This sounds so spiritual:

Join us as we explore. engage, and uncover the interconnection of sexuality, spirituality, and shadow. By interweaving wisdom from the three traditions of Diane Musho Hamilton Sensei, Rabbi Marc Gafni and Sofia Diaz, we will explore why it is critical to integrate sex, spirit, and shadow on the spiritual path.

Through yogic practice, meditative inquiry, and interpersonal intimacy, we will deeply discover and refine how we engage these domains in our personal and professional lives.

Working in groups, with partners, and individually, we will:

* Explore the profound, provocative, and radically surprising relationship between sexuality, spirituality, and shadow
* Learn why it is vital to include these three domains in your spiritual journey
* Learn how to integrate all three of these vital domains into your practice life
* Untie knots in order to experience greater freedom, clarity, and compassion in your life
* Finally break down obstacles and melt away barriers that prevent you from living your Unique Life mission
* Uncover shadow material that has prevented you from living with an open heart
* Expand your mind and consciousness through perspective practices
* Learn how to conduct body, breath, and energy to gain greater intimacy
* Offer your deepest presence as love even when you are contracted

Rarely are contemplation, ecstatic movement, holy consideration and community evolution brought together, delighted in, and made manifest as an effective teaching vehicle.

If you crave great company, the profound pleasure of growth and laughter, and being challenged to the greatest depth of your gorgeous and evolving being, you will not want to miss this great adventure.

Dr. Marc Gafni is a rabbi and iconlastic teacher of Kabbalah and Evolutionary Spirituality. He is a core founder and faculty member of iEvolve: Global Practice Community as well as director of the Integral Life Spiritual Center of Integral Life. He has written seven books, including the national bestseller Soul Prints, and The Mystery of Love, a Kabbalistic exploration of the relationship between the sexual, the erotic, and the sacred. Gafni’s teaching is marked by a deep transmission of open heart, love and leading edge provocative wisdom. Gafni’s path of personal evolution, in both the agony and the ecstasy of what he calls “sacred autobiography,” woven together with profound reverence and reading of sacred texts have formed the context for his personal realization. It is from this place of broken-hearted humility, radical joy and and sacred audacity that he teaches.
