"With passion pray. With passion make love. With passion eat and drink and dance and play. Why look like a dead fish in this ocean of God?" [Rumi]
"Jim and Felicia have tremendous skill, wisdom, passion, and sensitivity in their work with couples." Michael Klein Ph.D.
After the Honeymoon programs provide a container for soulful learning about erotic partnership.
The small group setting provides a fun, supportive, no pressure environment. All intimate conversations happen privately between you and your partner.
You will come away with practices for constructing a genuine, enduring, passionate connection that includes friendship, emotional closeness and physical intimacy.
Erotic Partnership work is based on becoming embodied, owning desire, being skillful in relationship, cultivating passion and sexual play.
Have you found that, even though you want to, you can't seem to bring more sexual vitality into your relationship?
Does your lifestyle sometimes suck the creative juice from your erotic self, leaving you with a dry, less than satisfying sexual relationship?
Has the discrepancy between what you and your partner want sexually come to live between you like a prickly pear cactus?
Do either you are your partner struggle with premature ejaculation, inability to maintain an erection or painful intercourse for which there is no physical cause?
Do one of you long for intimacy while the other wants sex?
Do you want to have a more meaningful sex life?
If you find yourself answering yes to any of these questions, you may want to consider a vacation retreat or Commitment-to-Passion group.
Couples who are currently in counseling will find that Erotic Partnership work deepens and complements therapy. We will collaborate with your therapist as appropriate.
