<p><!--StartFragment--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">During sacred sexual healing sessions, it’s all too easy to trigger memories of sexual trauma. The body remembers what we have often forgotten, ignored or denied. As practitioners, how can we defuse these time bombs before they blow up in our faces as rage, blame and even re-traumatization?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">During a session, the most important tool we have is to be continuously present. This means being aware of our own sexual habits and shadows. It also means paying close attention to what’s happening physiologically as well as emotionally, to never stop looking at, listening to and feeling the client’s body.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our second and third most important tools are knowing the ins and outs of our work and knowing our own limits and boundaries.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong> </strong><span><strong>In this teleclass, we will cover :</strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li>• Subtle changes to watch for in skin color, breathing, muscle contraction, body position, eye focus and even smell.</li>
<li>• Requests, Offers, and Invites &#8211; The difference between each and how, during a session, you may be unintentionally disempowering your clients and setting you both up for failure.</li>
<li>•  When and how to support your clients&#8217; healing and your practice by ceasing working together.</li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">Join David Cates, Betty Martin and Reid Mihalko for this <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">FREE and Informative</span></strong>, 75-minute teleclass created specifically for sacred sexuality pracititioners, healers, Tantra teachers, sex educators and light workers!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Learn how to prevent trouble and avoid the pit falls of working with clients, so that,<span> the next time  you wander too close to a ticking time bomb, you can gently back off and consciously decide –<em>together</em> with your client– how to proceed. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>With increased awareness and presence and a deeper understanding of our &#8220;work,&#8221; we can all minimize nasty surprises and maximize our opportunity to deeply heal!</span></p>

		<description><![CDATA[As sacred sexual practitioners, “healing the Wounded Feminine” is not just the grand calling of bringing the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine into full integration on Earth. It is also the intimate journey a healer accompanies their seekers on, a journey of releasing traumas,  nurturing the capacity to transform pain and receive pleasure, rediscovering one’s voice and sexual agency, and eventually awakening to one’s own divinity.
And this journey is not without it’s challenges for the initiate and pitfalls for the experienced practitioner.

Whether you are a daka or dakini who has leanred “the hard way,” someone who’s still struggling for better tools, or one of the “blessed” who’s career in healing the Wounded Feminine, so far, has had few upsets, this is 3-days with expert teachers David Cates, Betty Martin and Reid Mihalko you will not want to miss!]]></description>

<div>As sacred sexual practitioners, “healing the Wounded Feminine” is not just the grand calling of bringing the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine <span style="color: #ff0000;">into full integration </span>on Earth. It is also the intimate journey a healer accompanies their seekers on, a journey of releasing traumas,  nurturing the capacity to transform pain and receive pleasure, rediscovering one’s voice and sexual agency, and eventually awakening to one’s own divinity.</div>
<div>
<p>And this journey is not without its challenges for the initiate and pitfalls for the experienced practitioner.</p>
<p>As mid-wives of others’ transformation, we know all too well that most seekers will not know how delving into, stirring up, and beginning to confront their shadow sides will manifest. It is our responsibility as their teachers and guides, as best we can, to midwife our clients through their emotional and psychic upheavals with compassion and supportive grace. But even the best and most experienced among healers can experience unaccounted for difficulties and challenges.</p>
<p>Whether you are a daka or dakini who has leanred “the hard way,” someone who’s still struggling for better tools, or one of the “blessed” who’s career in healing the Wounded Feminine, so far, has had few upsets, this is 3-days that you will not want to miss!</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Live, eat, train, and bond for 3-days in the Catskill Mountains with this dynamic and diverse teacher-triad and an intimate group of knowledge-hungry healers!</span></strong></h3>
<p>This Practitioners’ 3-day Advanced Intensive is being held October 5th, 6th and 7th, immediately following the <a title="Learn all about the 3-Day Conference for Tantra Teachers!" href="http://www.reidaboutsex.com/reid-to-co-sponsor-octobers-east-coast-dakadakini-tantra-conference-in-the-catskills/" target="_blank">Daka/Dakini Conference East</a>.

</blockquote>
<p><strong>In this 3-day intensive, you will learn: </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>How to access and wield your Sacred Masculine in ways that protect and support the healing of another&#8217;s Sacred Feminine.</li>
<li>How to create a powerful container appropriate for deep work inside of the Wounded Feminine.</li>
<li>Practical tools, protocols and approaches to doing Wounded Feminine work that are applicable on all or most clients, as well as ways for mapping out the mid-wifeing of their journey back to wholeness.</li>
<li>Ways to create boundaries and agreements that will support your client while preventing you from over-extending and depleting your reserves.</li>
<li>What to watch out for and, especially, what not-to-do when working with seekers who have histories of abuse, and how you can best support them and yourself through such work.</li>
<li>How to account for our own learning curves when working with the Wounded Feminine, and do it in ways that strengthen our work, empower our clients and lessen mishaps.</li>
<li>Ways to take responsibility for “wrong calls” (when and if they happen) that will keep you grounded, strengthen your seeker’s trust rather than undermine it, and move the healing forward in ways that being defensive and attempting to “be perfect” cannot.</li>
</ul>
<h4 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Doing Wounded Feminine work with seekers inevitably touches upon their scars, sometimes reopening them. It also, at times, unexpectedly re-activates and reopens our own wounds.</span></strong></h4>

</blockquote>
<p><strong>During this intimate, intense journeying with David, Betty and Reid,</strong> <strong>you will experience: </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The edges of your own woundedness in order that you may bridge your experience to that of your seekers.</li>
<li>Protocols that will allow you to “front-load” a seeker’s awareness and preemptively direct their stored-up rage and mistrust in constructive ways, ways that will empower their healing and lessen the load on you.</li>
<li>How keeping your composure and taking “full-responsibility” when you are the one who is being blamed creates an opening for quantum healing.</li>
<li>The support and witnessing of your peers in ways that will strengthen your practice and empower the community of sacred healers as a whole.</li>
</ul>

<h4 style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Given the statistics, all of us, whether we know it or not, will at some point in our practices, work with a client or clients with abuse histories. </span></strong></h4>
<p><span style="font-weight: normal;">Join us and explore what precautions we can take that can prevent us from re-traumatizing our clients and free them from re-experiencing disempowering patterns. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: normal;">If you think learning the hard-won knowledge of experiencing the fury of a wounded woman or man as they heal themselves and reclaim their sexuality is important to your practice, then this is 3-days with three mentors you do not want to miss. If being able to masterfully create a container with your Divine Masculine so that the Divine Feminine can re-calibrate herself within your seekers, or if knowing how to role model steadfastness and reliability in times of concern and distress for your clients are skill sets that you think will take your clients deeper and your offerings to the next level, then register today. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: normal;">And, if it has been your own journey towards healing yourself that has given you an intimate experience of completing your own Wounded Feminine nature, and midwifing others through their own journey has become your calling, then this is definitely the place for you to peel back the next layer.</span></p>

<h2><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Teleclass #4: Feeling Great About Saying No<br />
</span></strong><em>Communicating Guilt-free Boundaries</em></h2>
<p><strong>With Diana Adams, Esq., Reid Mihalko, and Erotic Educator Dr. Betty Martin</strong></p>
<p>Do you have difficulty in saying no? Wish you were better atenforcing your boundaries? Do you avoid rejecting people and, in doing so, often end up participating in things you&#8217;d rather not? Does feeling guilty often influence your decision-making?</p>
<p>Many women feel they can&#8217;t say no because they care too much or don&#8217;t want to hurt the other person&#8217;s feelings. But the inability to say No powerfully is often about fear and insecurity. And while we may know that the most considerate thing we can do is give someone an honest and compassionate No, we struggle and often sellout on ourselves. The results are a wishy-washy Maybe, a lackluster No or, worse, we say Yes when we want to say No.</p>
<p>Join Diana Adams, Esq., Reid Mihalko and their special tele-guest, erotic educator Dr. Betty Martin for 90-minutes designed to get you feeling great about saying no!</p>
<p><strong>In this, the last call of the teleseries, we will teach you how to:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Get used to saying No when its not life threatening so you</li>
<li>Use saying No as a self-esteem builder</li>
<li>Leave the people you say No to feeling seen and appreciated</li>
<li>Give a stress-free No</li>
<li>Find your own style and way of saying No</li>
<li>How to use saying No as a means to getting something youre a Yes to!</li>
</ul>
<p>If saying No is something you&#8217;ve always wanted to master, or you&#8217;d love to stop feeling guilty for taking care of yourself, then you definitely don&#8217;t want to miss downloading and listening to this MP3!</p>
