Tennessee Williams said
“The opposite of death is desire…”
Spirituality and sex
are intimately and irrevocably linked. Our body, minds
and souls unite during sex and connect us to the divine
Universe in a way that no other spiritual work can.
Most of the spiritual practices today focus on the
"upper" chakras, taking us out of our bodies
and away from the physical. Other practices, yoga,
psychotherapy and body work, in our Westernized versions,
have eliminated the sexual connection to the self
and many times skip over the sensual altogether. This
presentation will remind us how to incorporate our
sexuality into our spiritual practice, helping us
to connect to each other and to the spirit of our
partners through a deep appreciation of sexuality
and the importance of understanding our spirit; body,
mind and soul.
Using examples of couples work, this presentation
will show how sensuality exercises can begin the reconnection
experience; physically, emotionally and spiritually.
Commitment to safety and respect by the presenter
is inherent during this presentation, and will help
maintain the feeling of safety that is paramount to
the work necessary when discussing sexual context.
Tammy Nelson is Executive Director
of the Center for Healing & Recovery, a holistic
psychotherapy and wellness center, a Licensed Professional
Counselor, Registered Art Therapist, Licensed Alcohol
and Drug Counselor and Certified Imago Relationships
Therapist. In private practice since 1995, she specializes
in treating couples and is an expert in working with
sexual intimacy issues, body image disturbances and
eating disorders. Her recent work with Eve Ensler's
Broadway play "The Good Body" at the Red
Tent Installation in NY included workshops entitled
"Mandalas as Symbols for the Self." Tammy
is also a writer and author of the book, "What's
Eating You? A Workbook for Teens Who have Trouble
With Food", InstantHelpBooks (2005). Tammy currently
presents on her new book, "Passionate Partnerships:
A Guide For Couples," due out this year.

You possess an innate intuitive
intelligence so powerful that it can tell you how to heal
and prevent illness. Judith Orloff, MD, a pioneer in the
new field of Energy Psychiatry shows how to reclaim this
intelligence. She passionately believes that the future
of medicine lies in using intuition to access your body’s
subtle energies for greater wellness. This sacred energy
is with you at birth, throughout life and continues after
death – a marker of your soul’s journey. You
can learn to draw upon it.
This talk, based on Dr. Orloff’s
new book, Positive Energy, offers practical ways to increase
total wellbeing. You’ll discover how to:
· Use intuition to
access energies from physical to spiritual
· Read energy fields
· Combat “energy vampires,” people who drain you
· Avoid fatigue by not absorbing people’s pain or negativity
· Prevent energy defensive eating, a major reason diets fail
· Prevent energetic overload and exhaustion from being in crowds
· Maintain your body’s physical health and subtle energy system
Too many of us walk around
exhausted, irritable, or stressed out by the pressures
of daily life and the demands we put on ourselves. There
is a better, easier way to live and it’s available
to you now. Let Dr. Judith Orloff show you ways to reconnect
with subtle energies in daily life to become more joyful
and healthy. For more information about Judith Orloff M.D.

Awareness and energy are interrelated.
When awareness is unfocused and bound up in unknown feelings
and thoughts, the energy flow in the body is blocked
causing discomfort and possibly disease. Gestalt therapy
is a dynamic, holistic, and experiential therapy. The
goal is the appreciation and integration of all aspects
of the self. Focusing on here-and-now awareness and interaction
is a means of integrating past experiences, the present,
and movement into the future.
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT)
is a humanistic, action-oriented approach to emotional
growth which emphasizes the individual’s capacity
for creating one’s emotions by changing one’s
thoughts and the power to choose and implement satisfying
alternatives to current life challenges. A combination
of Gestalt therapy, REBT, and Energy Healing helps one
to free oneself from energy blocks physically, emotionally,
mentally, and spiritually.
We will present an introduction to awareness
and contact with oneself on all levels in order to promote
change and wellness through the use of Gestalt therapy,
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, and Energy Healing.
Being fully present in the moment encourages each individual’s
potential for creativity, growth, and change

with Wanda Easter Burch
author of
She Who Dreams: A Journey into Healing through Dreamwork
Through the telling
of one woman’s story, her own, Wanda
Burch describes how we can use our dreams to discover or build
more creative relationships, draw on energy and guidance from
deeper sources, and connect with the deeper story of our lives,
and even self diagnose and self-heal major illness. Wanda was
always a dreamer, and her grandmother believed in the power
of dreams and encouraged her to pay attention to her dreams.
She had dreamed that she would die at a certain age. Her dreams
foretold her diagnosis of breast cancer, and then guided her
toward treatment and wellness. She tells an amazing story of
one dream in which she renegotiated her life contract, choosing
to live longer and not to die, but not without cost. Her message
is that wisdom lives within each of us, and we can tap into
that wisdom with some guidance. Wanda writes “within
each of us lies the ability to rise above the challenges
of our lives and choose our own ways of living, of healing.”
Wanda Burch is a long-term survivor
(14 years) of breast cancer who has always had a vibrant
dream life. She works
with Robert Moss, author of Conscious Dreaming. She also
gives seminars and workshops on dreams and works closely
with support groups, churches, and cancer organizations to
teach women about healing practices. Her other work involves
historical preservation, and she has extensive experience
in facilitating groups for historical societies, women’s
organizations, and support groups. She lives in Fultonville,
New York.
The evening will begin with networking/social
time followed by our speaker.

The evening will begin with networking/social
time followed by our speakers.
The world of holistic
health has met the world of traditional medicine. The
public now has access
to information formerly held only by doctors, and they
are seeking out different approaches to maintaining good
health. With the public’s focus on more unified,
holistic approaches to their own health and well-being,
how are health care professionals responding to this movement?
Professor Lucille Kinlein, founder of a new health care
profession (Esca), and a pioneer in the holistic health
field, will share her thoughts on this and her vision of
the future of the health care field. Kinlein will discuss
how the views a person has in regard to themselves and
the way of life that they follow play a vital part in the
maintenance of a state of health. The way you view yourself
is likely to be profoundly changed by the end of this evening’s
program!
Lucille Kinlein, in 1971, founded the
First Professional Practice Discipline in the Field of
Philosophy Applied in Living Life. As founder of the
theory of moving in Esca in living life on a day to day
basis, she has authored 5 books and been a visiting professor
at universities in 45 states. She was a pioneer in the
health care field in separating from the “medical
model” to establish an independent practice 32
years ago to “care with clients” vs. care
for patients.

The ancient dream healers understood that
we are often out of touch, in our surface mind, with what
we truly desire, on the level of heart and soul. If we fail
to follow the secredt wishes of the soul, part of our vital
energy goes away. We become prone to illness and depression;
we lose our magic. Through dreams, in which we may travel
far beyond the body and the physical plane, we find our soul
mates and our soul's purpose. By celebrating our dreams and
helping them to take root in the world, we become whole and
well, and live to our deeper story.
In this high-energy, fun-packed introduction to the core
techniques of Active Dreaming - Robert Moss's original synthesis
of modern dreamwork and ancient
shamanism - learn to find and fulfill your heart's desires with
the help of a warm and supportive circle. Learn a fun, fast
way to share dreams and take creative action to bring their
energy and insight into waking life that you can practice
anywhere, anytime. Discover how to use dreams for guidance
and healing, how to dream the future and change it for the
better, how to free the creator and healer in you - and live
a life filled with natural magic.
Robert Moss is a lifelong
dream explorer, shamanic counselor, former professor of ancient
history at
the Australian National University, and author of Conscious
Dreaming, Dreamgates, Dreaming True among others. He
leads innovative workshops in dreaming around the world.
