Touch Exchange today … -♥-

Yes, I look forward to these events. I have such a delight build in me as I prepare.

The atmosphere is soft and smooth. The men are curious and fearless. The event is full of new and unexplored territory. The actions bring soothing and healing. The outcome is an ever expanding sense of peace and connection.

I am glad and grateful that what I do can be so close to my heart.

Love- Phillip

I carry your heart with me

I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart) I am never without it (anywhere I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling) I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet ) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you …

here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart

I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)

Welcome

Hello and Welcome to Phillip Coupal

Based in Toronto I am a Counsellor, Coach, Bodyworker, Group Facilitator and Workshop Presenter.

Are you looking for a Counsellor, Coach or Bodyworker of service to gay men and gay male couples?

Are you looking for a guide to help you through some of the more challenging parts of your life and your relationship?

Are you looking to find more peace in your life and to feel more accomplished, successful, hopeful and relieved?

Are you looking for a place to be heard and understood?

How may I be of SERVICE to you?

Counselling, Coaching and Bodywork can help individuals and couples find direction, create and maintain sustained change in their life and their relationship to themselves and others.

Counselling

In my Counselling Practice I offer my clients a chance to be heard and understood, as they sort out feelings and emotions. Helping those who utilize my traditional Counselling Service to feel understood, hopeful and relieved are some of the outcomes from this branch of my Practice

Relationship Counselling

In the Relationship Counselling service of my Practice I offer my couples, both married and those in a less traditional relationship a conversational arena to build trust and create a unified vision. Using my long standing experience in relationship and my broad familiarity with couples the service that I provide is meaningful and effective.

Coaching

In my Coaching Practice clients can bring goals and future plans and we as a co-creative team create sustainable and attainable methods to break down problems and reach goals that might have seemed unattainable. Coaching can be effective in person in face to face meetings or by telephone.

Clients often experience more than what they initially set out to attain.

Groups

I Facilitate Peer Counselling Groups that happen on a regular basis. In addition I facilitate Adult Erotic Education Experiences in a humanistic manner. Groups take place in a comfortable and supported environment where clients are encouraged to feel safe and secure as they discover new ways to be in Social or Group settings.

Workshops

Experiential Embodied Erotic – Workshops for Men

Sex Education like you have NEVER Experienced

Workshops and Experiential Events to promote and Encourage Experiential Adult Education and Explore Erotic Embodiment as taught by Joseph Kramer. Workshops take place monthly at the well equipped and centrally located awaken studio at 270 Carlaw Avenue in Downtown Toronto.

My Toronto CounsellingCoachingBodywork practice focuses on providing service to gay men and gay male couples.

I do provide counselling and coaching services to both men and women. I see clients individually and as couples. My office is conveniently located at the awaken studio in downtown Toronto. The space that I work from is both comfortable and private. I maintain office hours in the evening, on weekends and of course I see clients during the day. I provide one on one sessions for individuals and couples in addition I facilitate experiential learning at workshops and in small groups.

I provide Bodywork and Group Facilitation services.

The Bodywork I provide centers on men and male couples. I facilitate men’s groups focusing on conscious heart centered touch, breath and sexuality. I work with individuals and groups of men to explore and learn from our Erotic nature.

Counselling, Coaching and Bodywork can help individuals and couples find direction, create and maintain sustained change in their life and their relationship to themselves and others.

Inspired by the modern teachers of erotic awareness, the teachings and principles of the Body Electric School and principles of Tantra these weekend workshops bring a fresh and up-to-date approach to Sex Education, Conscious Eroticism and Body Awareness.

These weekend events are sometimes challenging and sometimes exhilarating. The atmosphere, with clear communication, effective listening and basic guidelines, promotes Safe, Sane and Consensual behaviours. These workshops will bring participants new awareness and new knowledge as the men involved create community and new found safety, intimacy, connection and empowerment in relation to themselves, their relationship to others and the community that surrounds them.

There are no prerequisites for any of these workshops, an introductory interview with the event Facilitator is required before registration is complete (this can happen in person or on the telephone). The workshops are open to all those who identify in the world as men. Weekend events will explore: Taoist Erotic Massage, Anal Touch, Full Bodied Non Ejaculatory Orgasm and Ecstatic Sexual Experience. The workshops involves nudity and full body touch. The techniques that are used include: touch, breath, meditation and heartfelt communication. The atmosphere is respectful, accepting, playful, honouring and reverential.

Fees are $295.00 for the weekend (about 24 hours). Sorry there is no accommodation or food within this price. Snacks and water are provided. Some scholarships available for those in need and there are discounts for early registrations up to 14 days before each workshop.

Embodied Erotic Education – Phillip Coupal

Friday and catching my breath. The heat is on!

Looking forward to  the 22nd of July and the Touch Exchange that will take place on that day. If you are interested in this event contact me at phillip@phillipcoupal.ca

This is the first event after creating a place of closure with the organization that I worked with for so long. I am now on my own. With this realization, a bit of negativity seeps into my mind, my thoughts, and then I switch my thoughts to the possibility of what is new and begin to shift into my values of Kindness – Generosity – Care and Healing. This shift into the positive aspects of life helps me flow into the JOY of what can happen and therefore give me more energy to move forward and create the beautiful world that I wish to live in.

I so LOVE what I do.

I am becoming more comfortable and confident with the gifts that I can bring to this world.

Life is a Banquet – What is on your table?

The blog article from this date has been removed at the request and insistance of the Body Electric School administrator as he felt it was defamatory to the school.

By speaking of my departure from the school I meant no malice to the school andI mean no malice now. Please see all information about the new series of workshops that I have developed. Experiential Embodied Erotic Explorations

I wish the Body Electric School all good will in all of their endevours.

Best regards

Phillip

NOTE:
At some point in time due to a demand of the Body Electric School I took this blog article down.

February 28, 2014 – I am placing  it back on the internet as I feel it is a very important part of my experience, learning and education. This article tells the world my side of the story. I feel I have been bullied and forced into keeping silent. I am placing this back onto my personal page and letting it speak for itself. If you have questions contact me. As always LOVE Phillip

My heart today as I move forward… – Juicy Heart

by Phillip Coupal

An offering…

How I got to be where I am today and my departure from the Body Electric School or … being jetisoned into reality.

June 2012, just a few days before the Power Surrender and Intimacy workshop, here in Toronto, I was told by the school administrative assistant that I was “irrelevant”. This action on the part of the school and the subsequent defense by the school’s director clearly pointed out to me that I was not respected. I became very aware, very quickly, that in-fact for all of the work that I had done in my community and for the promotion of the school over the five years that I was coordinator, that I was held in contemptuous regard by the administrative staff and the director.

Shortly after being told that I was “irrelevant” I resigned from my position as local Coordinator for the Body Electric School in Toronto. The struggle had become intolerable. My resignation was tendered for two basic reasons.

  • First, my values and the values of the director of the school were at direct odds. This confrontational relationship meant that everything was a struggle and that bringing the workshops to fruition was not happening with either ease or the respect for client care that I demand.
  • Second, the school was misrepresenting itself as a business entity in Canada. This misrepresentation was putting me in serious jeopardy in relation to my business and my financial integrity. All of this in reference to the American company not being registered with Revenue Canada, in order to conduct business, collect payments and remit taxes in Canada. All this in addition to the fact that all payments for Canadian workshops were to be transacted in Canadian funds and despite all reassurance this was not happening.

Simply put, I was unable to accommodate what was being asked of me and I was unable to do what I had committed to do. All that I had done with relative ease for the past five years had fallen apart. I was unable to present to areas of my community that were interested in the work, I was unable to sell what had become an overpriced commodity, and I was unable to reconcile the lack of communication and inept client care that was being delivered to me by the school’s administration.

Alas, happily I am now working on my own. I have an exciting and dynamic lineup of workshops for the fall. The new work that I present has been inspired by Joseph Kramer, the founder of the school, and many of the school’s faculty, who have taught me well over the years. I am glad that I am able to present to areas of my community that are receptive to the work. I am relieved that I am able to price the work in a way that is affordable and reflects the needs of my surrounding community. I am delighted that I am able to work day-to-day in a transparent way without the struggle and encumbrance of an organization that felt unstable.

I am very glad to be where I am now. I am grateful for the release and expansion into the breadth and depth of operating a heart centered business.

If you would like more information about the workshops that I am producing, the events that I am facilitating, or the experiential body awareness programs I offer, or if you would simply like to know how you can become more a part of the experimental, experiential, educational, and embodied erotic community here in Toronto please check my website atwww.phillipcoupal.ca (click on the calendar button), drop me an email atphillip@phillipcoupal.ca or call me at 416-557-7312.

Generated with love, Namaste.
