Frank Dunn and Michael Kerosky lead May's edition of Jonathan's Circle Online exploring the role of ritual as a tool and path for integrating sex and spirit. On the simplest level, ritual is a habit--a repeated action that lends structure to life, such as brushing teeth or the morning cup of coffee. On a more advanced level, rituals are enacted stories, dramatic presentations of memories, desires, needs, challenges—the Passover Seder, a rain dance, a harvest festival, a New Zealand haka. Regularly repeated sexual experiences often take the form of rituals, perhaps only partly consciously. We'll look at how ritual actions appealing to our bodily senses can greatly enhance sexual pleasure. We'll visit the way that formal rituals often carry erotic themes under the surface.
• Learn and share what rituals you and others find meaningful
• Garner some fresh ideas for enriching life through honoring the sacred in sexual expression
• Consider how rituals can unlock erotic energy.
We hope you’ll be with us.

Retreats
StoneSong 2019
July 10-14, 2019, take your place in a fellowship of erotically awakened, spiritually aware, open-hearted men. Together we'll celebrate the presence of the Sacred in our bodies and honor the desires that spring from the depths of our souls. We'll affirm our place in Creation amidst the natural beauty of western Maryland's rolling hills.
Awaken your body and spirit every morning with gentle movement and meditation. Speak and listen from the heart as we gather in sharing circles. Work together for an hour every afternoon caring for the forested land on which we gather. Find joy, generosity, and healing in mindful, respectfully structured erotic experiences with your fellow travellers.
Add an extra day (Sunday afternoon, July 14, through midday Monday, July 15) and go even deeper into the experience of connecting sex and spirit.
StoneSong Nature and Awareness Center is situated outside Flintstone, Maryland, about two hours west of the District of Columbia.
