November 5, 2024 - Taking Care of Ourselves

The November 2024 election has left a lot of us shaken, angry, and afraid. And to quote my mentor, activist Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum, “Don’t worry, it’s going to get worse.”

Let’s talk about it. Let’s touch about it. 

Whatever your gender, orientation, age, or faith, I urge you to activate your unique capacities for passion and compassion. Now is not the time to make ourselves small or retreat from our sacred Queer selves. We cannot let this global epidemic of fear-driven politics scare us out of our minds or our skins. 

If you are feeling afraid or intimidated, Queer Spiritual Counseling and Coaching can provide a pathway to confidence. At this moment in history, every person needs to be ready with answers to basic questions: “What are my commitments in this world?” “What do I stand for?” “What do I bring to the movement for justice?” “What are my strengths?” “What do I need to learn?” With self-knowledge we can break our habits of denial. By appreciating the Divinity of our own nature, we become ready to resist tyranny and oppression. 

Erotic Bodywork and Sacred Intimacy can help us feel pride in ourselves as we feel the heat of the Divine sparks within us. The forces of oppression use strategies of shame and fear to make us retreat. They want us so afraid that we abandon our own erotic truth. They want us to be ashamed of our own desires. They want us demoralized and depressed and resigned. Your ability to stay 3-dimensional, human, and juicy, makes you resilient, compassionate, and joyful. Your erotic joy can be your superpower.
