Below is an abbreviated version of the WholeBody Empowerment Community Vision, Mission, Standards and Values that we'll be practicing at this event.
If you come join us in our WholeBody Wisdom Empowerment Community you'll experience:
The opportunity to be playfully serious and seriously playful.
Aliveness, Freedom and Power.
A sanctuary from the outside world.
An expansion of your ability to be open, loving and powerful in the face of real world challenges.
A place to practice powerfully sharing all of your emotions: from fear, sadness and anger -- to joy, excitement and bliss.
A place where touch and sensuality can be evoked.
A space where you can be both nurtured -- and lovingly called on your stuff.
An invitation to be all of yourself. To share and explore your:
o Greatness -- as well as your Challenges and Limitations;
o Intelligence -- and your Intuition;
o Body -- and your Spirit;
o Sexuality -- and your Heart.
To surround ourselves with open, embodied, adventurous friends -- that are committed to having fun while transforming themselves and thereby the world around them. We create juicy community events that empower us to express and integrate all parts of ourselves.

CONSCIOUS EVALUATION VERSUS JUDGING
"The AcroPlay class was completely amazing for me...I left feeling glowy, both physically and mentally.
"I think working with different partners put me out of my comfort zone at first, but in a positive/challenging way. I would describe the class as a full-on workout for body, mind and spirit.
"Following the class, I felt completely grounded and relaxed, all the tension I'd been harboring had been released in an amazing rush.
"I have already started recommending
this class to my friends and hope that more classes will be offered in the new
year. Let me conclude with a big THANK YOU for making this experience
possible."
Meredith Klein, College
Student
"I liked that I could go up to my edge and engage there, but it didn't tweak me past my comfort zone to the point where I shut down. I liked the humor and the friendly atmosphere.
"The AcroPlay workshop related EXTREMELY well to the rest of my life, particularly in the area of relationships with men. In part due to the support of the workshop, I was able to hold my own container with a male friend in a way I am usually not able to do, and it was good. So thanks!
"I thought you all did a great job of
working with charged material -- trust, safety, sexuality -- in a warm and
respectful and light and safe way."
Alison Luterman, writer and
teacher
"I enjoyed the psychological aspect of the class. The challenge of taking risks, and being supported in a loving environment.
"I enjoyed doing things differently - ie: I usually choose people, but I let people choose me. It was rewarding and satisfying.
"I learned that I miss having the kind of contact that occurred. ie: eye contact, focus on other beings, hugs, gentle touching, etc. I feel more open and willing to make more intimate contacts.
"I experienced pleasure in the contact I received, the warm welcome, and invitation to do what felt right to me.
"I was left feeling exhilarated and relaxed. And I was impressed with the attitudes & openness of the teachers and assistants, as well as the participants.
"I would describe the class as challenging, provocative, and mindful.
"I was able to notice my edges with trust.
"It was interesting and delightful to see men participating in such an intimate experience.
"Scott was clear with his explanations, and made the demos look like so much fun. The different experiences were interesting and well organized.
"Todd, the co-teacher... he was very
sweet, vulnerable, mindful, and caring. I enjoyed working with him. I felt safe,
that he was listening to my concerns, such as hurting myself as a base. He was a
great flyer in the demos. Really creating an environment for exploration and
fun. As a part of our threesome, he joined in as a student, rather than a
teacher, and was amazing in his ability to be present. His attitude enabled
me to be available to expose my vulnerabilities, also."
Roxanne Fuller, Psychotherapist
"I left happy and feeling super empowered. Balancing/flying Scott and being flown backwards by Scott were two incredible experiences that I would repeat again in a heartbeat.
"It was all new and exciting, but the only way to describe how I felt would be to say that I am envious of myself at those moments, haha! If I hadn't been the one doing them, I would have been watching and wondering if I could and wishing I could be the one trying, so thank you for those exceptional experiences!
"I didn't understand how the switching partners would occur but I had read someone's comment about that before class and it worked well because like Scott explained, it provided opportunity to feel out other people, get a feeling for myself.
"The evening was Invigorating, engaging, interactive, and I enjoyed getting into flying right away. I like getting dirty and trying new things. Definitely a safe environment for that.
"I liked everything about the event. It was an overall good, positive experience. I felt comfortable, and not so shy or nervous. I loved it!
"The instructors were all very friendly and helpful, good role models :)
"I was excited to come to the class and thought it would be a lot of fun. It exceeded my expectations. It was the most positive of all my recent positive fun movement-oriented class experiences. It did not feel like 2 hours at all.
"I had a fabulous time and I can't
wait for the next class. I wish I knew more people to invite! Thank you
Scott!"

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.
