Dark Odyssey is a journey of sexual adventure, where open-minded people gather to explore Tantra, Polyamory, Intimate Communications, BDSM, Alternative Lifestyles and more. I&apos;ll be teaching &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tell Me What You Want, What You Really Really Want&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Erotic Breathwork&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, and in collaboration with my friends and colleauges Mark Michaels and Patricia Johnson, I&apos;ll be teaching &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tantric Sexual Ritual&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; and co-leading Dark Odyssey&apos;s first ever &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Maithuna Ritual&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;b&gt;12 March 2010 &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rhode Island School of Design&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;b&gt;Providence, RI&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ll be facilitating my &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to have A Gender-Free Orgasm&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; workshop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;21 March 2010&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Urban Tantra: Sacred Sex for the 21st Century&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.opencenter.org/urban-tantra-sacred-sex-for-the-21st-century/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New York Open Center&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A One-Day Workshop&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Urban Tantra&amp;reg; is a radically updated Tantra practice for modern sexual and spiritual explorers. It can be used anywhere and by everyone&amp;mdash;inexperienced, young, old, queer, edgy, timid, differently-abled, tattooed&amp;mdash;you name it. Tantra is not only a sexual practice, it also is a sensuous way of life and a path to spiritual growth and fulfillment. On the Tantric path, pleasure, vision and ecstasy are celebrated and can be as available in everyday life as they are in peak sexual experiences. In this workshop, you&apos;ll learn Tantric techniques for intense full-bodied orgasms, amazingly deep, heart-centered connections (with a partner or with yourself), and the bliss that comes when your spiritual and sexual paths are one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0px; font-family: Verdana; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;May 2009&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.urbantantra.org/UT_Professional_Training_Course.htm&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;Urban Tantr&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.urbantantra.org/UT_Professional_Training_Course.htm&quot;&gt;&amp;reg;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.urbantantra.org/UT_Professional_Training_Course.htm&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt; Professional Training Program&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0px; font-family: Verdana; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;San Francisco, CA&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Urban Tantra&amp;reg; is a radically updated Tantra practice for modern sexual and spiritual explorers. It can be used anywhere and by everyone&amp;mdash;inexperienced, young, old, queer, edgy, timid, differently-abled, tattooed&amp;mdash;you name it. In this intensive workshop, created especially for&amp;mdash;but not limited to&amp;mdash;the sacred sex professional, Urban Tantra provides you with a more relevant language and practice, enabling you to work with clients/students who have no sacred sex background. With Urban Tantra, the world is your client.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;I will help you create the ultimate path of pleasure for your clients/students, allowing them to access their most divine selves. As a professional, you want to teach what is closest to your heart, while also maintaining a successful business. You&amp;rsquo;ll learn how easily accessible language and simple techniques can help you share Tantra&amp;rsquo;s powerful message in today&apos;s, fast-paced, goal-oriented, pleasure-starved world. You&amp;rsquo;ll be able to offer your clients/students immediate results and the promise of more bliss to come.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;In this very special 5-day course you will learn:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&amp;bull; How to adapt your language to attract and keep a more diverse client/student base.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;bull; How to create gender-neutral practices that will allow you to work with people of all genders and sexual preferences.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;bull; Unique Urban Tantric breathing techniques and exercises.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;bull; How to give your client/student what s/he wants and needs without compromising the integrity of your process.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;bull; How the &amp;ldquo;dark arts&amp;rdquo; of BDSM (including fantasy, roleplay, conscious power exchange and intense sensation) can be expand your Tantra practice into ecstatic new realms.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;bull; Plus so much more&amp;hellip;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;To register, or for more information, please contact&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:donia@urbantantra.org&quot;&gt;donia@urbantantra.org&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;27 - 30 May 2010 &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.icandoit.net/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium;&quot;&gt;I Can Do It Conference&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;margin: 0px; font-family: Verdana; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Toronto, Ontario&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Join me in Toronto for Hay House&apos;s I Can Do It&amp;reg; conference.
