity of the erotic and spiritual each time
we create temple space as the sacred prostitutes.
Food
will be provided |
In
this workshop we will explore ways of touching with intention
for healing.
We'll
play with erotic spiritual unity and the residual threads
of shame that hinder us from full celebration.
The
Sacred Prostitute: will foster:
- More
connection to yourself while offering pleasure and healing.
- Integrate
more of the erotic and spiritual.
- Enhance
touch that changes things, by using breath, sound, energy
work, intention and an abbreviated form of an ecstatic (Taoist/Tantric
erotic) massage.
