Practicing with Sexual Energy: Presence, Precepts and Power

April 23, 2016 @ 9:00 am - 3:00 pm

with Rev. Keiryu Liên Shutt and Rev. Daigan Gaither

What is it to stay upright in the midst of sexual energy? How do we not turn away from our experience or ourselves in the present moment? We will explore our intention to “not misuse sexuality” and how it both informs our practice and sexual choices within the context of our diverse lived experiences. How do we relate to desire in healthy and respectful ways, both for ourselves and with others? Are we using our energies or are they using us?

Join us as we explore what it means to practice while maintaining a healthy relationship to our sexual lives. Please bring your lunch to eat during our mid-day break.
