What this workshop is about:

Imagine an 8-day immersion into meditative stillness paired with respectful, guided rituals of erotic exploration. Imagine a gorgeous and serene Zen monastic setting nestled in the natural beauty of New Mexico. Imagine a rigorous mindfulness retreat that embraces the whole body, not just the mind and heart. Put them together and you have Touching the Heart of Stillness: A Contemplative/Erotic Retreat.

Touching the Heart of Stillness is a one-of-a-kind experience. You will not find another offering like it.  The structure is rooted in the Buddhist tradition of intensive practice in mindfulness meditation (“sati” in the Pali language).  What distinguishes this gathering is the unique opportunity to bridge mindfulness training with periods of conscious erotic engagement.

Much of each day is spent in “noble silence,” dedicated to meditation instruction and practice.  Consent-based embodied rituals every afternoon extend our focus to erotic touch.  This natural union allows participants to refine their attunement to the natural flow of energies in the body in the context of a quiet mind and open heart.

Touching the Heart of Stillness is conducted in an environment free from the distractions of modern life, including technology.  It is designed for all men who are interested in starting or deepening a meditation practice and who wish to extend the practice of mindfulness to embrace erotic expression.
