The Erotic Gatekeeper & The Sexual Initiate For Men 2021

Archetypes of Sexual Awakening Embodiment Training: The Dance Of The Horned God & The Hooded Man

2x in-person intensives (7days in total) & 4x live video calls

  This men’s erotic empowerment soul quest is a deep dive into the transformational flow of life through the immense force of your sexuality!

  This training will explore archetypes of sexual awakening for men and will focus on the initiation gateways into embodying your wild erotic nature. You’ll cultivate skills to walk your own erotic path and hold space for other men to walk theirs. 

  You’ll meet many aspects of both Horned God and Hooded Man within yourself, and undertake a journey of discovery in how to walk the path of sexual initiate and embody the erotic gatekeeper inside of you.

  You’ll meet within yourself, the Horned God as the wildness that calls you to burn bright with life and your eroticism, and the Hooded man as the skilful means by which to do so! This is a journey of reclaiming your sexual freedom, power, and wildness as a man! It is a dance of power and surrender!

  This training is a weaving of empowerment ritual, erotic embodiment practices, deep self inquiry, archetypal work, shadow work, and soul-journey sharing within a circle of men.

  We’ll also explore distorted forms of these archetypes of sexual awakening that live in our shadow, and our fear of these distortions that can prevent us from both receiving and embodying the healthy expression of these empowerment archetypes.

  And yes, this is an embodiment training, and so integral to this journey are practices focusing on your breath, use of sound & movement, touch, bodywork, and man to man relating, connection, and intimacy.

  Are you ready to drop into the delicious expansiveness of immersing yourself in the transformative flow of your own unfolding & wild erotic nature?!?

  Are you ready to journey in a group of men, as brothers, sharing in the rich depths of your sexuality?!?

Yes?! Then join me for this men’s erotic empowerment soul quest!

 In this training Sadhu will guide and support you to:

*Harness your sexuality as an incredible force for creativity and change in your life.

*Share deep experiences and connection with other soulful men in safer space.

*Co-create safer space in which to hold yourself and others in transformational experiences.

*Explore & reclaim your relationship to your own power and to systems of power.

*Release ‘small making’ behaviours within yourself that prevent you from living as you choose.

*Develop your capacity to be in the magic of transformational thresholds.

This training is of a transformational nature. If you are not looking to create change in yourself and in your life then this experience is not for you.

And, if you’re hungry to journey in the magic of a group of men committed to show up for their own sexual awakening then apply now!

This training is for men ready to explore their erotic depths, as well as aspiring and experienced space-holders of transformative work.

IMPORTANT POINTS

This is a very GBTQ Friendly training and is open to any adult who identifies as a man! You may experience many of the practices and processes in this training as homoerotic. 

You are never required to touch or be touched by someone you don’t wish to share touch with, or be touched in any way that is not of your choosing. You are always encouraged to play within your boundaries. And, I invite you to open to, and explore the possibilities of experience you can create when you let go of preconceived ideas.

In this training I ask you to take full responsibility for the choices you make in how you participate.

You’ll be encouraged to focus on your experience of your own erotic energy in your body, and to let go of any agenda for sexual interactions or fulfilment of attractions.

At this training you can wear as much or as little clothing as you want.
