About the course
|
Sexuality resides in the same territory as pleasure and emotion in the second chakra. Arising from the same developmental milieu, it is more than the drive to procreate. It is an expression of divine essence. Well-developed sexual expression provides fertile ground for creativity, nourishing the entire physical, emotional and mental wellbeing of the person. It is at the very core of the self and very powerful medicine. In this class we explore the forces awakening in sexual development and the masculine and feminine principles through reflection on our own experience. We'll track the sovereignty of women from the earliest Pre-Celtic egalitarian matriarchal cultures to the belief in the sinful nature of women, matter and the earth in patriarchal Judeo-Christian cultures. As woman lost power and value, so did the earth. This shift has been a profound loss for both men and women for without the equalibrium provided by the feminine spiritual principle, the masculine has gone dangerously out of balance. Alberto Villoldo says in Shaman, Healer, Sage "The more separated we become from the Earth, the more hostile we become to the feminine." In the gentlest of ways we will invite healing through Celtic spiritual practices that embrace the sacred feminine and the Circle of Life in its Pagan and Christian forms. The ceremony for this class will reclaim our original virginal awareness. We will continue to develop the ACP core practices of spiritual practice, meditation, guided visualizations, movement and community building through shared personal inquiry and ceremony. |

the second chakra work of the previous class, this class will teach the
various ways that energy blockages express in the human energy field as
concentrated energy forms. We will explore their nature, removal and
personal care in relationship to this work.
