Depth & Desire—Fall Tantric Workshop

  • Una Vida Meditation & Movement (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Skills for a night… and a lifetime.

Embodied shared passion is one of the most profound and meaningful experiences for us as humans. Love and intimacy are at the core of our primal life force. How can we channel and conduct this intensity in our lives and relationships? How can you widen your horizons of sensual delight while deepening who you are as a human being? How can you do this with safety and honesty, while navigating moment to moment changing cues from your partner, and develop greater trust in the innate intelligence of your body? Come to this workshop and learn how.

Love and physical intimacy can be practiced and deepened as a fulfilling art - few people work to expand their capacities in this area. Tantra, as explored in this workshop, is based upon Taoist and Buddhist esoteric practices, which reveal the never-ending dance between form and consciousness, yin and yang, responsive nature, and skillful action. These tantric practices tell the truth already present in your heart and indicate how to express it through your body. Tantric intimacy can be a path of spiritual realization for all those who yearn to awaken and be free, while still being fully present and highly functioning in the world. 

Reading books and watching videos is no substitute for actual practice with real partners. In this workshop, you will learn through exercises designed to stretch and grow your capacity to conduct energy and communicate love. Come practice with others who are also committed to expanding and learning in real deep intimacy.

In this workshop, you will:

  • Learn practices to move energy through your and your partner’s bodies using breath, consciousness, and relaxation

  • Embrace and embody Masculine and Feminine energies from the dark to the light

  • Expand your capacity to feel and remain open and connected as love, even in moments which are challenging or intense

  • Practice artfully expressing any emotion—anger, sorrow, fear, lust – with an open heart

  • Experience deep energetic intimacy through connected breathing- opening the body, heart, and soul

  • Discover how your turn-on is intimately linked to your spiritual awareness

  • Awaken and access the wisdom already present in your body to guide, nurture, inspire and delight yourself and those around you

Embodied shared passion has got to be one of the most profound and meaningful experiences for us as humans.

Love and intimacy are, at the core, our primal life force.

How can we channel and conduct this intensity in our lives and relationships? How can you widen your horizons of sensual delight while deepening who you are as a human being? How can you do this safely and honestly while navigating moment-to-moment changing cues from your partner?

How can you access the depth of emotion and soul that sex promises instead of a shallow exchange of physical needs?

Love and physical intimacy can be an art form, yet few people work to expand their capacities in this area. Reading books and watching videos are no substitutes for practicing with real partners.

In this introductory event, bring your questions and curiosity. You will learn through guided practices. Come practice with others who are committed to developing and learning practical skills for deep intimacy.

This event is a safe place to practice and learn, whether single, married or in a relationship. All practices are done fully clothed. All our events are held in an excellent container of safety. The work and practices are fun and reveal secrets about what we want more of, and how to receive that.


IMPORTANT: The ground rules for this event are strictly enforced - there is no physical sexual contact permitted. This includes no kissing (even if you are coming with your partner) and no touching of breasts, buttocks, or genitals. These ground rules enable safety and clear boundaries, allowing the practices to go deeper. Trust is the foundation of all sexual polarity.

This event is inclusive of all genders and sexual orientations, although we will explicitly practice polarity through masculine and feminine energies.

Men's 2024 Life Reboot

UNCONFUSE YOUR BODY AND MIND. 

REVEAL THE MASCULINE DEPTH ALREADY WITHIN.

Start 2024 by rebooting your inner life.

This intensive 9-week program teaches you the core masculine practice that cultivates depth and frees consciousness.

Untangle the complications of love, sex, work, and money by upgrading your inner game.

Access inner peace and confidence at your core.

EMBODIED DEPTH = AUTHENTIC PRESENCE = RELAXED POWER

“When you meet a person with authentic presence, you find he has an overwhelming genuineness, which might be somewhat frightening because it is so true and honest and real. You experience a sense of command radiating from the person of inner authentic presence. Although that person might be a garbage collector or a taxi driver, still he or she has an uplifted quality, which magnetizes you and commands your attention. This is not just charisma. The person with inner authentic presence has worked on himself and made a thorough and proper journey. He has earned authentic presence by letting go, and by giving up personal comfort and fixed mind.”- Chogyam Trungpa from the book Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior

In this nine-week online program, you will learn physical and energetic practices to deepen your presence and access core masculine power. How do you become the calm eye in the hurricane's center? Learn how to maintain steadfastness in times of crisis and stress through yogic inner practice and access your authentic core as a man.

Imagine your intimate partner, your children, your boss or coworker, insulting you, emoting and raging at you, but you are calm, resting as open consciousness. You gently smile—nothing is wrong. They cannot push you off-center or pull you into drama. You remain heart-connected to them, engaged with feeling and breath, yet deeply rooted in your inner depth as genuine freedom. Your response—if needed at all—will be much different than if you were hooked by their energy, reactivity, and threats. 

A man who can remain grounded in his inner being while fully present in any relationship is free.  He is the man who will be respected, loved, and devotionally honored. Learn to stand in-depth, accessing your authentic core as embodied free consciousness.

ARE YOU MAN ENOUGH?

WHAT IS MASCULINE? WHAT IS FEMININE?

We all have both feminine and masculine parts of ourselves.  Like the Taoist concepts of yin and yang, feminine and masculine energies can be expressed through our bodies and actions. Gender roles have opened up for all kinds of personal expression, yet in this modern era, many men feel confused or uncertain about who they are or could be. Masculine depth is NOT about reinforcing old stereotypes of what a man “should” be like. Masculine depth is not false macho posturing or egoic bravado. No longer does someone have to pretend to be something they are not to fit into narrow perceptions of what is “appropriately” masculine or feminine.

Masculine depth is about discovering your authentic self and standing in power and truth at your core, as you are right now.

MEDITATION IS THE FOUNDATION

In this nine-week program, you will learn a powerful embodied mediation practice that sharpens your presence, deepens your consciousness, and amplifies your masculine energy.

Gain control of your inner world and remake your mind into your loyal servant instead of allowing it to be a petulant, demanding inner teenager.

Meditation is not an escape from reality.
Meditation is about allowing reality to be
just as it is.

Instead of false posturing and striving,
masculine freedom and energy come from understanding and integrating one’s shadow.

“The meeting with oneself is, at first, the meeting with one’s own shadow. The shadow is a tight passage, a narrow door, whose painful constriction no one is spared who goes down to the deep well. But one must learn to know oneself in order to know who one is.” —Carl Jung

“To draw the skeletons out of the closet is relatively easy, but to own the gold in the shadow is terrifying.” —Robert A. Johnson.

This course will guide you into practices that support excavating and integrating your shadow’s gold.

In the company of other men, earnest honesty ignites the inner work of locating and reclaiming your inner passion and purpose. This is a safe, sacred container to excavate your shadow, which is where your passion and life force spring forth from.

 

“ I think the healthy way to live is to make friends with the beast inside oneself, and that means not the beast but the shadow. The Darkside of one’s nature. Have fun with it, and you know, accept everything about ourselves.” —Anthony Hopkins

The pace of living in a busy modern world can feed the sense that I’m not good enough or that I’m not living the life I should be. FOMO is a runaway cultural disease.

What do you genuinely desire as a man? What is happiness? What is being enough? Who are you without comparing yourself to others?

Christopher Sunyata will guide you through a nine-session meditation course using the Hollow Bamboo Dharma. Instead of being rigid and suffering through sitting practice, you will learn to let the body be awake and supple, like kelp undulating with the flow of the living sea.

This course will work with the masculine shadow through precise meditation practice.

Each man has some ideal about what it means to be a man or masculine. This pressure to act and be a certain way (often different than how we feel we are) is a massive source of stress and disconnection for men and a contributing factor to depression and high suicide rates.

We will use the body as a portal to access and communicate with our shadows. Once listened to and accepted, the gold within your shadow becomes accessible.


Session One: Alignment and Relaxation
Meeting Tension & how it lives in your body

Session Two: Deepening Relaxation
inviting your shadow to speak and be seen

Session Three: Resilient Motion
Tension, stillness, and the shadow

Session Four: Deepening Resilience
Accepting and embracing the shadow

Session Five: Deepening resilience further
Hearing the whispering shadow

Session Six: Hollow Bamboo Breathing
Freeing the shadow

Session Seven: Energetic Unraveling Practice
shadow kryptonite—releasing patterns & limits

Session Eight: Shadow Sacred Theater
Embodying the shadow

Session Nine: The Great Wide Open
gifting through the integrated shadow

Each session will occur through live video meetings using Zoom.

  1. The first hour of each session will be for meditation instruction and guided practice.

  2. The second hour will be used for in-depth work on our shadow: the unexpressed desires, pain, challenges, and patterns that limit and hinder your full expression and authority—yet contain wisdom to liberate your authentic power.

There will be space for interactive Q&A, partner exercises, and sacred theater work with our shadows.


During the course, you can ask questions and receive support from Christopher in a private group chat.


For each session, you will need a cushion or chair. Position your computer to see the screen comfortably and hear the instructions.

This course is the ideal preparation for the subsequent men’s group: "Depth-Mining Your Masculine Core 2024 Advanced Men’s Program.”

Sessions will be recorded and made available afterward to participants in the course.
One private coaching call with Christopher is included with this program
(a $325 value)

Hollow Bamboo Dharma:  Embracing the Nagas  With Will Johnson and Christopher Sunyata

to May 8

Hollow Bamboo Dharma: Embracing the Nagas With Will Johnson and Christopher Sunyata

  • Montezuma, Costa Rica Costa Rica (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Hollow Bamboo Dharma is a path of meditative inquiry designed to liberate the radiant human through reawakening the ex-static nature of body, mind, and consciousness. Its practices promote both physical and emotional healing as well as profound spiritual transformation.

During this intensive retreat we will explore sitting meditation as a mudra of radiant awakening, taking us down through layers of resistance, transforming thought into felt, radiant presence. As our primary guide for our practice we will pay particular attention to honoring the energies of the nagas that live inside each and every one of us, waiting so patiently to be liberated and freed.

The Nagas were pliant and fluid creatures whose bodies undulated as they moved through space. Often depicted as snakelike, their watery nature gave them great powers as they ventured forth from their natural habitat in oceans, rivers, and lakes to interact with humans on dry land.

Instead of sitting on your cushion like a stone garden statue of the Buddha, we let ourselves enter into a surrendered dance of balancing instead. When you truly let go, your body starts making subtle, spontaneous movements, undulating from breath to breath, releasing the rigidities that keep you locked inside your thinking mind.

The goal of this intensive retreat is nothing less than opening to a direct experience of The Great Wide Open, our radiant birthright state. To this end, we will explore sitting and lying down practices, working with kasinas and sound, and transforming the stone garden statue of the Buddha posture into the altogether natural practice of resilient, relaxed wakefulness.

In the Mucalinda Sutta, the great Naga king protected the Gautama Buddha from tropical rains after his enlightenment. This powerful icon is prevalent at Angkor Wat, where one finds the most sublime and happy Buddha statues. Nagas represent currents of force and power moving through channels in space. Our bodies are composed of numerous channels, including the digestive tract, the nervous system, respiratory, lymphatic, and circulatory systems. Life itself is sustained by these flows, interconnecting, sustaining, and unifying the body. Instead of striving for stillness and emptiness, awareness can merge with these flows, transforming stifling stasis and pain into a healing union with the dynamic energy of life itself. Thoughts and beliefs about any separative “I am” dissolve into the tangible experience of the Great Wide Open. We call this Nagadharma.

This retreat is cannabis optional. If you prefer not to use THC as an enhancer for the practices, that is fine. If you want to experiment with using small amounts of cannabis to enter into the practice, instruction, and guidance on how to do this will be provided. The teaching of Hollow Bamboo Dharma is exactly the same whether you use plant allies or not.

Hollow Bamboo Dharma Meditation Video Course

Bring ease, grace, and ecstatic depth

to your sitting meditation practice

Today’s modern culture values thought and mind over sensation and body awareness. Smartphones and computers have become a major part of how people spend their time, replacing time spent with other humans or nature. This shift in how we spend time is causing problems and contributing to disconnection and uncertainty in our lives and relationships. Beyond just screen time, the pace of living in a busy modern world can feed the sense that I’m not good enough, or that I’m not living the life I should be having.

This inner swirl of seeking and emotional churn can be stilled through the practice of meditating with the body. Freedom, peace, inner clarity, and spacious awareness are part of your natural inheritance. These can be remembered and reclaimed by listening and honoring the wisdom of your body. Christopher Sunyata will guide you through a seven-session course on how to meditate using the Hollow Bamboo teachings of Will Johnson. Instead of being rigid and suffering through sitting practice, let the body be awake and supple, like kelp undulating with the flow of the living sea.

Session One: Alignment and Relaxation

Session Two: Deepening Relaxation

Session Three: Resilient Motion

Session Four: Deepening Resilience

Session Five: Deepening Resilience Further

Session Six: Hollow Bamboo Breathing

Session Seven: The Great Wide Open

Each session is presented through online videos.
Time in each session will be spent primarily in guided practice.
During the course, you will be able to ask questions and receive support from Christopher by email.
For each session, you will need a cushion or chair to sit upon. Position your computer so that you can comfortably see the screen and hear the instructions.

Will Johnson
reading materials for the course

  1. Breathing Through the Whole Body

  2. Eyes Wide Open

  3. The Posture of Meditation

Men's Virtual Practice Dojo with Christopher Sunyata August 8-9, 2020

We are in a global crisis: from COVID-19 to social turmoil and economic uncertainty, how do you live a more profound, conscious, and genuinely inspired life during times of chaos?


Discover yourself how men practicing together demonstrate community, brotherhood, and integrity, rather than merely talking about it.

The dojo opens at noon MDT (Denver), 2 PM EDT (New York),
11 AM PDT (Los Angeles), 8 PM CEST (France)

Each day consists of 3 hours of practice, with breaks.

You will learn how to awaken your body, relax deeply, and excavate sources of tension and ceaseless striving that has been buried in your body, perhaps for decades.

Practice will include consciousness exercises, some light physical yoga, and interactive work with other men. This weekend, reveal the depth of power and conscious presence already within you and gain more clarity about your life purpose during these uncertain times.

Attendee Objectives:

  • Learning foundational practices in the embodiment of consciousness and the value of mindful relaxation.

  • Encountering a palpable taste of kenshō - insight into the true nature of freedom and being. 

  • Finding a personal connection to death that empowers and frees you, rather than stimulating fear and inaction.

  • Clarifying your purpose and aligning your life to what matters most.

  • Developing the ability to consciously communicate depth, power, and love through your body.

In a world affected by COVID, you need to find your internal compass and depth now, more than ever before. This is your chance to do work that is traditionally only done face to face, presently made possible from your own home or self-retreat location via a reliable internet connection.

Challenged by how to serve men during these murky times, Christopher and his production team have created this virtual practice dojo, creatively utilizing Zoom as a vehicle to transcend event limitations imposed by COVID, and to connect men in different locations and time zones.

This weekend is a dive into practice and transformation suitable for beginners, as well as those living a path of inner exploration and yogic life-practice.

Inquire about scholarships for those in financial crises.

Deepening Intimacy -  Tantric Practices for Men, Women, and Couples
Feb
7
to Feb 9

Deepening Intimacy - Tantric Practices for Men, Women, and Couples

Love and sexuality are at the core our primal life force. Love isn’t an idea or a thought or even a feeling - it powers the core of your being. The desire and drive to open through love and sex are palpable forces that can be conducted through your body and the world around you. Beyond just scratching the itch of sexual hunger, how can we channel and conduct this intensity in our lives and relationships? How can you widen your horizons of sensual delight while deepening who you are as a human being? How can you do this with safety and honesty, while navigating moment to moment changing cues from your partner?

Love and physical intimacy can be practiced, and deepened as a fulfilling art—few people actually work to expand their capacities in this area. Reading books, and watching videos is no substitute for actual practice with real partners. In this workshop you will learn through practices designed to stretch and grow your capacity to conduct pleasure and communicate love.

In this workshop you will:  

  • Experience how relaxing as you are, right now, frees you from the never-ending struggle for self improvement

  • Learn practices to direct and conduct sexual energy through your and your partner’s bodies using breath, consciousness, and relaxation

  • Embrace and embody Masculine and Feminine energies, regardless of gender - and learn which energies most open and turn on you and your partner

  • Learn how to transform perfunctory sex and masturbation into a sexual yoga practice

The workshop is held in a supreme container of safety. This workshop is inclusive for all genders and sexual orientations, although we will be explicitly practicing with masculine and feminine energies.

Crestone Sunrise.png

Live a life of CONNECTION, POWER, PURPOSE.

Are you ready to live a deep, thriving, and truly inspired life?
Uncover the life-changing power of love and consciousness already at your core.

Twenty years ago, David Deida’s groundbreaking book The Way of the Superior Man offered men a radically different way to master the challenges of women, work, and sexual desire.

Inspired by his following book, Blue Truth: A Spiritual Guide to Life & Death and Love & Sex, this eight-month program will provide men the rare opportunity to clarify and master their life purpose, and learn tantric practices that reveal your authentic depth and power. This program is for men who are ready to step into deeply embodied spiritual and sexual practice.

What you will learn:

  • step-by-step foundational practices in meditation, embodiment, and sexual yoga that you can use for the rest of your life, opening the way for advanced esoteric disciplines

  • subtly penetrate life’s most difficult challenges through real practice (not just theory and discussion) in order to achieve mastery at work, profound intimacy, and deep inner peace

  • release compulsive emotions and transcend the hidden causes of emotional distress

  • turn sexual pleasure, solo or in partnership, into a vehicle of spiritual awakening

  • create an atmosphere of trust at work and at home

  • authentic tantric consort practices, and how to create an intimacy that can deepen and flourish over the vicissitudes of time

  • clarify your purpose and align your life to what matters most

  • transcend being a slave to your turn-on and integrate sexual energy into all areas of life

  • how to consciously communicate depth, power, and love through your body

  • transform addictive masturbation and porn habits into a spiritual sexual yoga practice that develops your capacity to have deep connected sex with your partner

  • live in alignment with your own depth and integrity, not by artificial tricks or extra effort

  • establish a personal relationship to death that empowers and frees you

  • comprehensive practices to develop your own multi-orgasmic potential, and how to guide your lover into deep surrender and pleasure beyond their wildest imagination


This eight-month program is challenging, pragmatic, and customized for each man.


What is included in the eight-month program:

  • 14 group video calls. (The video calls will be recorded and made available to participants in this program.)

  • Admission for yourself to the Coed Awakening Deep Intimacy - a Tantric Workshop, Boulder, Colorado, May 1-3 (a $795 value).

  • using your body as a vehicle for ecstatic dissolution

Hollow Bamboo Dharma Meditation Course

Bring ease, grace, and ecstatic depth

to your sitting meditation practice

Today’s modern culture values thought and mind over sensation and body awareness. Smart phones and computers have become a major part of how people spend their time, replacing time spent with other humans or nature. This shift in how we spend time is causing problems and contributing to disconnection and uncertainty in our lives and relationships. Beyond just screen time, the pace of living in a busy modern world can feed the sense that I’m not good enough, or that I’m not living the life I should be having.

This inner swirl of seeking and emotional churn can be stilled through the practice of meditating with the body. Freedom, peace, inner clarity and spacious awareness are part of your natural inheritance. These can be remembered and reclaimed by listening and honoring the wisdom of your body. Christopher Sunyata will guide you through a seven session course of how to meditate using the Hollow Bamboo teachings of Will Johnson. Instead of being rigid and suffering through sitting practice, let the body be awake and supple, like kelp undulating with the flow of the living sea.

Session One: Alignment and Relaxation

Session Two: Deepening Relaxation

Session Three: Resilient Motion

Session Four: Deepening Resilience

Session Five: Deepening Resilience Further

Session Six: Hollow Bamboo Breathing

Session Seven: The Great Wide Open

Each session will occur through video meetings using Zoom.
Time in each session will be spent primarily in guided practice. There will be time for Q&A by participants after each session.
During the course you will be able to ask questions and receive support from Christopher by email.
For each session, you will need a cushion or chair to sit upon. Position your computer so that you can comfortably see the screen and hear the instructions.
Sessions will be recorded and made available afterwards to participants in the course.


Will Johnson
reading materials for the course
(we will be drawing most from the first two books):

  1. Breathing Through the Whole Body

  2. Eyes Wide Open

  3. The Posture of Meditation

  4. Aligned, Relaxed, Resilient

Deepening Intimacy -  Tantric Practices for Men, Women, and Couples
May

to Jun 2

Deepening Intimacy - Tantric Practices for Men, Women, and Couples

Love and sexuality are at the core our primal life force. Love isn’t an idea or a thought or even a feeling - it powers the core of your being. The desire and drive to open through love and sex are palpable forces that can be conducted through your body and the world around you. Beyond just scratching the itch of sexual hunger, how can we channel and conduct this intensity in our lives and relationships? How can you widen your horizons of sensual delight while deepening who you are as a human being? How can you do this with safety and honesty, while navigating moment to moment changing cues from your partner?

Love and physical intimacy can be practiced, and deepened as a fulfilling art—few people actually work to expand their capacities in this area. Reading books, and watching videos is no substitute for actual practice with real partners. In this workshop you will learn through practices designed to stretch and grow your capacity to conduct pleasure and communicate love.

In this workshop you will:  

  • Experience how relaxing as you are, right now, frees you from the never-ending struggle for self improvement

  • Learn practices to direct and conduct sexual energy through your and your partner’s bodies using breath, consciousness, and relaxation

  • Embrace and embody Masculine and Feminine energies, regardless of gender - and learn which energies most open and turn on you and your partner

  • Learn how to transform perfunctory sex and masturbation into a sexual yoga practice 

  • Experience a taste of deep yogic sex through connected breathing - opening the body, heart, and soul

  • Discover how your turn-on is intimately linked to the root of spiritual awareness

  • Awaken the wisdom already present in your body. Learn how to access the intelligence within the heart, solar plexus, belly and genitals that drives deep yogic sex

  • Learn how to expand your capacity to feel and remain open and connected as love no matter how intense the pleasure or pain

  • Learn how to artfully express any emotion—anger, sorrow, fear, lust—with an open heart


Come practice with others who are also committed to growing and learning in true deep intimacy. Space is limited and available by application only, so we encourage you to apply early.


Application required before your admission is confirmed. If not admitted your ticket price will be refunded in full.

This workshop is a safe place to practice and learn, whether you are single, married, or in relationship. All practices are done fully clothed. There is no nudity. The workshop is held in a supreme container of safety. This workshop is inclusive for all genders and sexual orientations, although we will be explicitly practicing with masculine and feminine energies.

Men’s Intensive with David Deida - Private Event in Crestone, CO

Join David Deida for a Private Men’s Intensive, September 3-9, 2018 in Crestone, Colorado.

This Residential Men’s Intensive is David’s only Intensive scheduled in 2018.

Limited to 36 men.

Scholarships are available for returning graduates applying before June 18, 2018.

If you are interested in joining David Deida for this Men’s Intensive, please request details and an application at ColoradoIntensive@deida.info.


Private Men's Intensive with David Deida

 

I'm thrilled to invite you to an exclusive event with David Deida in the Sangre de Cristo mountain range of Crestone, Colorado, September 3-9, 2018. Our gathering will be guided step-by-step toward the mastery of true life-purpose and authentic tantric sexual practices, grounded in conscious presence.


Last year in Micanopy, Florida, I watched David take a group of men deeper into spiritual practice than I have ever experienced in my 20 years of study with him. Sessions often ran late into the night and included initiation into dream yoga, exploration of deep purpose, and esoteric solo and partner sexual yoga practices that he had never shared in workshops before. Transformations occurred, giving us immediate access to the primal energy of our own deep being.

Building upon that influential program he offered last year, I have worked with David to create an unparalleled Men's Intensive, his deepest offering for men yet. In preparation for this Residential Men's Intensive, David will be on solitary practice retreat prior to the event within the Sangre de Cristo mountains and the expansive San Luis Valley - the ideal environment where consciousness, heart, and body are inspired to open wide. Crestone, Colorado provides a pristine environment for deep, undisturbed, and undistracted spiritual and sexual exploration.

There are critical moments in time when the flow of your life can be influenced, like acupuncture points giving access to the flow of energies in the body, articulating a new time of life-change and awareness. This Men's Intensive is one of those moments. It is the only Intensive that David is scheduled to offer this year.

Come join us. Space is limited to 28 men and available by application only. Plan your arrival for check-in, dinner, and orientation on Monday, September 3, and your departure for the morning of Sunday, September 9, 2018. 

Scholarships are available for returning graduates applying before June 18, 2018.

Fellowships are available for full-time monks. If interested, please inquire.

I am excited to be offering this unique Men's Intensive with David, and hope that you will be able to join us.

Christopher Sunyata

Descend Into Delight -
the practice of love, sex, and intimacy

An Intensive Co-ed Workshop for Men, Women, and Couples

Embodied shared passion has got to be one of the deepest and most meaningful experiences for us as humans. Sex and intimacy are at the core our primal life force. How can we channel and conduct this intensity in our lives and relationships? How can you widen your horizons of sensual delight while deepening who you are as a human being?

The explosion of information about sexuality and the proliferation of porn has shifted our collective consciousness about sex - what is possible and available has never been so apparent. People may be experiencing more sex, but there is still a yearning for something deeper than just greater quantity and variety. Underneath chasing more and better orgasms, underneath the search for the perfect partner, is a deeper intimacy as the shared bodily communication of love waiting to be discovered.

Love, sex, and intimacy can be practiced, and deepened as a fulfilling art - few people actually work to expand their capacities in this area. Reading books, and watching videos is no substitute for actual practice with real partners. In this intensive workshop you will descend into delightful learning through practices designed to stretch and grow your capacity to conduct pleasure and communicate love. Come practice with others who are also committed to growing and learning in true deep intimacy and deeper sex.

The workshop is a safe place to practice and learn, whether you are single, married, or in relationship. All practices are done fully clothed. There is no sex or nudity in the workshop. The workshop is held in a superlative container of safety. The work and practices ARE challenging, as well as fun. Committed partnerships are honored and there is plenty of time to practice with your partner, as well as times when you will be practicing with other people.

Positive Polarities
Like the Taoist concepts of yin and yang, feminine and masculine are energies that can be expressed through our bodies. Gender roles have opened up to allow for all kinds of personal expression. We can learn to artfully embody love, light, and surrender as well as structure, direction, and perfect demand. In this workshop we will practice consciously playing with differences in order to create energy, polarity, and sexual attraction, whether taking the role of masculine or feminine, regardless of gender. By feeling different energies in our own body, we will be able to both refine our preferences and increase our ability to understand the other side. As artists of love, we can decide what expression would most open our lover, or express our true heart’s desire.  

Deep Sex
A masterful lover is always learning. In this workshop you will be able to ask your most pressing questions about sex and receive answers from two couples who live that they teach. You will learn basic practices to develop your own multi-orgasmic potential - both men and women have this innate capacity. You will also learn about the anatomy of deep arousal and practical information about the wide variety of possible orgasms for women and men. Sex however, is much more than just chasing orgasms - we will discuss deep sex, what it is, and why you would want to practice it, and how it can be a foundation of lasting intimacy.

Deep Love
Why are you here on earth? What must you do before you die, in order to feel complete? What is your heart’s deepest desire? If you died today, what would be your greatest regret?  In the crucible of physical practice and heart-open feedback you can plumb the inner depths of your soul and clarify the depth of love you are called to live.

Intimacy & Polarity
It is possible to keep long term relationships vital and fun - deepening in sexual chemistry over time. This is the opposite of what normally occurs in long term relationships when familiarity and comfort seem to replace the initial spark of attraction. You will learn how to stimulate, deepen, and maintain polarity in relationships.

Embodied Depth
You will learn physical and energetic practices to deepen your presence, and access your core sexual power. How do you become the calm eye in the center of the hurricane? How can you artfully express anger or hurt with an open heart? Learn how to maintain steadfastness and loving connection in times of crisis and stress through yogic practice. Learn how to access and express the depth of love, which is your authentic core.

Subtle Energy Training
Ancient esoteric practices will be explained in plain language and you will learn practical exercises that will expand your depth and capacity to conduct life force in all areas of your life. You will learn to move and manipulate subtle energy through breath, movement and consciousness.

Descend into Delight is a workshop for you if…  
You want to deepen trust and surrender in your intimacy
You want to feel the force of love completely permeating you
You want to access your own deep multiple orgasmic capacity (both men and women)
You want to access inner peace, passion, and confidence in intimacy & your life purpose

Masculine Depth - An Intensive Workshop for Men

Unconfuse your body as a man - own how deep you need to be to survive these times.

 Depth of consciousness. Capacity for deep love. Deep sex. Imagine a deep inner peace and confidence no matter what your lover or the world throws at you. 

What are you communicating to others right now through your body?
What is the key thing in intimacy that determines how deep it can go?
What is deep yogic sex and how is it different from how most people experience sex?
How can you ignite the spark of attraction with someone and keep it burning hotter over time?  

In this intensive workshop, you will learn physical and energy-body practices which can immediately increase your depth and capacity.  Learn the foundational practices of sexual stamina. Learn how to thrive in intense life, work and family situations instead of collapsing or retreating. Reboot your life by tapping into the innate intelligence of the body. After the workshop you can continue using these practices to cultivate depth and power in the areas of consciousness, love, sex, inner peace and confidence.

Depth is not just steadiness and stability when under fire. Depth enables sex to be much much more than “thrust, thrust, squirt, snore.”  Deep yogic sex can reveal your true potential for bliss and love in human form - it may even reveal who you are after you die. Christopher teaches the foundational practices for men’s sexual yoga which can be used throughout your whole life, whether you are single, or in relationship. Sexual energy is LIFE energy - energy you can access to engage powerfully in your career, in your family, sports, and all your relationships.

Sexual Mastery

How is deep sex different from what is most often portrayed in porn? In what ways is it actually similar to many men’s fantasies that are depicted in porn? How can you bring what you most want to try sexually into your bedroom and not collapse in fear or squirt right away from too much excitement? Do you know the different kinds of orgasms that are possible for women and men?

A masterful lover is always learning. In this workshop you will be able to ask your most pressing questions about sex. You will learn the basic practices to develop your own multi-orgasmic potential, and why it is important to consciously choose whether you ejaculate or not during sex. You will also learn about the anatomy of women’s deeper arousal and practical information about the wide variety of possible orgasms for women: clitoral, G-spot, cervical, squirting, and anal - just to name a few possibilities. Sex however, is much much more than just chasing orgasms - Christopher will teach you about deep sex, what it is, and why you would want to practice it, and how it can be a foundation of lasting intimacy.

Intimacy & Polarity

Sex is much more than physical intercourse. Sexual polarity, the energized arc of attraction between people, is an art that can be learned and practiced. It is possible to keep long term relationships vital and hot - deepening in sexual chemistry over time. This is the opposite of what normally occurs in most relationships when familiarity and comfort seem to replace the initial spark of attraction. You will learn the foundation practices in how to stimulate, deepen, and maintain polarity in relationships.

Embodied Depth

You will learn physical and energetic practices to deepen your presence, and access your core power. How do you become the calm eye in the center of the hurricane? Learn how to maintain steadfastness in times of crisis and stress through yogic practice. Learn how to access the depth of love, which is your authentic core.

Imagine your intimate partner, your children, your boss or coworker, insulting you, emoting and raging at you, but you are calm, resting as open consciousness. You smile. They cannot push you off center or pull you into their drama. If you remain heart-connected to them, engaged with feeling and breath, yet remain deeply connected to your still inner depth, then your response - if one is needed at all - will be much different than if you were hooked by their energy, reactivity, and threats.  A man who can remain grounded in his inner being, while also fully present in relationship is free.  He is the man that will be respected, loved, and devotionally honored. You can learn how to be this man of depth and access your authentic core as deep embodied consciousness.

Are You Man Enough? What is Masculine?

We all have both feminine and masculine parts of ourselves.  Like the Taoist concepts of yin and yang, feminine and masculine are energies that can be expressed through our bodies. Gender roles have thankfully opened up to allow for all kinds of personal expression. Masculine depth is NOT about reinforcing old stereotypes of what a man “should” be like. Masculine Depth is not false macho posturing or egoic bravado. No longer does someone have to pretend to be something they are not in order to fit into narrow perceptions of what is “appropriately” masculine or feminine. Masculine Depth is about discovering your authentic self, and accessing your own power and truth in living from your core, as you are right now. Men of all sexual orientations can benefit from this training and are welcome to attend. An agile modern man can learn to artfully embody love, light, and surrender as well as structure, direction, and purpose.

Purpose

Why are you here on earth? What must you do before you die in order to feel complete? In the crucible of physical practice and heart-open feedback from other men, you will discover and sharpen your own life purpose. You will learn how fear plays a valuable role in pursuing your life's deepest purpose, and you will learn practices that will support you throughout your life journey.

Meditation

You will learn both ancient and contemporary mediation practices that will sharpen your presence, deepen your consciousness, and amplify your masculine energy. Gain control of your inner world and learn how to make mind your servant instead of your petulant inner teenager.

Energy Training

You will learn how to move and manipulate subtle energy through breath, movement and consciousness. Christopher translates ancient esoteric practices into practical exercises which expand your depth and capacity to conduct life force in all areas of your life. These energies are real, they can be felt and experienced by you, your lover, your family and the world.
