    Unleashing the Power of your Heart, Mind & Body

 

WholeBody Wisdom is delighted to present
Third-Stage Intimacy
an evening  of edginess, play, growth and connection
for individuals, partners & friends

Are you willing to let go
of the illusion of safety and
venture into the 3rd Stage?

"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing."
 -- Helen Keller

"Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death."
-- Anais Nin

"If you're not amazed by how naive you were yesterday,
you're standing still.
If you're not terrified of the next step,
your eyes are closed.
If you're standing still and your eyes are closed,
you're only dreaming you're awake.
A caged bird in a boundless sky."
-- Jed McKenna

Will you join us on this journey out of our cages and into the boundless sky?

A evening that's filled with people committed to spend the day practicing the Vision, Practices, and Values described below. With all of us on the same page, we're able to spread our wings and soar ...

Third-Stage Relating
7:45-9:45ish

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

"Feminine and masculine needs for appreciation grow though levels, from self-doubt, to self-assurance, to self-giving.

At the lower levels, a relationship can be rife with neediness: you are needy for constant reassurance that you are loved, desired, and attractive, and your masculine partner is needy for your admiration of his success and attainments. The middle levels of growth involve developing self-appreciation, self-acceptance, and self-admiration. The higher levels of growth involve surrendering open and giving your deepest gifts of love and freedom -- in spite of whether you feel appreciated by others or yourself."
-- From "Finding God Through Sex," a book by David Deida

"I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man
who compels my strength,
who makes enormous demands on me,
who does not doubt my courage or my toughness,
who does not believe me naive or innocent,
who has the courage to treat me like a woman."
-- Anais Nin

Through paired and group exercises you'll have the opportunity to embody new skills and new ways of being that will enable you to be more connected, free, and radiant in your personal and professional relationships.

"Give all your love. I mean all your love.
Why not?
What do you think you can gain by holding back?"
 -- David Deida

You'll expand your ability to be powerful while being loving and emotionally intimate.  You'll explore the power & freedom of: Leading AND Following, Masculine AND Feminine, Direct AND Subtle ...

"The feminine grows spiritually by learning to live as love rather than by hoping for it. The masculine grows spiritually by learning to live as freedom rather than by struggling for it."
-- David Deida

You'll experience new levels of aliveness and wisdom as you connect with more parts of yourself.

"Nothing must be flinched from. It all must be felt, right to the heart, every last fiber of it, every in and out of it, every glory and every horror, felt with pure vulnerability and openness of eye, without any emotional dissociation."
-- Robert Augustus Masters

And you'll experience that, with more choice and connection to a wider range of your internal resources, you're able to be more open, more often. From that place you'll experience a deeper, more satisfying intimacy -- with your self and with others.

"The truly faithless one is the one who
makes love to only a fraction of you.
And denies the rest."
-- Anais Nin

"If you are with a man you don't trust, it is only because you prefer unsurrendered love to surrendering wide open in total trust. It feels safe. You are afraid to let go of control -- part of you doesn't trust love's command -- so you have chosen a man who doesn't demand your surrender with his depth of integrity. If you did trust the command of love, you would only settle for a deep man capable of opening you more deeply than you could instruct him."
 --From "Dear Lover," a book by David Deida

"We must see that we are afraid of the thing we most desire, and so we live a mediocre life, never bringing to consummation the primary impulse of our heart."
-- David Deida

Intimacy Lounge
a "Third-Stage" celebration
9:45ish - ???
(To attend the Intimacy Lounge you MUST have attended the preceding Third-Stage Relating workshop.)

"The value of the personal relationship to all things is that it creates intimacy... and intimacy creates understanding... and understanding creates love."
-- Anais Nin

Now that we've been grounded, filled-up and deeply-connected through participation in the previous workshop, we can share our best and truest selves -- from a place of ease, joy and personal choice.
