Metaphysical Network Presents Don Giberson, Talk Title: "Enlightened Sexuality: Pleasure as a Spiritual Practice", Thursday, March 19, 2020, 7pm, suggested donation $7.00
Sacred Sexuality:
Pleasure as a Spiritual Practice
Presented by Don Giberson
In many of the eastern religions, sexuality is considered sacred; a pathway to the divine.
Somatic Sex Education is an exciting, new and emerging field that draws on these traditions and explores how following our body's wisdom and innate desire for pleasure can lead to learning, healing, growth and, yes, even enlightenment!
In this fun and interactive "playshop", you will learn about the fascinating new field of somatic sex education and explore ways to:
- Connect to your body's innate wisdom;
- Use pleasure as a pathway to learning, healing, growth and spiritual development;
- Awaken and direct erotic energy; your original "source" energy;
- Heal trauma and stuck energy stored in your body;
- Overcome feelings of guilt or shame about your body and your desires;
- Know, and ask for, what you truly want
- Navigate and negotiate consensual touch
Sacred Sexuality is presented by Don Giberson. Don has been a member of Unity for over 25 years and on a path of spiritual exploration for nearly 3 decades. That path recently led him to enrol in the Somatic Sex Educator program and to explore the intersection of sexuality and spirituality.

Sacred Hawaiian Healing: Ho'oponopono Healing Circle with Shaeah, Monday March 23rd- 7:00p.m.
|
Sacred Hawaiian Healing: Ho'oponopono Healing Circle,
7pm-9pm
New Date: Monday, March 23rd
by donation
This will be a powerful community gathering for the purpose of deep healing, liberation and connection. Ho'oponopono is an ancient Hawaiian Healing Process that involves reconciliation and forgiveness. Ho'oponopono means to make right what is right which is all about saying or doing what needs to bring oneself back into integrity with oneself, with others or with life. Often forgiveness is involved, mostly of self and a reclaiming of what's been lost through holding on to anything that doesn't serve. It's a process of remembering who you are, that you are connected to Spirit, that you are whole and that you can heal. It's a process of liberating yourself from old hurts and making space for more love, compassion and connection. When we come together as a community with the intention of healing miracles can and do truly happen.
Shaeah Love brings over 20 years of practice in yoga, meditation and healing arts. Her personal experience of chronic pain, fatigue and depression, led the profound journey to explore and awaken to her own personal power and purpose. Sacred Hawaiian Healing has allowed her to honour and celebrate her connection to the natural world and has given her confidence in the power of love to heal.
