Christiane Pelmas is a force of nature and her evolving inquiry and meditation on re-wilding and returning to our undomesticated embodiment has informed her path as a mentor, guide, teacher, elder and space-holder.  Author of “Trauma: A Practical Guide to Working with Body and Soul” and “Women’s Wisdom Guidebook & Card Deck,” Christiane is founder of The Institute for Erotic Intelligence and The One Woman Movement and Project, and co-founder of The Verdant Collective.  She facilitates the Erotically Embodied Ethics online experience. 

Joseph Kramer founded two seminal institutions that have produced 1000s of somatic sex educators, sexological bodyworkers and sacred intimates all over the world, namely, The Body Electric School of Massage and Rebirthing, approved to train professionals in California in 1984, and the profession of Sexological Bodywork, approved as a profession by the State of California in 2003.  The curriculum for both institutes came to him during extended lucid heightened erotic states during which creativity and consciousness bypass the rational mind.  

Craig’s journey of erotic and sexual embodiment and liberation is a beautiful trajectory of love, service and dedication.  His transformational spiritual/erotic experience as a participant in a Body Electric workshop, lead to assisting, then teaching and eventually directing The Body Electric organization, guiding it to new realms of inclusion and expansion.  He shares candidly essential elements of his various experiences as a participant that became the ingredients to sacred space-holding as a coach, teacher and director.  

Dr. Laura Jurgens, certified Sex & Intimacy Coach & Somatica Practitioner, shares her journey of re-inhabiting and reclaiming her body, her sexual pleasure, and re-writing the sexual intimacy in her marriage after years of dissociation as a survivor of childhood physical and sexual abuse.  

"When we touch someone, we touch their whole history, their deepest wounds, their secret identity, their healing powers, and their most profound capacities for joy.

Sacred Intimacy is not rocket science, though it is neuroscience. 

We need to understand the neural learning zone, address the traumatic shaping we experience around the erotic, and create space for and welcome empowered choice and voice. We need to understand about attachment wounds, navigate power dynamics, and eschew relationship paradigms that inhibit loving connection. 

The lens of neurobiology helps us do this work in ways that are trauma aware, ethical and deeply grounded.  There is also a domain - specific knowledge we need, of sensual massage, genital anatomy, genital massage strokes, genital dearmouring, and the integration of science, sex and spirit."

Ron & Pono Stewart are both certified Sexological Bodyworkers and Somatic Sex Educators who have focussed insights and experiences in tailor-designing individual and couples retreats for men/cock-owners.   We explore how some of the most common issues involving enjoying healthy erections and ejaculation choice are rooted from our developmental imprints where our connection and intimacy with our genitalia are formed, and how they each and together hold sacred space for men to embody, empower, and expand the capacity for sacred eros.

Olivia Naomi Bryant is the creator of Self-Cervix - a body of somatic education, research and call to revolution for reclaiming and developing a love affair with this often overlooked and medially mistreated part of the sexual and reproductive anatomy.   Studies show that 60% of orgasms by vulva-owners are experienced via the clitoris, 30% intra-vaginally, whilst only 10 % are experienced via the Cervix - despite the cervix being innervated by 3 sets of paired nerves (Vagus, Hypogastric, Pelvic) - the most of any part of the reproductive anatomy.  We explore reasons for why this is and how to sensitize and reclaim the pleasures and orgasmic capacity of the Cervix.   

How can we identify, embody, and explore relating from previously disowned, shamed and judged aspects of our Self to a place of integration and wholeness?  Tani Tholes and Leslie Rogers of Light/Dark Institute create private individual & couples' intensives and group retreats to facilitate just that utilizing kink, bondage, Dom/Sub Ceremonies all guided by their client's intentions, and held within a safe container of clearly defined boundaries, safe words, desires and after-care.
