Sex and Happiness – Raids on the Phoenix and Sedona Goddess Temples | Laurie Handlers (http://www.ButterflyWorkshops.com)gathers a group of seasoned sex workers, sexological body workers, surrogates, and “dakinis” from around the US to discuss the recent September 7th government raids on the Phoenix and Sedona Goddess Temples (http://www.tantricnews.com/phoenix-goddess-temple-raided.html)that led to the arrest of perhaps twenty individuals on charge of prostitution and what these raids mean to the rest of society. The panelists include: Betty Martin (http://www.EroticEducation.org), Mare Simone (http://MareSimone.com), Scott Catamas (http://www.LoveCoachScott.com), EveLynn (http://www.awakeningbody.com) and Shama Helena (http://www.HelenaOnLove.com). The conversation is rich with the life experiences of these panelists who know about how our society is challenged and starved for touch. It would seem that bringing pleasure to a body can be interpreted as prostitution rather than pleasure for pleasure’s sake or healing during religious ritual’s sake between two consenting adults. At the conclusion of the show, I discuss what options you (the listener) have if you’d like to support or make a difference in the outcome of this very tricky case against Tracy Elise, the Found-Her of the temples. | 9/26/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Sex and Happiness – Celibacy, a Non-religious Conscious Choice | Laurie Handlers (http://www.ButterflyWorkshops.com)explores the world of celibacy as a non-religious conscious choice with Tanja Diamond (http://www.learningtantra.com), "The Tantra Teacher", C.Ht, NLP, creator of Modern Tantra™ and Tantra for Business™. Tanja is a Life Strategist specializing in Business, Spirituality and Sexual Intimacy, and the author of Beyond Sex: Tantra, a practical guide to extraordinary living. The information that Tanja shares and what she learned from each aspect of her six years of celibacy is priceless. Diamond discusses different phases of celibacy, the first being no sex, with another, no self-sex. Then she moves into a periods of having sex with herself, but with no other. Then she spent a few years dating, but remaining sex free and finally she took two years to be able to kiss and touch, and cuddle, but nothing more explicit. One could say that it was truly a Tantric journey into the depths of self, an experiment with boundaries and with communication extraordinaire.

Dr. Berlin is a retired pediatrician, author and inventor. His first book, an autobiography Everywoman a Goddess: Everyman a Hero in Her Service is the story of his creation of a path to divine unitary consciousness that integrates evolutionary biology, quantum mechanics and neurobiology with sacred sexuality. | 8/29/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
