Sexual Healing Training Intensive

Frequently Asked Quesitons

Does this qualify me to become a Sexual Healer?

    That depends entirely on what skills you have before you walk in the door. Healing work of any kind can be as simple as listening well or as complex as surrogate intimacy. It depends on your already developed inner resources, your people skills, and then other skills particular to sexuality.

    For some this will add a new element to an existing practice. For others, it will be an introductory immersion experience.  For others, it will deepen and empower their sexual healing practice.

    So - it depends on you and on what form of practice you aspire to. For most people, it's a start.

How can it serve people with so many different backgrounds?

    Much of what we teach is not taught anywhere else, so it will be new to you and will apply no matter what your experience. Other skills taught will be essential to any kind of work. Then we will adjust to the needs of the group.

    For those with extensive experience, you are likely to find answers to things that have long puzzled you. Your challenge will be to take your own experience a step deeper.

Do I have to be a professional to attend?

    No, you do not. Sometimes people attend who are interested, or think they might be, in becoming a professional. Others attend who are ready for an in-depth experience in their own erotic education or personal healing skills. Sometimes people are interested in healing work only with family or friends.

    Either way, the nature of the experience is both personally healing and develops skills useful with others. Because of the depth of the work, it is not appropriate for someone with no experience of erotic or personal exploration. If you have any question about where you fit, please call us!

I am already a successful professional. Why would I want this? 

    Because some of what we teach is not taught anywhere else, I can guarantee that you will learn something new that will enrich both your personal and professional life. Many students have told me that this experience answered things that have puzzled them for years and that they continue to find new territory.

    Specifically, the experiences and material on autonomy, domain, clarity of communication and understanding the 4 dynamics of all sensual interactions are completely unique in this field, and make all the difference in the world to making your sessions safe, effective and satisfying.

    This work will take your own journey and your work to a deeper level of joy and integrity.

Will we learn massage or other bodywork skills?

    The primary focus of this training in regards to touch is first, the quality of touch. This requires respect, care and attention to perception, and applies to any form of touch you are engaged in, whether personal, professional, therapeutic, recreational or instructional.   

    This will be taught clearly, step by step, and in depth, and is far more important to your success than any particular technique.

    In addition, we will teach basic principles of massage skills and bring in a sample of various styles, so that you are comfortable and confident. However, there is not time to go into depth with any particular technique such as lomi lomi or others.

    Bodywork is a part of the training, but not the whole thing.

I am primarily a counselor. Do I have to take up bodywork to work in sexual healing?

    Not at all. You may find the communication, choice and clarity parts of the training to be most useful to you. You will find, though, that the touch skills will help you appreciate other aspects of embodiment and further your own growth.

I am already a bodyworker. Will there be anything new for me?

    Absolutely! Ditto to the answer above.

    In particular, if you are contemplating adding mutual touch or any kind of interaction to your work, these parts of the training will be essential. As you know, once your client gets off the table, everything is more complex!

What should I wear?

    We will be moving – a lot! Comfortable, soft clothes in layers. Also great to bring wraps and sarongs to quickly throw on when getting up from the massage table.

Will there be nudity?

    Yes. However, your choice is always respected. This is more than words. Respecting choice is part of the curriculum, and we are serious about it.

Will I receive a massage?

    Yes. Ditto for respecting your choice.

Will there be genital touch?

    Yes. Ditto for respecting your choice.

Will there be sexual intercourse or oral sex?

    Absolutely not.

What should I do to prepare?

    If you have chosen to attend,you are already in process, internally. If you like, you may reflect on your own personal erotic history, what brings you here and what you hope to learn. We will be sharing that at the beginning.

    Please refrain from alcohol or other recreational drugs for a week before the event.
