HONOR THE SACRED MASCULINE:  In today’s world, too many men are distracted through unfulfilling work, entertainment, and quick fixes and artificial nourishment. The time has come for men to reclaim and step into our power and purpose, to show up in full-bodied presence, to offer our deepest gifts and love to the world, and to honor and celebrate the sacred masculine. It is time for men to heal the shame around our bodies, our sexuality, and our aliveness.

LEARN FROM DIVERSITY & LIVE YOUR TRUTH:  Men from diverse backgrounds and orientations will explore our authentic sexuality:  our fears, our desires, our questions, and our true expressions.

CO-FACILITATORS: 

Rev. David Franklin, an ordained minister and Certified Sexological Bodyworker (trained at the Institute for the Advanced Study of Human Sexuality in San Francisco), has facilitated men’s explorations of sexuality, passion, and spirituality through ritual, movement, workshops, and one-on-one coaching for the past six years.  David will lead the 1st & 4th sessions of the Sex, Intimacy & Spirit Group, and will help the group celebrate, integrate & look forward in the 7th session. 

John Galloway will co-facilitate sessions #1 & #4 and will facilitate all other sessions. John is a Certified Breema Practitioner & Instructor, long-time facilitator of personal transformation groups, and graduate of a previous Sex, Intimacy & Spirit course.

HONESTY & COMPASSION:  With the support of other men who are committed to honesty and compassion, you’ll practice being fully present to your sexual energy as it changes and as it is.  While we won’t be taking off our clothes or pursuing erotic desires during our work together, we will be gently expanding your awareness and acceptance of your full, authentic sexuality & spirituality.

GROUP GOALS:
* Expand awareness around your sexuality, eroticism, and desire
* Learn from how other men of diverse backgrounds & orientations relate to sexuality
