A weekend of Sacred Sexuality and community building with Reid at the helm…

2011 ISTA Conference of Sexuality & Consciousness Educators
Sedona, AZ
April 28th-May 1st, 2011

Join ISTA, Keynote Speaker Grand Master Mantak Chia, Master of Ceremonies Reid Mihako of ReidAboutSex.com, Lee Holden, Pamela Madsen, Baba Dez and over 30 other speakers in a 3-day extravaganza that promises to awaken sexuality consciousness in a unique way!

For the tenth year in a row, Sex and Consciousness Educators, Guides and Practitioners will gather in Sedona, Apr 29-May 1, 2010. They will come together to share their knowledge and wisdom of Sacred Sexuality and Tantra with each other and the general public. Sexuality is an important part of the human experience. Anyone who desires a healthier relationship with their sexuality is invited to attend the conference…

Reid’s Presentation: Sex Addiction, Erotic Integrity and Best Practices in Tantra

Simply put: Why are so many people in the American Tantra community so upset right now? And why does the global Tantra Community seem to be “eating it’s own?”

If you’ve ever wondered if a practitioner or a seeker is a sex addict? Or how to tell if a client or teacher is an “energy vampire” (and what might stop them)… Or if the terms Transference and Shadow Work seem suspicious to you… Or why there seem to be more “complaints” about Dakas than Dakinis…

It may be no coincidence that, on the 10th anniversary of the Sedona conference, 2010 and 2011 have brought some of the most interesting and galvanized conversations around ethics and responsibility in the teaching of sacred sexuality and hands-on healing.

Join sex and relationship expert, Reid Mihalko of ReidAboutSex.com as he respectfully reveals his observations based on 8-months of in depth  inquiry and “detective” work into the current upset inside the Sex and Consciousness Community.

Drawn from many personal conversations, one-on-one client work, and hundreds of hours of reading and emails, Reid will try to make sense for those in attendance what he has been able to “boil it all down to.” HINT: The “root” runs deeper than Shadow Work and Projection, and might be simpler to transmute than you might think!

It’s easy to hear the wisdom and see the vibrancy now, but who was he before? What were his struggles back then? And what are they now?

• How did they do it? What woke them up? And what trials and tribulations did they face to get to where they are now?
• Were 4th thru 7th grade as painful for them as they were for some of us? When did it change? What can we learn from it?
• Was losing their first sexual experience a spiritual one, or would it take years for that to happen? And why?
• What were their greatest sexual and spiritual challenges in the beginning? And what about now?

Are you curious to know the answers? Well, Reid is too! Come to the Center for Sex and Culture and let’s all find out together, shall we?

Join Reid Mihalko for a rare opportunity:

a candid evening with

Baba Dez Nichols

talking about our pasts.

Whether you’ve been studying Tantra for your entire life, are brand new to Sacred Sexuality and Sex Magic, or just curious to find out the real-life, behind the “guru” story of how a man grew up to create the Sedona Temple, the School of Temple Arts, and the Annual Daka-Dakini Conferences (now spreading across the globe)…

Come to Reid’s event space, Fruitopia, in East Oakland and get a taste of the story behind the man. Together we will find out…

• What’s the connection between sex, spirituality and transforming the world…
• How sex can “heal” our bodies and, quite possibly, the planet…
• How understanding and experiencing a conscious connection with our nervous systems can bring us all the way into living freedom and bliss…
• How we can deepen our ability to support ourselves, our people, and all humanity in conscious evolution.

Eavesdrop in on this intimate, one-on-one conversation. Participate in the Q&A period, and ask Baba Dez your questions. Meet Dez and Reid, and mingle with like-minded, sex positive men and women. Come experience one of the great influences of and contributors to the Sacred Sexual movement!

I loved how each of the experts explained in their own
way that community does not have to be just where
you are, it’s as close as the telephone, or attending a
conference.  Also that community does not have to be an
energy/sex healers exchange. It can just be a circle or potluck.
The exchange is ongoing whenever “healers” are in close proximity.

~Monique, Utah

Feeling alone in your spirituality and practice? Perhaps you’re the only person you know in your town or city who’s diving deep into the waters of sacred sexuality work as teacher/educator and you’re fatigued by trailblazing solo? Maybe you’re a successful community leader who’s built a thriving network of students and seekers, but there’s no one that you feel safe turning to when you need to “not be on?”

On the path of Sacred Sexuality, much of our work is done in the “interior world.” But there does come a time when many of us reach a point where we’ve gone as far as we’re going to go alone, or even with a partner. This is the time when community support is most vital to deepen our practice and catapult us into the next phase of our growth.

However, for those of us who are community leaders, it can sometimes be tricky taking off the “mentor hat” and letting our community support our own growth, and, in some instances, it’s actually not appropriate. It can feel unsafe,  which makes diving in more difficult. And, then, not all students are in a place to hold space for us as we go through our shadow work as we peel off the next layer and dive deeper. And it is rare, a community that has gathered around a teacher that can give all of the kinds of witnessing needed to nourish and sustain ourselves.

When we grow malnourished as teachers and reach a state of depletion because we have needs that are not being met, the very source of our joy -giving of ourselves in service of helping people- becomes dangerously low and our ability to give unselfishly becomes compromised…

Sound familiar? If not you, perhaps you know a teacher or guru or educator who’s gone through this cycle or is in it now… Well, the good news is this: It doesn’t have to be this way!

Join world renowned sex and relationship educator Reid Mihalko along with Baba Dez Nichols, founder of the International School for the Temple Arts, and the Sacred Sexuality experts of this October’s East Coast Daka-Dakini Conference for “Community as a Spiritual Practice,” a teleconference discussion on the use of experiential and collaborative learning and peer community gathering to nourish and replenish ourselves as practitioners and healers!

In this quick but powerful 75-minute teleconference, you will discover…

• The differences between community support and peer support
• What is Peermanship and why we as teachers and seekers for our own growth need it
• How experiential learning as a peer group and networking your peers can be more than just a “good business move” and how can it feed, nourish and sustain your wellbeing
• Why “taking a vacation” isn’t all that you need to stay vibrant as a healer!
• The personal stories from successful Sacred Sexuality Teachers and Communities Leaders on how they nourish themselves and their own practices
• Resources, conferences, and websites you can access to source getting your own needs met!

Spread the word and invite your friends to join us on this call as we explore the value of experiential and collaborative learning, and discuss the importance of community and peermanship as two of the most overlooked and undervalued tools we can give ourselves as teachers, leaders, and practitioners in the digital age. Listen in and ask questions as we come together. Begin creating alliances, raising consciousness, and cultivating professionalism with us in this call.

NINA HARTLEY:Nina Hartley of www.nina.com is one of the most endearing and enduring performers and sex-positive educators in the adult film industry.

A published author, director, performer, activist and educator, Nina got her start in 1982, during her sophomore year of nursing school when she started working as a stripper at Mitchell Brothers O’Farrell Theater. In 1984, during her junior year, Nina made her foray into the world of pornographic movies debuting in the massive adult film hit Educating Nina. After graduating with her nursing degree, Nina went into adult film full-time, going on to feature in over 650 adult films and become one of the most recognizable adult performers and sex educators in the industry.

Politically, Hartley considers herself a liberal and an outspoken sex-positive feminist. Addressing other women, she said “Sex isn’t something men do to you. It isn’t something men get out of you. Sex is something you dive into with gusto and like it every bit as much as he does.” Hartley has been an advocate for the adult film industry’s right to exist, and, before the rise to stardom of Jenna Jameson, had often been called on when television news programs and talk shows required an articulate, leading adult film actress to support the pro side. She appeared most notably on The Oprah Winfrey Show.

In 1997, Nina appeared in the hit, Hollywood film Boogie Nights with Mark Whalberg, playing William H. Macy’s serially unfaithful wife.

In 2006, Avery Press, a subsidiary of Penguin Group, published, Nina Hartley’s Guide to Total Sex.

In addition to her more traditional roles in porn films, she has also produced, directed, and starred in a series of Guide to… films covering the entire sexual spectrum, from basic sexual intercourse and foreplay, to anal sex and bondage.

Nina remains active as a performer and educator still appearing on television as an outspoken advocate for sex between consenting adults, and in adults films (cast now as the cougar or GILF). Nina can also be found pumping out (pun intended) high-quality instructional videos marketed under the “Nina Hartley’s Guide” brand distributed by Adam & Eve.
