This time of year is the so exciting for me! This time of year is full of the richness and vitality of all that is new even though the pallour of decay is in the air.

I adore what was in my horoscope particularly the part about decay… It is only from clearing up the dead and dried up stuff clearing it away that we can access the fresh and vital parts that are so alive. I wonder what will come forward as breakdown, I wonder what will come forward as dissolution. I look forward to all that is fresh and new under all that is old and tired.

The horoscope from NOW Toronto:

Libra Sep 23 | Oct 22

If you’ve been reading my horoscopes for a while, you know I’m not a decadent cynic who thinks “no pain, no gain” is the supreme formula for success. On the contrary. I think it’s quite possible to enjoy tremendous growth spurts when you’re happy and healthy. Pleasurable events can be great learning experiences. Joy and freedom may activate potentials that would otherwise remain dormant. Having said that, I want to make a suggestion that may seem at odds with my usual approach, even though it’s not. For the next two weeks, I encourage you to explore the necessary power of decay. Harness the archetypes of breakdown and dissolution as you put an end to things whose time is up. This work is key to your future rejuvenation and renaissance.

All of this plays out as I plan and develop to bring forward an exciting and vibrant new series of Experiential Experiences designed to Explore Eroticism

Experiential Embodied Erotic – Workshops

Sex Education like you have NEVER Experienced

Workshops and Experiential Events to promote Education and Encourage  Experience to Explore Erotic Embodiment as taught by Joseph Kramer. Taking place monthly at the awaken studio at 270 Carlaw Avenue in Downtown Toronto.

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.

“Lord Shiva is … In images, He is represented as a handsomeyoung manimmersed in deep meditation or dancing the Tandava upon Apasmara, the demon of ignorance in his manifestation of Nataraja, the Lord of the dance, goodness, humility, and every good quality a human should have. It is said that He looks like an eternal youth because of his authority over death, rebirth and immortality. He is also the father of Ganesha… “

ECSTASY : a state of being beyond reason and self-control

Being beyond reason is foreign, unknown; however, it is not undesirable. Beyond self-control is even more familiar and almost unfathomable. There is no other place that I would rather be than in a state of ecstasy.

Ecstatic and Sexy at the same time could be a lot of fun. That would look like sexy beyond reason and self- control. That might look a little different from all the controls and reason that I typically have in place.

Today I will allow for beyond reason and self-control. Today I will let myself be ecstatic.

AH HA Sexy Passion – Passion is a playmate.

I seem not to be able to rid myself of passion. Passion follows me and is in me wherever I go. Passion moves through my work, my play and my day to day life, as well as my dreams. Living passionately and full-out is not natural to me. I only came to expressing passion and being passionate after finding permission inside of myself.

When you’re at peace with yourself and you love your self, it’s virtually impossible for you to do things to yourself that are destructive.
When you get enough inner peace and feel really positive about yourself, it’s almost impossible for you to be controlled or manipulated by anyone else.
the more you extend kindness to yourself the more it will become your natural response to others
A secret of abundance is to stop focussing on what you do not have and shift your consciousness to an appreciation for all that you do have
No limit people are so in charge that they can trust their instincts, be childlike, be creative and do anything that makes sense to them.

No limit people are so in charge that they can trust their instincts, be childlike, be creative and do anything that makes sense to them.

Wayne Dyer

The idea of living in passion is relatively new to me as a 55 year old man. A few years ago my passion scared me, I did not know how to live with this part of me that seemed so out of control, so huge, so fierce. Today I watch for the fierceness and enjoy the eruption as passion plays out of me.  Today I thrive on the richness and the fulness of expression that passion allows for me.

Today I will surf in the flood of creativity that my passion brings and I will live without limiting that abundance of fresh, new and recurring old. Today I will let the passion flow, erupt, shoot and drizzle.

Today I will be full and playful and enjoy the freedom I feel without limits, living in joyful, blissful passion.

Holding the gate open.

Ushering in another seeker, holding the gate open as another man moves out  and away from shame. I hope his life can be blessed with JOY. Today I had the singular pleasure of living and being in an Exquisite Connection.

Thanks Sister Merry Peter for the reminder that everything is a reflection. All that comes before me is very much a reflection or myself.  Tonight I had the treat of seeing and meeting some of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. The work of these men as Sisters is an inspiration and a delightful blessing to the world.

I am happy and glad in this moment. Joyful to be brazen. Ecstatic to be free.

Reading today.

Preparing for a diagnostic surgery tomorrow. I am preparing for what will happen tomorrow and creating some time over the weekend for recovery.

I am reading, “The Velvet Rage: Overcoming the Pain of Growing Up Gay in a Straight Man’s World”. Having read a few pages I have an inkling now that this read is going to be a valuable and informative journey. My first response… “I wish … that man who was my primary teacher and trainer while I was training to become a counsellor had read this… Perhaps he would have been more empathetic as a gay man working with other gay men…”

This is going to be a delightful ride, a ride and a read and a rest that I am looking forward to. I am sure this book will take my mind off of the fear and wondering about the surgical procedure taking place tomorrow, I have this thought that this read will sooth me and help me rejuvenate.

Today I will be happy and joyful and in the pleasure of being me… AS PINK AS THAT IS!

Weaving the Fabric of Life.

Today as I stretch and get ready for the day I see, feel and experience the depth and strength of the interconnections of life.

A wonderful letter from a man now living in China, a wonderful response to my website from a man in Manitoba, the ebb and flow of clients, the surety of friends, the depth and strength of my husband. All of these interpersonal elements and more unspoken threads weave together around me and form the fabric of my life.

 The fabric warms and shields and soothes me. The fabric is a brilliant colour and has a stimulating pattern, the fabric awakens me. The fabric is resilient and has untested strength, the fabric shields me.

Today I will fall into the depth of safety that the fabric of my life has brought to me. I will cherish the fabric and adore each individual thread. I will savour each fibre that reinforces each thread.

The fabric of life... ❤

My Juicy Heart today…
