What is a Cuddle Party?
An Official Cuddle Party is a fun, playful workshop about connection and communication that includes an abundance of nurturing, affectionate touch. It's a structured, non-sexual and drug and alcohol-free, community potluck for adults. It's a wonderful way to make new friends and heal your stress. Called a "Party" because it is so much fun (a wonderful alternative to a standard singles scene and night life although you can be in ANY relationship status to join us)!
People may attend a Cuddle Party for a variety of reasons. Some come just to have fun and enjoy a wonderful evening of connecting with like-hearted people. Some see a Cuddle Party as a great networking opportunity to look for new friends, significant other, business associates. Some (both men and women alike) come to safely fulfill their need for affection and nurturing touch that may be missing in their everyday life. Some appreciate the learning and personal growth aspect, having the opportunity to improve their social and communication skills (expressing needs, setting boundaries, etc.), and explore ways of creating conscious connection and closeness. Some may appreciate risking connecting ...read more

When Fear is Fun ~ Fear is Freed

When Fear is Fun ~ Fear is Freed on February 29, 2016 in Oakland, CA : Free and Fearful Friends,
Moment to moment we are being created by and contributing to a field of fear. This field has personal, ancestral, cultural a nd evolutionary aspects that go back to the beginning of time.
At the heart of all fear is our original freedom.
To recover our wholeness, act from our center, and be the change we wish to see in the world, we must become grand enough to feel and cherish this primordial polarity: fear and freedom, love and fear, past conditioning and future potential.
This Spring WEpractice will explore new pathways into freedom — a freedom that goes beyond fear while still including it.
Come to our open sessions on Mondays February 29 and March 7 to find out more.
And please forward this email to your friends!
(cause fear is fun with friends)
An Applied Group Learning Experience
During our spring program each of us will engage a specific area of life where we are afraid to move forward. We will use our group field as a supportive learning laboratory to move through fear. We will skillfully navigate patterning that has kept us from expressing our intelligence, care, creativity, and love.
Is there a specific area of your life where you would like to move through fear into freedom?
Love, Relationships and Dating?
Career and Calling?
Passion and Purpose?
Finding and Fulfilling Your Mission?
Deepening your spiritual practice?
WEpractice will provide a space for you to make powerful strides through fear while having FUN.
The Power of WE
We need each other in order to face our fear.
Fear is held in place by a sense of isolation, shame, and existential threat. There is an implicit belief that if we move into our fear we will die. However, more often than not this is a trance ...read more

Breema: The Art of Being Present

LA_flyer_4events

Breema: The Art of Being Present on March 12, 2016 in Los Angeles, CA : Join us for this rare opportunity to experience Breema in a workshop led by Jon Schreiber, Director of the Breema Center and the Breema Clinic in Oakl and, California and author of many books, including "Breema and the Nine Principles of Harmony" and “Child of Existence, Child of Society.”
Breema is a natural expression of the underlying unity of Existence. It introduces us to a new way of living and relating to life, based on nine universal principles. Instead of trying to navigate through life by relying on our subjective interpretation of events, Breema shows us how to unify mind, body and feelings to become present. When we are present, we can respond more naturally and harmoniously to whatever life puts in front of us.
This workshop will be a practical and experiential introduction to Breema bodywork, Self-Breema exercises, and the Nine Principles of Harmony as tools for becoming present. The atmosphere of a Breema workshop, supported by principles such as No Judgment and Single Moment/Single Activity, is deeply nourishing and revitalizing. Our emphasis is on exploring and gaining first-hand experience with the Principles, which can be applied in any activity or situation.
You will leave with the ability to practice what you learn for the mutual benefit of yourself and those you exchange with.
To receive a complimentary Breema mini-session in person before the workshop, come to our free introductory event on Friday evening, March 11 in the same location, from 6:30 to 8:30pm.
A second workshop will be held on Sunday, March 13 at the Brewery Lofts, with a free introductory event on Saturday evening, March 12 at that venue. See our website for details.
No bodywork experience is necessary, but participants need to be comfortable sitting, lying ...read more
