SEXY SCHOOL - PLAYING WITH POWER    April 15

Keith has been a massage therapist all his working life; however, he especially loved the experience he and his receiver felt while working on their feet.

It's beyond Reflexology, he explains. I make it an art form, he continues.

Keith uses time, attention, and touch to transform a simple foot massage into a pediCURE.

If the eyes are the window of the soul, perhaps the feet are the door," says Keith. 

The slower you go," he continues, "the faster you arrive."


In this class, you will learn how to confidently caress your lover's feet by utilizing the Power of your Presence and your in-TOE-itive intelligence.

Join Keith's deep dive into the healing magic two people can create when true presence is applied to a friendly, sweet foot rub.

 GYAN AMIN

Gyan is an author and massage therapist who lives in Taiwan and specializes in belly massage, pelvic opening techniques, breathwork, and acupressure.

His book Lovehand™ -- Primal Body Magic: New ways to heal for a new world includes insights about his 19 years with clients and their deep healing.

"I have seen true magic happen through this work. And it is these miracles that give me the confidence and passion to share my methods with you." 

 
Often, the abdomen and pelvis are ignored by massage therapists or are treated technically, he says. However, deep transformation occurs when he and his clients bring presence to the energy housed in these areas, particularly, he says, after realizing the connection between the physical and the emotional.  
 
"Healing via our gut and sexual energy is powerful and it’s time to welcome new solutions that are needed in our new world. It’s time to open the conversation."   
 
Join his talk as he offers deep nourishment designed for our changing world and the profound shifts we all need.​https://www.lovehand.asia/

For the last several years, Suzanne has presented her cannabis and female orgasm research at the World Conference on Sexual Medicine and at the Cannabis Clinical Outcomes Research Conference. 

Female orgasmic disorder is the second most common sexual complaint among women, affecting up to 41 percent of women worldwide. Her project will be the first study of its kind to make this evaluation.

"The use of cannabis reduces female sexual difficulties, such as pain during sex, arousal, and desire issues, by 21 percent," says Suzanne. 

"My long-term desire," Suzanne continues, "is to develop a training program to train sex therapists and the like to become Orgasmologists for women. I know there is a gender issue here that needs to be resolved."

              CAPRICE JACKSON

Everyone’s path to discovering their sexual identity is unique.
 
In Caprice Jackson’s case, it involved a myriad of experiences, including spending her early 20s as a Buddhist monk seeking enlightenment. 
 
She then became a children’s book author and illustrator; however, she gave up that career to follow a Guru.
 
Then, in her early 60s, Caprice had the profound realization that the male role was unnatural to her. And always had been!
 
"I look forward to sharing a little about my life," she says, "and the challenges and joys of my experience as a trans woman."

TALKING ABOUT TRANS            APRIL 15

​

"Erotism is the primal flame," she says. And erotic appeal is highly visual, she continues.

 

"Fire is connected to our sense of sight. Let's awaken passion!"

For over 20 years, she taught classes at John F. Kennedy University and the California College of the Arts in Oakland/San Francisco, focusing on World Cultures and Unitive Spirituality.

More recently, Isabella has felt a deep calling to offer Goddess Empowerment workshops in California and Ajijic, Mexico, where she has lived since 2021 as an "artist of living in (almost) perpetual joy." 

 

In her Goddess workshops, women explore in fun and interactive ways how archetypes, mythic stories, and qualities of Goddesses are alive within them and how they express them (or not) in their personal and professional lives.

 

After all, says Isabella, "The story of the Goddess is also our story. It is the story of birth, childhood, adulthood, and death, the story of love and healing, renewal and change."


Join Isabella as we explore how some of the (more juicy) Goddess archetypes are alive within us!
