The Sexual Body: The Yoga of Bliss, Emptiness & Compassion with David Deida

August 31 - September 3, 2007


Open yourself to an unadulterated experience of living and loving. In this workshop, you will dive deeply into new ways to live your sexuality as a profound and ecstatic spiritual practice. Discover the art of sexual yoga, which enhances your heart’s depth and presence, turning lovemaking into whole-body prayer and communion. With courage and care, you will learn how to bring light into scary places, opening and healing the body, heart and mind. In the context of relationship, you will discover your inherent awareness and bliss to be portals for spiritual awakening and the expression of love’s resplendence.

In this workshop you will

• Discover how to use the body as a vehicle for ecstatic dissolution
• Understand why your deepest sexual gifts are often capped by your most intense resistance and how to relax through blocks in your sexual artistry
• Navigate the differences between men’s and women’s internal sexual circuitry
• Explore why honest and respectful communication can be very different from heart-awakening sex talk
• Find humor amidst anger, lust and jealousy
• Learn breathing techniques to increase, decrease and circulate sexual energy
• Design a deeply personal sexual yoga practice, both solo and in partnership
• Learn how to create and sustain the yoga of intimacy with the right partner

The workshop does not involve nudity and is open to singles and couples of any sexual orientation. Participants should be prepared for explicit use of language and intensive experiential practice.

To balance the number of men and women, we are accepting several additional men. Please complete the waitlist application to register or call us at 888-STUPA-21. All are welcome to waitlist and will be notified upon any opening.

"David Deida is the one western teacher of tantra whose books I read and whom I send students to learn from. The results of true practice, in any tradition, are unmistakable; David Deida demonstrates them."

— Lama Surya Das, author of Awakening the Buddha Within

"In the area of sacred intimacy, David Deida is holding a lightning bolt. He sheds an astonishing light."

— Marianne Williamson, author of A Return to Love

"We all taste God, taste Goddess, taste pure Spirit in those moments of sexual rapture, and wise men and women have always used that rapture to reveal Spirit’s innermost secrets. David Deida is such a wise one."

— Ken Wilber, author of Sex, Ecology, Spirituality

"David Deida’s teachings on this central human concern, sexuality, emanate from a deeply trustworthy source. He has undergone his own rigorous training and practice. And like Zen, the fruition of David's work is openness, compassion, and love."

— Genpo Roshi, author of The Eye Never Sleeps

David Deida’s work reveals a depth of loving the human condition and understanding its immanent spirituality I’ve seldom seen, even in a glimmer.
