Live with Intention Potluck Dinner Series
Dinner Chocolate and Sex Life-Force Energy: Sensual Health and Sexuality
Thursday May 6th 2010 5:30 PM
Evelyn Resh, certified sexuality counselor with The American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists. Ms. Resh was the Director of Sexual Health Services and Programming for Canyon Ranch Health Resorts for 10 years. In her role as director, she created and implemented programming focusing on the integration of sensuality into daily living as well as the improvement of sexual satisfaction for individuals and couples of all sexual orientations. Ms. Resh will be moving in to her new role as the expert in residence on Sexual Health and Relationships for Miraval Spa, Tucson, AZ. 2010.
Evelyn says: "Our libido depends on an alert and fully engaged sensual life. Even in the company of great love, each of us is responsible for maintaining our sexual health through regular engagement in pleasurable experiences that engage our senses. All 6 of our senses-sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and intuition-need regular attention and activation. Reverence of the pleasures of the senses, not matrimonial or relational obligation, must lead the way for each of us to access the life-force energy we call libido.
The more detached we become from life's pleasures and focus our efforts on productivity, the more fatigue and sensual atrophy we will experience. And with that, our libidinal energy will plummet leaving us marooned in the land of "No": no time, no energy, no opportunity, no sex."
"Evelyn Resh is a gift! Outstanding Lecturer. Amazing human being. Clone her, please!"
Join us for our POTLUCK DINNER with Evelyn! Chocolate Dessert and SEX Talk!
Reservations Required. Register in store or ONLINE. $5.00. Bring a Dish to Share. Limited Seating.

Some of What Our Customers Have to Say
"I attended a Grief Workshop weekend last year. I lost my son four years ago. It was extremely helpful and made me feel hopeful for my future. Our accommodations next door at the Best Western Inn were fabulous. I met some wonderful supportive staff and I felt welcomed and loved throughout the entire experience."
~ Penelope, Dupont Delaware

~Bruce and Marge, Flint Michigan
"I attended a celtic harp and harp therapy class. I actually touched a harp and learned to play a chord. Christina Tourin was so magical and her playing so heavenly that I want to become a harp therapist now."
~Sally (former staff member), Rutland Vermont
"I drove from Connecticut to shop with my girlfriends and we happened to stop here. It was so wonderful that we signed up for a weekend of workshops. We met very compassionate people at the workshops. It was so comfortable in the large and spacious classroom. The staff made it very special and served cookies and tea. We shopped and had all our books autographed and spent time talking with Peter Calhoun and his lovely partner. We will definitely sign up for many more events."
~Linda, Farmington Connecticut
"I could go to Kripalu or Omega Institute but I love coming to Peace of Mind Emporium because the classes are much smaller, the building and store is so fantastic,and staying at the Best Western next door is far more inexpensive all the way around."
