Sunday August 13th, 7-9pm
Workshop description: This workshop examines how cultural, familial, and religious understandings around sex, sexuality, and self can interrupt the life force connection to our sexual centers. Rooted in the wisdom of Tantra and neuroscience, this workshop will guide people on how to form a sacred relationship with their body, sexuality, and turn on, giving them the deep and sexy connection they've been yearning for. Combined with lecture, we will utilize sexual embodiment practices to demonstrate how to shed shame, guilt, fear, resistance, trauma and other blocks around our sexuality to fully awaken, reclaim, and embrace our sexual power and energy. When we are connected to our sexual selves, we are connected to ALL aspects of ourselves: heart, soul, body, mind, and spirit. This workshop will kick-off an 8 week class series on igniting our sexual awakening. All practices will be optional and practiced solo within a safe container, with consent and fully clothed.
BIO:
Rachel Halder is a Sacred Sexuality Coach, empowering people--stuck in sexual shame and shut down inherited by culture, family or religion--transform their numbness, pain or trauma into pleasure. Her passion is teaching people how to form a sacred relationship with their body, sexuality, and turn on, giving them the deep and sexy connection they've been yearning for, recognizing that embodying our sexual selves is a form of sacred activism. With an MA in Religion, Rachel's thesis titled "Undressing Purity Culture: Finding Sexual and Spiritual Healing through Neuroscience, Trauma Recovery, and Embodied Inter-Spirituality" focused on holistic healing for those marginalized or spiritually traumatized by the Christian Church through LGBTQ+ identification and/or sexual suppression or abuse. Rachel is a student of Layla Martin’s 600-hour Integrated Sex, Love and Relationship coaching program at the Tantric Institute for Integrated Sexuality, incorporating Tantric philosophy mixed with modern neuroscience into her studies, programs, coaching, workshops, and retreats.
