Tantra Goddess Empowerment w/ Allen McPhee - May 13, Playa Azul, Western Puerto Rico


Embrace the goddess within!
Abraza la diosa dentro de ti! 

 

Every woman has a hidden side that she keeps for that special ‘someone.’ Sometimes, however, that part of her is hidden for so long that it is impossible to reveal. Join Allen as he reaches into your heart to bring out the goddess in you. A Tantra Goddess embraces her sexuality, without shame or compromise. She controls her destiny even while engaged in relationships. She treats her body as a temple; that is, one deserving of respect and worship. Join Allen for an exploration of divine femininity. Let yourself go where your heart has longed to go.

Exciting, great discussions, transformative, loving environment, and empowering techniques describe this workshop best. Singles, those in committed relationships, experienced practitioners, and even women who are clueless about Tantra will enjoy themselves and transform as a result of their participation in this carefully designed workshop.

 


This event is generously offered at no cost for women in Western Puerto Rico with a desire to discover the goddess within.  Don't miss this opportunity to be introduced to Tantra in our region!  Space is limited, so please call in early to confirm your attendance!

2 of 7 - A Life of Science: Lynn Margulis Opens the Gaian Era

Dear Earthlings:

two more snapshots from the Lynn Margulis conference this week.  How many angles to Gaia theory!  Each discipline has something to gain from it.  Each discourse can integrate it beneficially. 




Bruce Clarke, professor of English at Texas Tech, claims he became convinced of Gaia theory when he figured that "Gaia is a metabiotic system," not an organism in the conventional sense.  "Gaia theory" he concludes, "is Systems Theory."  That's how the new scientific paradigm gets integrated in new fields of study in the humanities.



Mary Catherine Bateson speaks of influences.  Which direction?  Paradigm shift happens when a person responds to the age based on what the age demands.  So influences go in both directions.  Collaboration vs competition.  There is a cultural need to value collaboration.  Science can use collaboration to account for what isn't explained by competition.  The influence goes from a cultural to a natural dimension, and vice versa.  Interpretations is what science and culture are made of.  As a listener, yours truly notices what an admirable group of people has gathered to celebrate Lynn Margulis.  Gregory Bateson and Margaret Mead, in Mary Catherine's family, are two of the most remarkable American thinkers! 

Dear Earthlings:

Education is the heart of democracy.  And that includes education to love.  It comes in many forms.  Including learning about Lynn Margulis, the role of collaboration in evolution, and Gaia theory. 

Did you enjoy the post?  Let us know!  Yours truly appreciates your attention.  The comments box is open.

Come back!  And stay tuned for more wonders.

Namaste,

Press Release: Senior UPRM Faculty Awarded Humanities Fellowship at U Conn, 2012-13

Press Release: Senior UPRM Faculty Awarded Humanities Fellowship at U Conn, 2012-13
Contact: Serena Anderlini, 787 538 1680

Dear Office of the Press:

It is a pleasure to release the news that the University of Connecticut notified me this week of the offer of a research award of major significance in the humanities, a one-year Fellowship at the University of Connecticut Humanities Institute, UCHI.  The Institute is one of the few of its kind in the US system, with fellowship awards comparable to the National Humanities Center in North Carolina and the Guggenheim Foundation in New York City. 

Here is the project's basic information: 


Title: Amorous Visions: Fluid Sexual Moments in Italian Cinema

Anna and Giulia in The Conformist, 1970
Summary: This study articulates a new interpretation of pivotal scenes in selected classics of Italian cinema based on the cultural constructs of “amorous inclusiveness” and “sexual fluidity” elaborated in recent cultural analyses of human sexual, erotic, and amorous behavior (Ryan and Jetha 2010, Diamond 2009). These classics include Pasolini’s Teorema (1968), where a mysterious guest awakens the erotic libido of all members in a nuclear family, and Bertolucci's The Conformist (1970), where a charming hostess similarly awakens both members of a newlywed couple. Based on these new interpretive paradigms, these scenes acquire a new meaning that discloses the bisexual and polyamorous content therein. This enables more positive and complete understandings of the films as projects that artistically express love for love, or erotophilia. As an experienced scholar who charted new research fields that study love as the art of crossing beyond sexual divides and exclusivity (BiTopia, 2011), I am uniquely prepared to articulate these interpretations.

I am a senior faculty in the Department of Humanities with many research achievements to my credit, including books that have received prizes and charted new fields of knowledge.  I recognize UPRM as an institution where the originality of my research has been honored and nurtured.  This external funding award is a deserved reward for the many years of internal funding from which my works have benefited. 

I imagine you'd like to publicize the happy news in a online piece.  That would be wonderful!  I'd be happy to send more information and am available to interview.  Please feel free to contact me.  I look forward to hearing from you.  Please let me know if I can answer any questions. 

Namaste,

Namaste,

1 of 7 - A Life of Science: Lynn Margulis Opens the Gaian Era

Dear Earthlings:

"A three-day symposium, "Celebrating a Life of Science: In Memory of Lynn Margulis," was held [on] March 23-25th, at the University of Massachusetts, where Margulis taught evolutionary science for decades," opens Victoria N. Alexander on Digital Journal.

Yours truly was blessed with being present at this momentous gathering of the minds.  From microscope to telescope, from cell to cosmos, Gaia is the overarching theory of the new era.  Lynn Margulis celebrated for ushering the new wisdom.  

Yours truly is happy to share snapshots of the speakers, with brief comments about their significance.



Jennifer Margulis shares about her mother's birth in a hospital, something new in 1938, and of her suffering episiotomies at giving birth to her first three kids.  It is now known that these genital cuts help physicians more than babies or women.  Lynn studied the problem, and when Jennifer came along, she refused.  The doctor approached scissors in had, and she got up from the delivery bed to stop him from using them.  Thank you Lynn!  The episiotomy I suffered ruined my sexual life for ten years and kept me from wanting more kinds.  Somebody had to start.  Thanks to you, Lynn, now many women can choose water and squatting positions when giving birth to a baby. 




William Irwin Thompson, of Lindisfarne, speaks of the cultural implications of Lynn Margulis's science of symbiosis: collaboration is the overarching narrative of evolution, competition is a footnote.  He's a independent philosopher known for his intuitive thinking.  Here are the big questions: What does this mean for us humans?  Are we going to go along with "nature" or insist on being different?  


Dear Earthlings:

Education is the heart of democracy.  And that includes education to love.  It comes in many forms.  Including learning about Lynn Margulis, the role of collaboration in evolution, and Gaia theory. 

Did you enjoy the post?  Let us know!  Yours truly appreciates your attention.  The comments box is open.

Come back!  And stay tuned for more wonders.

Namaste,
