   "I work as a coach and had assumed your workshop would be supportive of my development in this area. Expectations met!"

~ Mary Helms
President, CoachWise





   "Luisa, you are both serene and animated, smart and down-to-earth, a woman who exudes a sense of compassion and caring for each and every person you are teaching. I loved the way you combined a sort of lecture (not the dry sort) with interaction, meditation, written and drawn impressions, music, tears and laughter. I tend to intellectualize information as a way of toning down emotional reactions, but during several of the meditations I had very, very strong visceral responses that felt like huge opening-ups of things I spend far too much energy bottling up. What a relief to be able to do this in a safe place!"

~ Meredith Indursky
Stamford, CT





"Even after all this time,
the sun never says to the earth, 'You owe me.' Look what happens with a love like that -- it lights the whole world."

~ Hafiz

SEPTEMBER
Phoenix/Mesa, AZ
ASEP (Association of Sexual Energy Professionals)
4th Annual Conference: Shamanism & Sexuality, Paths of Transformation

Ecstatic Journeying with Your Power Animal: An Experiential Evening with Luisa Kolker, MA LPC

When: Conference: Thursday, September 10 - Sunday, September 14th; Luisa's presentation is on Friday, September 11, 7-10 p.m. Where: Dobson Ranch Inn, Mesa, AZ
Cost: TBA

From the ASEP brochure:

"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, sexual energy 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 will explore the integration of shamanic practices with sexual energy."

As healing professionals, we replenish ourselves sexually and emotionally. We also need to refuel ourselves ecstatically and spiritually. A shamanic journey into non-ordinary reality in the company of a power animal enables access to archetypal, spiritually orgasmic energies that transcend the usual scope of orgasm. Luisa will teach a journey technique that facilitates a uniquely somatic experience: the ecstatic trance posture. She will guide you through a drum-driven shamanic journey so you can explore this transformational, healing technology to use for yourself and with your clients. Bring a blanket, drum, rattle or other rhythmic instrument.



SEPTEMBER

Directions: Call The Pavilion of Hope at 505-470-5885
Cost: $35 ($25 for those 30 years old and younger)

In this evening observance of the autumnal equinox, when the darkness and the light are present in equal measure, we will connect with the feminine and masculine qualities within us, using a shamanic trance posture to facilitate the flow of energetic, orgasmic energies through our physical and energetic bodies. We will drum, meditate, and experience a shamanic trance posture journey to connect with the naturalness of divine pleasure that is our birthright.

Bring a drum/rattle, blanket, eye cover, journal and object(s) for the altar.
