Sacred Sexuality:
Pleasure as a Spiritual Practice
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.

| Join Metaphysical Network Online with Tracy Makarenko, "What is a Healthy Vibration? and a Guided Visualization at 6:30pm April 2nd |
ONLINE-Metaphysical Network Presents: What's A Healthy Vibration? And a Guided Visualization, with Tracy Makarenko, on April 2nd, 6:30 watch online or register and get a copy sent to your email, suggested donation $7.00
There is so much going on right now with many of us at home. Tracy has offered to take you on a wonderful journey. She will first tell you about her own amazing journey which led her to write her book, "Moving from the Outside, In." Then get comfortable as Tracy takes you through a guided visualization that will raise your frequency. She will also be available to answer online questions.
bio:
Tracy Makarenko coauthored the #1 Amazon bestseller, "I AM a Brilliant Woman" Vol I, and shares her personal truth in the book, "Moving from the Outside, In." She is a Certified Holistic Life Coach & Intuitive Healer and has been helping people find their truth by guiding them to uncover and heal deep traumas using her innate abilities to sense energy. Tracy is an intellectual intuitive, a truth seeker, a soul whisperer and has the ability to help heal others at so many levels, adjusting and elevating their frequencies, and transforming their perception towards a happier and healthier life. She does this through her coaching practice, written work, and several workshops she has developed.
Raising my frequency and keeping it high has always been an important part of how I live and what I teach. That wasn't always the case. Twenty years ago my life needed to change, for many reasons. It took a lot of work to get me to a place where my frequency was high and I was happy, healthy, and prosperous. The guided visualization I'll be sharing with you will help identify exactly where you are in life and guide you towards the changes necessary in order to increase your vibration.
Right now it is more important than ever to maintain a high vibration or raise your frequency even higher. Let's make it more difficult for those darker, negative energies to entering our body by sharing our brilliant white light with the world!
Can't attend?
Not a problem.
If you can't attend live and want to watch a recording of the presentation, please go to the link above after the presentation is over.
To attend, go online through your phone, tablet or computer at 6:30 pm Pacific on Thursday, April 2nd at the link below:
