David Deida Inspired
Workshop and Gathering
 this Provocative and Empowering evening is
for both Men & Women

*  *  *

David Deida is an author (with over ten best selling books) and teacher of a new way of viewing and working with Masculine & Feminine energies.

David Deida's work is advanced and often controversial. He says that only one-half of one percent of the population is ready to be doing this work.

This work is for people who are interested in leaning into their edge. It's an environment in which you may be triggered and then supported around finding your deeper power and staying open in the face of life's challenges. This work is for people who want to laugh while noticing their buttons getting pushed.

It's about Radiance & Presence and Being at Choice around when and how you animate each. It's about fully owning and embodying Leading & Following, Masculinity & Femininity, Control & Surrender,  D/S ... from a place of choice, openness and love instead of being motivated by societal rules and one's own fear. Where love, truth, and creativity are valued over safety and conformity.

If you know of others that are ready to go swimming in the deep end -- invite them along. This is great opportunity to have fun playing with like minded people.

Schedule

6:45pm: Doors Open:
Arrive, finish registering, mingle/meditate/get settled

7:00pm: David Deida's Video: Spirit - Sex - Love
We'll watch parts of the video to set the frame and context for the evening.
I've seen this video over twenty times and each time I laugh out loud and learn something new (or get something more deeply that I thought I already understood). [See below for a description of the video.]

7:40pm: Facilitated Activities: led by Scott Longwell
Through paired and group exercises you'll have the opportunity to have embodied breakthroughs around: connection, openness, presence, radiance, emotional intimacy, and masculine & feminine dynamics.

David Deida Quotes

"Trust, love, what we call sexy, who we trust in a business situation, are all based on how open we are. Openness is bodily openness, muscular relaxation, heart openness as opposed to hiding behind some emotional wall, and spiritual openness, which is actually feeling so fully into the moment that there's no separation between you and the entire moment."
-- From "Opening Spiritually and Sexually," an audiotape by David Deida

"You need to feel your man's trustable presence before you will open your heart and body without guard. It's a step-by-step process of learning. He learns to be more present, you learn to be more open."
--From "Finding God Through Sex," a book by David Deida

"One of the deepest feminine pleasures is when a man stands full, present, and unreactive in the midst of his woman’s emotional storms. When he stays present with her, and loves her through the layers of wildness and closure, then she feels his trustability, and she can relax".
-- David Deida

"Spiritual practice is the capacity to offer your love even when you feel hurt, closed down, tense, angry, misunderstood, or hated."
-- David Deida

"One misunderstanding is that if you do the right thing, then life's storms will stop. If you do the right thing, the storms actually get bigger. This is because they know they can't blow you down like they used to, and now it's going to take a lot more energy to find out if you are conscious."
-- From "At Your Edge: Spiritual and Sexual Wisdom for Men," an audiotape by David Deida

"As a body in a world, here is our choice: we can be more loving or less loving. That's it. We can relax as the entire moment's show of love's swirl, feeling open as all--a vicious rainstorm, tweeting birds, our lover's lips, a sense of worthlessness--or we can close to some aspect of experience, pulling away as if we were separate."
-- From "Waiting To Love," a book by David Deida

"Masculine anger is always because you are feeling constrained, trapped by life. Feminine anger is always because you are feeling unloved."
-- David Deida

"Men who have lived significant lives are men who never waited: not for money, security, ease, or women."
-- David Deida

"The simplicity of it is this: give everything you have to give in every moment, completely."
--David Deida
