July Newsletter 2010

Heading off to the Full Moon Retreat...

I've been invited to join a twelve month process, orbiting a retreat at the end on this year, designed to bring into clarity my living a daily life that is true to my core being. This is exciting and well timed as I pause over winter, during a time of personal transition, and listen. Being one year in duration, it promises fantastic opportunity to focus my intention and awareness, and develop relationships of trust with all involved.

It reminds me that, while transformation work is often personal, we exist in community and relationship with others. Change does not happen in isolation and this will ripple through my connection to all things.

Listening to two insightful interviews by Vito Hemphill, on Tantra, community and Polyamory, it thrills me to hear the potential of how 'relationship' and 'community' can be re-imagined into an opportunity for growth and development at all levels. I am grappling with these things and found, to my surprise, that the theme for a full moon mediation retreat I attended was “autonomy and cooperation”. This will be carried through into July's events as I share ideas and insights I have and invite you to explore these with me.

June also held a wonderful adventure into dance with my facilitating Shaki's Blissdance in her absence. This has been a special learning experience, one in which I've felt amazingly supported and encouraged by the beautiful people that value this dance. To move and connect in a manner that honours and celebrates our physical form is a true gift. The 14th of July will be the last dance before Shakti returns and shares of her recent experiences.

Coming up in July:

  • Wednesday 7th, Blissdance at The Forge, Kalk Bay.

  • Thursday 8th, Living Tantra. Consider this a space for support in your daily Tantra practice or to simply observe and learn - I will present some idea around Tantra and community for us to explore in our personal lives.

  • Wednesday 14th, Blissdance at The Forge, Kalk Bay.

  • Thursday 15th, The Breakfast Thing at The Annex, Kalk Bay. We'll be discussing what Tantra brings as an intention to community and relationship.

  • Thursday 22nd, Movie Night. Film around the theme of community and sexuality to be decided.

In the beauty of being,
Stephen
