Writer's Block: Teenage dream

[Error: unknown template qotd]

"Hi honey, I've missed you. Wanna snuggle and catch up? How long can you stay?"

We are still friends, and we love each other very much, although it's a different kind of love now.

Authenticity, Fitness and Body Joy

My dear friend pagandelight posted this as a locked post on his livejournal, but has graciously allowed me to repost it here, with a few small changes. It exquisitely captures the links between fitness and authenticity:

Oh yes...Beltane Pre-Conference

Hey loves, I'm teaching a Pre-Conference at Beltane this year, and before registration closes, I want to tell you about it.

It's a topic I know inside and out, and I'll be spending eight hours exploring it with my crew. If you know me, you know this will be a hands-on, highly interactive experience well punctuated with moments of joy and fear.

If you know me, you know you won't forget it.

Breaking Through: Pushing Past Fear to Experience Pleasure

Many of us---probably most of us---carry fears that keep us from connecting with each other in intimate ways. These wounds can also keep us from exploring the deeper parts of ourselves. Instead of risking, tasting, touching and enjoying, we can find ourselves pulling back just when things start to get interesting.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. We can learn to push through fear and try all the things that scare us, building confidence as we go. This Pre-Conference will offer a safe space in which to do just that. Through individual, paired and group exercises, we’ll identify the things that keep us from enjoying everything that intimacy and sacred sexuality have to offer. We’ll help each other push past our fears and open up to pleasure, preparing ourselves to truly enjoy life’s greatest delights.

This preconference is open to couples, singles and groups. Participants should be comfortable with self-disclosure and arrive willing to speak honestly. Everything shared in group space will be kept there, and all participants must be willing to enter into a confidentiality agreement. Attendees should also be willing and able to engage in moderate physical activity and partnered energy play.

Bring a fresh, empty notebook, pencils or pens, a blanket and a comfortable chair. Although Beltane is a clothing optional event, nudity is not expected or required, and each individual will be encouraged to work within his or her own boundaries. Clothing should be comfortable to allow for freedom of movement. A brief Pre-Conference questionnaire will be sent to all participants via email about a week before the event.
