The dating and relationship scene across the country is tangled up in outdated models, mixed messages and “solutions” that aren’t working. What’s worse is, for men AND women, New York City is the simultaneously the best and the worst place on Earth to date! Heck, even the successful relationships around us are failing… Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins!?!

What is it we’re all missing?…

Join world renowned sex and relationship expert Reid Mihalko as he sits down with spiritual counselor and teacher Paula Tursi for 90-minutes of discussion & conversation on how to reframe your experience and enlighten your quest for your perfect someone. Learn how  your search for a mate is really a journey  for your own self discovery.

Over the course of this insightful, comedic (and occasionally irreverent) evening, we will discuss:

• What is that ineffable “thing” is that makes relationships work and why so many of us miss seeing it!
• What if your mate wasn’t suppose to be your perfect lover, best friend, etc., but -instead- is your mirror for growth?
• How dating is really a beautiful lesson in how to live consciously, how to heal your own inner demons, and transform your life (Even during the times it feels like hell).
• Ways to look beyond the “they’re dreamy” Illusion or “Fantasy Loop” you keep getting stuck in and how to see what your no-bullshit truth is!

Are you frustrated by how much time you’ve spent on dating websites and botched, online dates, or bad relationships?

Sit with them as Reid asks and answers some of the hard questions about how we can find spirituality on our quest for Other. Hear Paula’s up front answers in sharing her own experience as she tells what worked and what didn’t and how it brought her closer to her inner light and to a real place of love and compassion instead of inadequacy and bitterness. Then join them for Q&A that just might change your relationship life!

After the workshop, join us for a social, wine meetup where you can mix and mingle  with other like-minded, single men and women whom would also like to get real about relationship.  Expand your mind while expanding your social network!

Whether you’re a man or a woman, married umpteen times, separated, recently divorced or never- been-kissed… Whether you’re just thinking about entering the online dating pool or you’ve been a member of Match.com for so long you should have been given stock options…

This workshop is for anyone who is confused and frustrated and not getting the results they want when it comes to the world of relationships in New York City and beyond!

Paula holds yoga retreats and teacher trainings world wide, where she teaching movement awareness techniques mixed with the yoga to create a clear connection of the mind and body.

Paula’s work focuses on the connection of mind and body, understanding that we move not only from our muscles and joints, but from the understanding of ourselves and how we relate to the world. Movement or asana can start from the inner or outer body, however, movement initiated from the inner body can be an expression of locked memories in the mind that have been patterned over time.

Erickson Society for Psychotherapy and Hypnosis. She teaches classes, holds corporate workshops and offers individual instruction in breath awareness, partner yoga and spiritual coaching.

Let Reid help you make Valentine’s Day suck a lot less this year, and maybe forever!

You’re a New Yorker. You live in one of the greatest, most diverse metropolitan areas on the face of the planet. You are surrounded by millions of people every day… And yet, there’s a decent chance you fall into one of two categories:

• Valentine’s Day in NYC either makes you want to jump off a bridge or has you skipping down the subway stairs at Rush Hour!
• You’re still dating online (and it feels like the Spanish Inquisition) or you’re newly in love (and boinking each other’s brains out every chance)!
• The sight of a dozen roses inspires violent thoughts or it reminds you of your loved one’s fragrant breath…

Whether you’re a jaded New Yorker and Feb 14th has you throwing up a little in your mouth, or you’re newly in love and scrambling to Victoria Secrets for something pink, many of us can’t easily explain what “being romantic” actually is.

We know it when someone is romantic to us. We know we score big points when we’re romantic to someone else. However, teaching someone how to be romantic or how best to romance us is way more complicated than exchanging cards and a teddy bears once a year. Let’s face it: for a relationship to last more than one date, let alone 20-years, Hallmark and Hollywood suck at giving us blackbelt level skills.

Because so many of us fail when it comes to romance or finding someone who’s “romantic enough,” our dating lives and relationships fall short. For the “freshly in love,” the endorphins and warm fuzzies of new relationships have a shelf-life and, once the honeymoon period fades, most can’t keep the romance alive.

How can you tell if someone is good at romance from one date and if they’ll continue to be romantic a year from now? Can you teach an old dog new tricks? Is long-term romance even possible? How can you use romance to strengthen your relationships with others and even with one’s self?

Join sex and relationship educator Reid Mihalko for a playful (and illuminating) two hours of discussion, exercises, and romance just in time for Valentine’s!

Together, we’ll break down and answer such vexing questions as…

• What the hell does she mean when she says, ‘Be more romantic?’
• How can I tell when someone is a romantic looser and what do I do about it?
• What’s the best way to romance a man?
• What are the sure-fire ways to romance a woman?
• How can I make my partner be more romantic?
• What do we do when the flame begins to fade?
• And… Oh god, what am I going to do for Valentine’s Day?!

Whether you’re currently single or celebrating your Gold Anniversary, this workshop is for you! Whatever your orientation, age, cultural background, or experience level, if you’re having problems with dating or the relationship you’re already in… If you need some last minute ideas for Valentine’s Day, or want to bring more passion, tenderness or mystique into your relationships as a daily practice… If you’ve never been to a workshop before or you’re a complete junkie, this entertaining and informative experience will leave you laughing and inspired.

Bring a date, bring a friend, and arm yourself with tools, tips, and tricks to make your entire life more romantic!

• Curious about Sacred Sexuality or have that general feeling that the intimacy in your life is “missing something” or isn’t “deep enough?”
• Had ecstatic experiences in the bedroom that border on spiritual or transcendent, but they’re so far and few between that you’re beginning to doubt if they were real at all?
• Frustrated with your current sex life and really want to “take it to the next level,” but have no idea what the “next level” means, looks like, or how to get there?
• Want to take a workshop on Tantra or Taoist Sexual Practices, but don’t know where to look or how to find a teacher you would connect with?
• Perhaps you know exactly what you want to study, but can’t seem to get your partner or friends to stop calling what you’re into “New Age” and “Woo-Woo Mumbo Jumbo?”

If you answered yes to any of the questions above, or if you or your friends think that shame-free, deeply moving sex and mind expanding orgasms are only for people like Sting, then check out The Great North-East Sacred Sexuality Round Up! and see what is possible for YOU…

If you’re feeling shy about working on your love life in a conscious, intentional way, then why not attend one of the most fun and informative, least threatening and unpretitious (and deeply inspirational!)events on conscious loving happening in the country!

If you love the idea of using sex as a healing path towards greater self-esteem and connection with whatever you label as “the Divine” but can’t understand all the “woo-woo” lingo about Chakras and Divine Masculine that gets tossed around, then join us for one of the most accessible and understandable weekends on sacred sexuality ever put together.

What if we told you mind blowing sex on a regular basis was not only possible, but learnable?

The first of it’s kind, The Great North-East Sacred Sexuality Round Up! is the “gate way drug” for anyone who wants to begin to explore sexuality as a pathway to accelerated healing and  spirituality, or continue to deepen their understanding of sex and love, period.

If you’ve been trying to get your friends to understand what is possible in the realm of expanded relationships and sacred sexual yoga, but to no avail, then get them to New York City this September 25th thru the 27th for what promises NOT to be Sex And the City!

Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha
