EROS SPIRIT CAMP
Creating Authentic Erotic Connections

Facilitated by Easton Mountain staff & guest facilitators
Monday, July 25 - Sunday, July 31, 2011

This experiential week will focus upon relating erotically in ways that foster personal growth, genuine human connection and contact with the divine. We will explore the possibilities of interacting erotically that are respectful, safe and life affirming - ways that both help us to go within and to discover new depths of 'self' by connecting with others. This retreat will follow our typical camp format with a variety of workshops from which you get to choose the program that is right for you. Sensual touch, erotic massage, "rosebud" massage, asking for what you want, and erotic partner meditation are some of the topics that will be covered. If you're in a lighter mood you might take a mud bath, play naked touch football, or go in for some body painting followed by disco in the main room or dancing around a campfire.

Discover and accept your deepest levels of sensuality! Express your feelings, wants and needs and learn to handle the times when someone may say "No" and learn how to say "No" in caring ways that will not diminish the other person's sense of self. In addition you will find new ways of saying "Yes" that gets everyone's needs fulfilled.

The mystic philosopher Martin Buber has written, "When two people relate to each other authentically and humanly, God is the energy that surges between them". In this retreat we will focus on relating erotically, authentically and humanly.
