David Deida is an author (with over
ten best selling books) and teacher of a new way of 
viewing and working with Masculine & Feminine energies.
David Deida's work is advanced and often controversial. He says that only one-half of one percent of the population is ready to be doing this work.
This work is for people who are interested in leaning into their edge. It's an environment in which you may be triggered and then supported around finding your deeper power and staying open in the face of life's challenges. This work is for people who want to laugh while noticing their buttons getting pushed.
It's about Radiance & Presence and Being at Choice around when and how you animate each. It's about fully owning and embodying Leading & Following, Masculinity & Femininity, Control & Surrender, D/S ... from a place of choice, openness and love instead of being motivated by societal rules and one's own fear. Where love, truth, and creativity are valued over safety and conformity.
If you know of others that are ready to go swimming in the deep end -- invite them along. This is great opportunity to have fun playing with like minded people.

"In the area of sacred intimacy.
David Deida is holding a lightning bolt. He sheds an astonishing
light."
-- Marianne Williamson, author: A
Return to Love
"The openness, the love! What
lively new language David Deida finds for the unsayable!"
--
Coleman Barks, author: The Essential
Being
"David Deida's vision ... has the
power to transform intimate relationships into a sublime adventure, a journey to
the farthest reaches of human experience."
-- Miranda Shaw,
Ph.D., author: Passionate Enlightenment: Women in Tantric
Buddhism
"Trust, love, what
we call sexy, who we trust in a business situation, are all based on how open we
are. Openness is bodily openness, muscular relaxation, heart openness as opposed
to hiding behind some emotional wall, and spiritual openness, which is actually
feeling so fully into the moment that there's no separation between you and the
entire moment."
-- From "Opening Spiritually and
Sexually," an audiotape by David Deida
"You need
to feel your man's trustable presence before you will open your heart and body
without guard. It's a step-by-step process of learning. He learns to be more
present, you learn to be more open."
--From "Finding
God Through Sex," a book by David Deida
"One of the
deepest feminine pleasures is when a man stands full, present, and unreactive in
the midst of his woman’s emotional storms. When he stays present with her,
and loves her through the layers of wildness and closure, then she feels his
trustability, and she can relax".
-- David
Deida
"Spiritual practice
is the capacity to offer your love even when you feel hurt, closed down, tense,
angry, misunderstood, or hated."
-- David
Deida
"One
misunderstanding is that if you do the right thing, then life's storms will
stop. If you do the right thing, the storms actually get bigger. This is because
they know they can't blow you down like they used to, and now
it's going to take a lot more energy to find out if you are conscious."
-- From "At Your Edge: Spiritual and Sexual Wisdom for Men," an audiotape by
David Deida
"As a body
in a world, here is our choice: we can be more loving or less loving. That's it.
We can relax as the entire moment's show of love's swirl, feeling open as all--a
vicious rainstorm, tweeting birds, our lover's lips, a sense of
worthlessness--or we can close to some aspect of experience, pulling away as if
we were separate."
-- From "Waiting To Love," a book
by David Deida
"Masculine anger is
always because you are feeling constrained, trapped by life. Feminine anger is
always because you are feeling unloved."
-- David
Deida
"Men who have lived
significant lives are men who never waited: not for money, security, ease, or
women."
-- David Deida
"The simplicity of
it is this: give everything you have to give in every moment,
completely."
--David Deida

The Purpose of WholeBody Wisdom is to empower and integrate all parts of yourself -- so that you can be:
Passionate,
Powerful,
Open, and
Loving
in the face of real world challenges.
WholeBody Wisdom
is based on the belief that we are the most powerful and free when we have integrated all parts of ourselves into one healthy system.
This system includes the mental body, the physical body, the
emotional body,
the intuitive body and the sexual body.
When each body is aligned with our core essence, and the bodies are
synergistically functioning together -- we can experience the greatest peace of mind
as we joyfully serve ourselves, our relationships and the world around us.
We believe that each body has valid wants, needs, desires and concerns.
These need to be, at the very least, heard and acknowledged.
Each body also has unique wisdom, strength and guidance to share with the other areas of the self. We are at our wisest when we are able to hold court listening to the interests, concerns and wisdom of each part of ourselves. Not being controlled by any one, but being advised and supported by them all.
WholeBody Wisdom offers workshops & private sessions which help men, women and couples embody powerful ways of being that can transform their life, their relationships, and the world around them.

What are the real spiritual and sexual
differences between men and women? How can we learn to use our intimate
relationships as vehicles for spiritual growth? How can we deepen our sexual
loving so that it becomes a divine sacrament of ecstasy? How can we use the
inevitable difficulties that come up in intimacy as potent catalysts for ever
greater heart-communion?
