Namaste all,
I attended the SPE in Banff March 21-23, 2008.
It was wonderful.
I am living currently in the Millcreek Ravine area of Edmonton and would prefer to stay around Old Strathcona although any roof is better than no roof.

Please contact me ASAP if you have a space for me.
Thank you lovingly.
Peace.

Hello Goddesses and Warrior Men!

I just wanted to pop on and say "Hi". I am coming to play at the full SPE in Banff next weekend! I really can't wait! I did this course 2 years ago, and it was a blast. Lots of stuff came up for me, and I pushed through it with the support of the other participants and the staff that were there! It will be different being a participant instead of a volunteer staff!
Hugs and love to you all! See you soon!
Aime

If you're able/willing to give me a ride to SPE in Banff Mar 21-23 PLEASE CALL: 450-4826
OR EMAIL: ladydjinn@hotmail.com

HI! Could anyone out there give me a lift to the SPE in Banff this coming March 21-23?
I\'m in the Millcreek-Ravine area of Edmonton.
This will be my first warrior-sage retreat!
Thank you! :)

Hi...

My mother and I are traveling from LA to Vancouver and will be assisting at the SPE intro on March 18th. We were looking for a place to stay Mon. 3/17 and Tues 3/18. If anyone has an extra room or couch for us, that would be fabulous!

HELP! I want to know when and where the next 3-day intensives are happening. I don't have a current schedule and I can't seem to figure it out on the website. I do have the dates for the intros.
love and freedom to you all!

Thank you Satyen, Suzanne, the staff, volunteers and all those with whom I shared experiences, for a wonderful SPE weekend.

Over the years, I have attended the trainings of many other organizations. Their trainings were good, the people supportive and their message inspiring, but none can compare to WarriorSage.

The delineation of the masculine and feminine and third stage living spoke to me the first time I attended an introduction presentation in September 2006. I could see the positive ramifications these ideas could have on my life and the world as a whole. I got very excited and signed up for a SPE workshop.

I spent most of my childhood after age six living in the country with only my two younger siblings and farm animals as playmates. We also moved around a lot so any friends I made in school were lost by the next school year. I learned to keep to myself and to be self sufficient. Add to that a family atmosphere that tended to be cool and aloof.

At the beginning of this weekend I felt stiff and somewhat isolated, yearning inside for deeper connection with myself and others. The over the top, at least for me, experiences with others was vital to helping me let go and find myself again. The key component to the effectiveness of the activities was the great trust I had in Satyen and Suzanne. Their conscious attention to detail and vast knowledge of the material allowed me to feel held and safe in their instruction.

Thank you “One” for sharing with me our final experience on Sunday. Your commitment to being fully present with me during the activity allowed me to trust you and go to so many places in myself that had been blocked and closed off. I admire your courage to fully participate and make it real for both of us. I now regret not having raised my hand the first day when Satyen asked, “Is there anyone who would like to date this man.” I wanted to raise my hand, but hesitated and lost the opportunity.

And finally, thank you to Satyen and Suzanne for dedicating your life to this work and being willing to push us to a greater place in ourselves. My world is more beautiful because of the two of you and your vision.

Thank you all, I can breathe again.

“Nurse Sodna Nipples” – The name is growing on me. He,he,he.

It was an amazing weekend had by all. I was able to connect to my masculine, something i had not went into deeply before, but was able to really root myself into after this experience, i feel as if i am able to really be a man, and i am able to express that now. and to see the goddesses that were there was incredible! I don't think i have ever seen a woman radiate such as i did this past weekend. and in that i was able to find another purpose, not to mention the much deeper purpose that i encounter during the event. To all the men there , thank you from the depth of my being. To all the goddesses there, thank you for showing me how to live from my deeper masculine core, its a gift that i will now share with the world!!! If anybody would like to share any insights, you can contact me at
dave.agnew1@comcast.net, i would love to talk to anybody about the experience. THANK YOU STAFF!!!!!

Sondra - I was very inspired by your sharing about how dancing daily has opened up your heart and your love-light. Thank you for taking the time to share!!

with devotion

Thanks Ezra, you're amazing!

And hope we see you this Saturday in LA Oriya!!

The next free 4hr intro to Sex Passion and Enlightenment in Los Angeles is May 19th. The next full three day SPE in Los Angeles I believe is July 6, 7, and 8th.

Can you tell me when your next Sex passion workshop is?

I've never REALLY danced before. I mean I've gotten up a few times, I danced at my wedding, but then it was just fun exercize.

Since I started exploring my feminine energy, I was experiencing a lot of fear. I asked for some guidence on how to overcome this from WarriorSage. I was told to dance outward every morning for three songs. To celebrate my glorious body while dancing for the world, for the divine.

I just finished my 5th morning of dancing. I had to come and share. Never in my life have I felt so beautiful, so full of life, of everything. And any fear that came up was just swept away in the celebration of the divine, the goddess that was me. It was incredible!

It's only been 5 mornings! just 5 and I'm experiencing such wonder and celebration! It's something I want to carry with me into my day. I'm going to keep dancing :) Thanks for being here to listen.

I saw the divine, the passion, the love in a woman I had never met before, I've set her free from that experience. I honor her, she took me to a deeper place than I have ever been. I honor all the Goddesses and Men who made this such a transformation for me, I'm still vibrating.

Wow! So, took the s,p,& e weekend right before Valentines. I've begun to set all the guys in my life free and take what they've given me as the gifts from the divine... was really high the day afterwards, and I needed to study for midterms. Asked a girl friend how I should study... she told me to approach my studies as my lover... beautiful!

Tracey, you and I shared a wonderful experience. Unable to connect afterwards; perhaps we can now.

Sent you an email... hope I had the right addy. I am sure we will be able to find one another eventually there... I'd love to be able to meet up with you!

Jenna:

You are welcome! And as for the New Years Gala, you are in for a treat! Who is the friend that invited you, if you don't mind my asking -- I may know him or her. : ) I usually staff the Vancouver BC SPEs and have been involved in leading the Intros.

Look forward to meeting you at the Gala - if we can find one another!

Cheers!
Deborah

Hello Deborah... Thank you so much for the reply. I look forward to the Gala, don't know what to expect there either - but I'm all about just going with the flow and having fun, and I have been looking forward to it since my friend offered the trip to another mutual friend of ours and myself over a month ago. Can't wait!

I appreciate the info on the intro workshop... I hope we can chat further on it perhaps this weekend. I believe we will be arriving on Sun, as early as we can manage to get up there... Thank you again.

With warmth and gratitued

Jenna

Hi Jenna!

The SP&E event in Seattle in February (on the 24th, right?) that you mention is, I believe, a one day, free introductory workshop. The introductorh workshops are designed for people (singles, couples, men, women, parents, younger, older, etc.) to get a feel for the foundational courses offered by WarriorSage (Sex, Passion & Enlightenment and the Illumination Intensive) and for the enterprise's offerings as a whole. During the day there will be some content and discussion type portions and there will be actual basic practices that you will do, some with the whole group and some with men and women separately. The Intro will be fun, informative and very practical.

Keep in mind that many -- not all but the majority -- of the posts you read on the Forums are regarding people's experiences in the full weekend intensives.

Doing this work while you are single is just perfect! As a result of the practices you learn in the full weekend intensive (SPE and the Illumination Intensive) you will begin to emanate yourself, your heart and your depth more fully and clearly in the world and thus, attract to you someone who meets that depth. Its a beautiful thing!

At the New Years Gala you will get to feel the community that has been created from people participating in these programs and you will get to celebrate the entry into 2007 in a very deep, playful and profound way.

Perhaps I will meet you there!

Hope this helped a little. . . : )

with devotion
Deborah

Greetings,

I am thinking of attending an upcoming SP&E event in Seattle in Feb... but I am single, and after reading many forum posts, I am very curious as to what I can expect there... I am interested, but also I have a feeling of apprehension about it as well.

I plan on being at the New Year's Gala, and perhaps I'll have a better feel for the group then - is there anyone that is attending the Gala that may be able to enlighten me further with some more information as to what I could expect at this workshop? Thanks and I look forward to meeting many new people...

Sincerely,

Jenna

Hello, lovely sisters ~

I realized that what I was looking for was permission to walk away. Outside approval for what my heart told me would be the right response in life.

I am not in a relationship at this time, and I'm not at all sure I am even ready for one yet. So there is no man for me to practice on in that intimate way. What I can practice, what I need to learn, is how to care for myself. Too often, I have not listened to my inner wisdom, have not removed myself from situations that didn't work for me. Time to practice!!!! Yay!

I can't wait until the 11th, when I can be with my wonderful sisters in spiritual practice. And chocolate.

love, love, love!
Roxanne

Roxanne:

Keep in mind that my response was somewhat focused on the instance of practice in the course. If you were faced with a creepy guy who was being, well, creepy, and you need to walk away, then you walk away. If the other in question is your lover with whom, in the third stage you have a commitment to serve open to God, then your options take on a different tone. What would serve Love and his opening to God in that moment? A heart connected slap? A moan of pain or retching in disgust? A sultry reminder of who he *really* is?

Keep in mind also that remaining open does not mean letting someone hurt or defile you. You can be angry and open, you can turn around and leave and still be open. Practicing Openness means you are practicing to keep your heart open to another's heart and acting from that place. When you act from love (aka openness/oneness) your actions is always "right."

Definitely no "shoulds" coming from my camp darlin'. : ) Ultimately there is only one's choice made as much as possible in line w/our commitments/intentions (to serve, to magnify love, etc.).

Hope that makes sense. You are right about the typing thing - w/o the conversational aspect -- let alone WRITING -- it is challenging to convey our hearts.

Remember we are all learning a new language of love and in some cases, inventing it along the way. : )

With deep love and gratitude
Deborah

Corinne -- I LOVE the Navajo saying - that is perfect and beautiful!

Dear Roxanne,

First, I want to say that Deborah's response was so fluent and inspiring... I feel like I have moved to a foreign country, and though I understand the language, I do not yet speak it. I am excited for all the learning ahead. To have my spiritual tongue, so to speak, become more and more accustomed to the newness of this third stage language, that is already in my heart, waiting to be spoken.

I am not into "should" in any way, shape or form. I'm sorry if I sent the message for you to stay anywhere you are uncomfortable. I, too, am learning to take care of myself so that I am not lingering in situations that are not honouring.

That is not to say that once I am gone and away from what stimulated me, that I won't seek to surrender to that place where I do find the compassion for the Other's highest self, recognize the ego's mask and re-open my heart. Become more and more mindful of the kinds of things that trigger me to close down, see each presentation of them as a gift being offered to me to push past my boundaries to limitless love. I think one of the ultimate outcomes of enlightenment would be to sit in the face of what might present as horror or disgust and remain calm, receptive, connected to the oneness. I am not there, but I aspire to be.

It's my sense, for myself, at this stage in the process (new to WarriorSage), that opening COULD sometimes mean leaving. Instead of reacting and shutting down, remaining open, responding to the situation with an open heart and excusing myself. On the other hand, I think back to the Peaceful Warrior movie (I don't know if you saw it) where they are being mugged and I question my sense of this.

There are many lessons on the path ahead for both of us. The main thing I wanted to impart to you was to not give your power away to the situation by choosing to let it taint the entire weekend, when really I see it was truly a gift - the learnings from which you could not have had otherwise. Satyen himself said the person we will grow best with will not be the one with whom we see God together as a 10 all the time, but the one who pushes our buttons and compels us to face the gritty parts we so deftly avoid. Not that this partner is in ANY way The One, but that perhaps the opening you will do as a result of this experience WILL in fact be "deeper" than if you had had a partner with a certain comfort level. And you have not in fact, been cheated out of anything.

There's a Navaho saying I like: Bless those who challenge us to grow, to stretch, to move beyond the
knowable, to come back home to our elemental and essential nature. Bless those who challenge us for they remind us of doors we have closed and doors
we have yet to open.

Your partner of questionable intent presented an opportunity for you to either choose to see yourself as you projected he saw you or to transcend that and see both your own true nature and his. It's not a matter of "should" but "could" - possibilities for growth and transformation are everywhere. The question is: will I answer the call? Is my true self bigger than this moment and any disguise this person's ego is offering?

Blessings to you, and to Deborah.

love, Corinne

I want to express the love I felt for the Goddesses who filled the room with such passionate femine energy this weekend in Banff. What inspiration for me to express the full Goddesss within. A precious gift I will cherish. I was so into the femine I couldn't even properly remember my email address that I gave to several of the Goddesses. My heart is with you even if email contact has been lost. Hugs...

My lovely sisters, Deborah and Corrine ~

Thank you so much for your wisdom, and for your desire to help me grow. I will read your responses over several times, as there is a LOT there to integrate and to practice.

I know you're not saying this, but what I keep hearing and thinking I'm being told is that not only CAN I open in love to anOther when the interaction feels yucky to me, but that I should. I believe that in real life, in those sorts of interactions, the best thing that I can do is to remove myself from the situation. I chose not to do that in Practice, but if I were anywhere else, I would have excused myself.

On the one hand, I'm being told to practice feminine modesty and to not make eye contact with a man who is less than a spiritual warrior and not to give my time to anyone who is less than a 7 on my personal scale, but on the other hand, you're saying open in any circumstance. And I'm confused by this.

AND I recognize that this is a conversation best had in real time, rather than typing. It is so hard to explain myself... sigh.

but if you have obvious thoughts on the matter, I would love to hear them. And I look forward to seeing you at our next Goddess Gathering, sweet Deborah.

love,
Roxanne

Bradley (Los Angeles):
Find a way to go to the SPE. The only thing you might regret is that you didn't go sooner! It is far beyond anything I have experienced before. Go for it!
