Align your life, sexuality and relationships with your highest values and deepest desires. Connect to what’s essential. Dare to be fully present, truthful and alive in every moment. Dare to love!
Connecting to Deeper Resources
With this one-year training you have the opportunity to commit to a powerful transformation process within a safe and supportive environment. “Activate Your Deeper Life” assists you in creating the life you want, while adapting and responding to the accelerating change that is taking place in virtually every aspect of our culture.
What resources can assist you in navigating through current and coming changes? Which are the best traditional and contemporary tools to support fearless opening and wholesome integration of body & soul, heart & mind and sex & spirit? What is yet to be discovered, embodied and empowered in your life? Who will you be when you live your deepest truth? Who are you as a fully activated human being?
Exploring Personal, Relational and Universal Eros
As gay men, we may have experienced a kind of exile from the rest of culture. It is not surprising that our need for connection can get confused with our sexuality. In our culture Eros and sexuality have become synonymous terms. While Eros can be expressed through sexuality, it goes far beyond sex. When our receptivity to life's breadth and depth increases, we discover that life is propelled by Eros and made of love.
Empowering Queer Leadership
Embracing ALL of who and what you are, this training also serves to empower queer community and leadership. In the past we have asked the mainstream for acceptance. Now it is time to fully claim our seat at the table and let the unique gifts and perspectives of queer tribe contribute to the culture at large. If you are looking for a male community in which to take your personal & relational, sexual & spiritual life to the next level, then this is the training for you.
For One Year You Have The Opportunity To:

General Information

Prerequisite
Participants must be prepared to commit to a “daily practice” (time for embodiment, meditation and personal inquiry) throughout the year, as it will serve as the primary foundation for the training. Any difficulty that may come up around that is very welcome and serves as the fuel for our process. Coaching will be provided.
Participants should have had at least one entry level experience with Authentic Eros, Body Electric School, Gay Love Spirit or any other comparable men's work provider.

Thomas Merton wrote, “There is always a temptation to diddle around in the contemplative life, making itsy-bitsy statues.” There is always an enormous temptation in all of life to diddle around making itsy-bitsy friends and meals and journeys for itsy-bitsy years on end. It is so self-conscious, so apparently moral, simply to step aside from the gaps where the creeks and winds pour down, saying, I never merited this grace, quite rightly, and then to sulk along the rest of your days on the edge of rage. I won’t have it. The world is wilder than that in all directions, more dangerous and bitter, more extravagant and bright. We are making hay when we should be making whoopee; we are raising tomatoes when we should be raising Cain, or Lazarus. -- Annie Dillard, “Pilgrim at Tinker Creek” –
