Healing the Pelvic Floor: Reclaiming your Power, Sexuality and Pleasure Potential
Suzanne Scurlock-Durana
“As women we have a unique power of creativity in our reproductive system,” Suzanne Scurlock- Durana writes. “That power is used not only to create new life, but also to bring personal pro- jects into being. However, that energy can be blocked by physical, emotional, or spiritual trau- ma to the pelvic floor and the female organs. This workshop for women uses guided imagery, movement, and hands-on exercises (while clothed) to heal the pelvic floor, including the vagina and uterus, places that often hold our deepest wounds: sexual abuse, rape, abortions, childbirth tearing and scars, self-esteem, and negative images about our femininity. Because self-knowledge is important, scientific and anatomic information will be presented.
“This workshop offers a rare opportunity for deep healing. During these five days you can
experience new possibilities for renewed femi- nine energy, greater health, and a deeper sense of pleasure in being a woman. We will spend time exploring nature and how our connection to the earth can deepen our connection to our- selves. The workshop will culminate with an evening of nurturing at the Esalen natural hot spring baths.” This course is valuable for health- care professionals and anyone wishing to learn alternative approaches to women’s health.

Lotus Borne Perception: Awareness Teachings of Tibetan Buddhism and Continuum Movement
Susan Harper & Lama Drimed
In this retreat Lama Drimed and Susan Harper open a multi-dimensional inquiry into our spiritual, somatic, and creative human capacity. Recognizing our natural state of awareness as a foundation, we will explore a dynamic range that includes meditative stillness, fresh perceiv- ing, and movement and sounding, which opens a vital flow of creativity.
Lama Drimed offers awareness teachings from the Dzogchen tradition. Our natural state is rec- ognized to be all-inclusive awareness. We awak- en to the fresh perception of this moment—the natural aliveness that is our birthright. This is the essence of the ancient tantric ways that celebrate the unfolding of our life as sacred.
Susan Harper offers explorations from Continuum, a unique sound and movement practice, in which we inquire into our capacity to innovate, and participate with the essential movement processes of life. The dynamics of
