Robin:
OK, I already had the next question I wanted to ask…then you had me at “ten day Vipassana retreat…”
Was this the first time you had done silent retreat, or had you done other shorter ones first?
Isn’t it just the most amazing thing to have the opportunity to watch your brain spin, go through all of the games in your head, then finally give up?!?!?! (and did you see the Vipassana Prison documentary?)
OK, back on track…WHAT THE HELL DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH YOUR WORK!!!!! (What I meant to ask was, What is it that you actually “do”?… but then you got me all hot saying things like Vipassana, quanta, and universal connectedness ***little shudder***)
Destin:
Actually, when I arrived to do my 10-day silent Vipassana retreat, I didn’t really have any clue what meditation really was. If asked, I’d have answered, “Uh… something about counting your breaths?”
Clueless.
Talk about diving in head first!
No, I haven’t seen the film, yet. (FYI, titled “Doing Time: Doing Vipassana”). I’ve been meaning to. Netflix isn’t yet carrying it.
What do I do? So many things. In short, I work with men, women, and couples, helping them release guilt, shame, and fear, and come to a place of being able to fully celebrate their sexuality for its own sake. Not in the needy/grasping kind of way, but rather simply radiating it out, as part of who they are as an alive human being. I work with a coaching program that I’ve developed that I call, “Comprehensive Erotic Evolution, or Unleashing YOUR Inner Erotic Rockstar”. Through this program, I help my clients gain clarity around just what their ideal connection to their erotic self would look like. Who that being would be. And than I help them step deeper and deeper into Being that person. Fun stuff. I recommend it. ;-)
Additionally, I offer a 12-week home-based study course for men called, “Orgasmic Mastery: Take YOUR Sex Life to a Whole New Level!” This course is designed to teach men about how to connect to their erotic energy as an energy and how to work with and play with that energy, rather than feel controlled by it. This leads to such fun things as being able to be fully at choice over when and if they ejaculate, experiencing of Full Body Orgasms, experiencing Non-Ejaculatory Energetic Orgasms, and even Male Multiple Orgasms. Honestly, I’m quite proud of this course. I’ve poured a lot of my time and energy into its development, and now it is affecting men from around the globe.
I also co-teach The Erotic Spirituality Training, with an incredibly powerful, knowledgeable, and experienced Dakini, Triambika (<a href=”http://ecstaticawareness.com” target=”_blank”>http://ecstaticawareness.com</a> ). This training is largely aimed at practitioners and teachers, and has been on-hold for a bit, as Triambika has spent the past 3 months on spiritual retreat in Thailand with her guru of 8 years. Yeah, she’s hardcore. And hot. And one of my more favorite people on the planet. We’ll be teaching this training again come Spring, with a week-long Level 2 certification training following by Summer or Fall.
And then there is the performance art. I play with the Erotic Rockstar persona in a number of public performance-type settings. He is put simply, my own exploration of my ideal erotic self. And what a powerful exploration that has proven to be! I consider him to be just another tool in my mission to transform global sexuality, by simply putting forth a different model of what a sexually empowered man could look like. Be like.
Modeling is a very powerful means of teaching. Perhaps the most powerful.
Which leads us to my last piece…
Erotic Rockstar Productions. This is the video production company that I’ve been working on in the background for the past few years, and is finally coming into fruition. Think hot tantric porn. Cuz really… why doesn’t it exist?
Expect my first offering sometime in 2010.
Yeah, I’m busy. Believe me, I know. I can’t help it. Jesus, if I had the time, you wouldn’t believe all the other shit that’s floating around in my head just waiting to be manifested!
Piece by piece. To quote Ani Difranco, “You have your whole life to do something, and that’s not very long.”
Doing what I can…
