A first step within the Body Electric experience of exploration into your erotic potential. CBE involves the mind, the body and the heart in a series of exercises that use breathing, stretching and touching. Many men are searching for a more meaningful connection to themselves and to others. When they take responsibility for their erotic education, they realize how much there is to learn about awakening the erotic energy that lies within all of us. They begin to realize the satisfaction that comes from learning how to both give and receive pleasure. The workshop focuses on the entire body and is conducted in a setting that is playful, safe and honoring.

Some of the benefits of this work are:

• The participant may gain a greater acceptance of himself as an erotic being, both physically and mentally.
• He may discover ways to develop a more satisfying erotic relationship with others.
• He may find self-healing with issues such as body image, how he relates to the world around him, and self-understanding.
• He may become more aware of spiritual dimensions in his erotic explorations.

There will be time to go out for a quick meal during lunch. However, we recommend planning ahead and bringing a light lunch both days if possible. For your convenience, there will be a refrigerator and microwave available (see more information about lunch options below).

An altar will be made available for those who desire to set an intention for their experience by placing a small object of personal significance on the altar. We honor all paths. All objects are welcomed.

Lunch:
We will break for a one hour lunch each day. Although there are a number of restaurants close to the venue, none are within walking distance. So, we recommend bringing a sack lunch.
