A Day of Practice with Lama Rod
Awakening Wellness Through the Sacred Erotic
Sunday, September 8th, 2024 from 9:00am - 4:00pm ET
in Atlanta, GA
The practice of queer divinity is about remembering ourselves, including our bodies, our sexuality, our gender identification, our history, traumas, lovers, and all the ways we use our bodies to engage in pleasure. The practice of intimacy is the practice of allowing our compassion to embrace our fear so that we may actually begin experiencing true closeness with ourselves and others. Come experience this open, frank, and hopefully shame-free exploration of exploring the sexual divine.
