October 2027 will mark the 40th anniversary of Celebrating the Body Erotic. The workshop, which we originally called Healing the Body Erotic, has stood the test of time, and it continues to transform lives and contribute to the erotic liberation of thousands. I recently got this testimonial that speaks to this very point.
I observed/witnessed a participant finding their voice to instruct a masseur/giver. I witnessed the final stage of grieving the unexpected death of a husband … so that the living husband could find his way to move forward.
I was paired with my husband in an inner/outer circle inquiry about who taught you how to love. ❤️
My breakthrough is the dispelling of any inkling of doubt about whether the design of the workshop reliably produces results.
My breakthrough is in being present to the facilitator to fully listen and embody that this workshop is a rite of passage for disenfranchised and marginalized people. The CBE links you with thousands of people who have engaged in that exact ritual. I once erroneously thought that I was an outsider … when in reality I’m in a lineage that plays with true reality and embodiment.
I’m walking away from the workshop knowing that I am a “part of something”! And that something is old, timeless, and sacred.
And, it feels different than my temporal church membership …
my temporal political group affiliation …
my temporal employment affiliation …
my temporal choral music group affiliation.
It feels natural …
It feels aligned to soul purpose.
This has lineage and history, and I know something deeply about the person who shares that they have completed a CBE, whether in 1987 or 2025.
