Esther Perel on Coupledom and Intimacy in the Age of the Clintons and Trumps

This year’s presidential election has brought marital relationships to the forefront of national discourse. While Donald and Melania’s relationship is a reflection of the father-as-breadwinner gender role that has long been a pillar of American culture, Hillary and Bill exemplify a very different dynamic. (Pundits still don’t know what to call the husband of a Madam President: the First Mister?). Join therapist and relationship expert Esther Perel as she explores concepts of love, infidelity, and marriage through lens of politics.

Surrender, Trust, and Sexual Spirituality
David Deida

Bestselling author of The Way of the Superior Man and Dear Lover, David Deida continues to light the way to a fuller expression of our unique purpose in love and in life. David teaches that in order to offer our deepest gifts—whether it’s in bed, with our art, or through our work—we must surrender openly and trust in the unknowable nature of humanity. This series of spontaneous teachings, new insights, and question-and-answer sessions will help you relax, illuminate that which we tend to keep hidden, and create an authentic “yoga of intimacy” throughout your days and nights.

Flying Thai Massage: Achieving Gravitational Bliss
Jason Nemer

In this session, participants will learn both how to receive and support a Flying Thai Massage. Students will practice the foundational poses of therapeutic flying, the two leg positions a “receiver” must know, and various yoga stretches and restorative poses that “the base” will bring the flyer into, as well as concepts like thumbing, palming, harmonics, and trigger points that elevate any therapeutic flight. Giving, receiving, and balancing one another is the dance.
