As the quest for deeper sexual wisdom has evolved, a need has arisen for sexual energy practitioners and educators to gather in an open-minded collegial environment to share and support one another. Each of us who has chosen this professional arena of sexual energy, wisdom, and wellness recognizes that there is a broad array of philosophies and transformational modalities available to us. To share this knowledge with each other, we have founded the Asssociation of Sexual Energy Professionals (ASEP).
Since the late 1960s, traditional shamanism has become increasingly popularized, and contemporary shamanic adaptations have been emerging in Western culture. In the last few years, many practitioners have begun to use the “shamanic” label and to adapt shamanic approaches with their clients and students.But what is shamanism? And what is a sexual shaman?
In this conference, we explore the integration of shamanic practices with sexual energy.
