Usually, we ask the Seeker about their boundaries, but what about your boundaries? Do you know them? How do you honor them? \u00a0When we honor our boundaries in addition to those of the seeker, sensual touch can also be a gift to yourself.\u00a0\u00a0Honoring both sets of boundaries helps us maintain the beauty of the gift and keep the energy clear and positive.<\/p>\n<p>Experiential exercises and discussion in multiple sessions will allow you to explore your boundaries and how to work with them. The awareness of your boundaries, the tools for exploring them and ideas we generate on honoring them will be helpful for participating in Scarlet Sanctuary, and can be transferred to other aspects of life.<\/p>\n<p><b>Modern Misconceptions around Sexuality<\/b><\/p>\n<p>We are raised in a society where we are taught that sex is bad, evil and dirty.\u00a0 But sex is a biological function and necessary to each individual\u2019s mental well-being.\u00a0 Various texts, recordings, videos will help us to understand how our sexual identities are on a spectrum from male to female, from heterosexual to homosexual to gender fluidity and how we can\u2019t make a moral judgment about any of the variants when it is a biological issue.\u00a0\u00a0 This is information that can be helpful when dealing with people seeking loving touch in how we perceive them and how they perceive us as givers.<\/p>\n<p><b>The History of the Qadisht<\/b><b>u<\/b><b> Path<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The work of the Qadishtu as it fits within our lives today is taught by David Torrey and is made more meaningful by understanding the history of this longstanding tradition. The Qadishti appeared, under many names and guises, across a variety of traditions in ancient times: their view of sexuality as sacred sacrament is a constant theme regardless of time and cultural milieu. This course will provide initiates with a solid understanding of the history of the tradition that they seek entry into so that their roots are firmly planted in the footsteps of those servants of the Divine Feminine who have gone before them.<\/p>\n<p><b>Tantra and <\/b><b>Eastern Sexual Magick<\/b><\/p>\n<p>We will provide a class on the subject of Eastern Sexual Magick where David Torrey provides a basic overview of Eastern Sexual Magick methods and how they might be utilized in a Qadishti context. Chaos Magick modalities support blending Tantric and Taoist principles in creative, interesting and effective ways. Many text will be referenced; as well as a broad corpus of Eastern thought. Just remember there are no \u201cSexual Secrets\u201d \u2026 just human beings\u00a0trying to energetically\u00a0connect in meaningful, compassionate and loving\u00a0ways.<\/p>\n<p><b>Contemporary Qadishtu<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p>We will listen to podcasts and read articles published by modern day sacred sexuality practitioners, followed by discussions on how to be Qadishtu in today&#8217;s world.<\/p>\n<p>There are also numerous links to readings and podcasts to read and listen to in this wonderful and vast subject.\u00a0 Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p><b>Wrap up call<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>Experiential 1 &#8211; required<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b>Experiential 2 <\/b><b>\u2013 required <\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Graduation Scarlet Sanctuary.<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction Our first class is an introduction, come prepared to talk about yourself.
