Episode 13: Life Experiments

9/22/2009

How do you explore  alternative possibilities for your career without risking everything?

"Life Experiments"

If you believe the ads on TV from the financial investment companies, we are supposed to save and deny our dreams until we are 70 and retired. Then we are supposed to cram every fantasy into our remaining years - sailing yachts into the sunset, traveling the world and retiring to the beach.  I think that putting off your passions is unnecessary and a terrible waste of a great life. Instead, you can re-learn how to play and try out all of your dreams - now. Come and hear about Life Experiments and how they can give you a way to pursue all of your passions - without quitting your job or spending all of your savings.

Biography: Allan Bacon is on a mission to help smart, creative people find their callings without having to quit their jobs. He is an author, speaker and consultant who publishes Avocationist.com and has been featured on CNN, the Dallas Morning News and the Christian Science Monitor.

10/13/09

In this show, we'll explore the many levels of Tantra and heart-centered sexuality.  We'll discuss questions such as what Tantra really is, 3 keys to Tantric experience and relationship, the interface of sexuality & creativity, male-female polarities, and the role of healing in facilitating a deeper, less inhibited, more fulfilling Tantric union with oneself, one's own body, and a partner.

His work through Life Flowering Healing focuses on assisting clients in creating the joyful, balanced, and prosperous lives they deserve.  Jordan provides graceful, miraculous, and transformational healing, classes, and initiations to support and nurture whole being and life purpose, in all dimensions, for a truly holistic approach to Life.  Jordan brings a compassionate, deep perspective and respect for the challenges of others together with a profound desire to bring forth each client's own healing energies and inner knowing of what is right for them.

Episode 16: Decorating Your Temple: Sacred Body Modification

10/27/09

Abraham Street is back!
There is beauty and power in intentionally changing the way one is perceived by others. Whether it's putting on a ball gown and makeup, drawing a symbol on your left thigh every morning, piercing your lips to remind yourself to speak only truth, or surgically altering your appearance to be more in line with your gender identity, there are more ways to practice the art of body modification than getting a tattoo - although those can be powerful as well.

Abraham is known for creating and priesting body spirituality rituals and engaging in personal transformation through various forms of changing perceptions of the self. He will share his professional experiences with various forms of temporary, long term, and permanent sacred body modifications. A great discussion for people who are considering some form of modification, people who have modified their body in some way, or those who are interested in the practice.

Bio

For more than a decade, Abraham has been an educator and facilitator of everything from spirituality to sacred sexuality to body mod to kink—sometimes merging all these together. With interests including BDSM, Tantra, energy work, polyamory, D/s and M/s relationships, and rigging, Abraham offers his unique and sacred/profane view on subjects ranging from body play to energy play and beyond. He has worked as a professional tattoo artist and body piercer since 1996. As co-president of Sacred Mark Sanctuary, he works to help people connect their bodies and spirits through ritual, ordeal, and physical awareness. You can reach him here: [email protected]

Abraham is a founding creator of Fires of
Venus, a sacred fire circle event dedicated to Love and sacred sexuality.
