Welcome
to my playground to explore the Fine Art of Sacred Flirtation. My philosophy of
flirtation has been honed over my last 30 years on this planet, and I am so
excited to share it with you! This philosophy was inspired many years ago by a
very wise friend of mine who said that true Flirtation was the "Art of
Attention, without Intention." In other words, if you have intent, or an
ulterior motive in interacting with someone... (such as to get into their
pants), then that is the art of Seduction, not Flirtation. This is a very
different game, with a different set of rules and it carries a very different
energy. In seduction, the attachment to outcome frequently leaves words and
gestures feeling empty and devoid of caring. When someone is playing the game
of Seduction, they will often withdraw their attention the minute they realize
that the object of their desire is not interested, so that they can find a new
target who might be more likely to say yes. This sudden abandonment can be
jarring and uncomfortable. No wonder the singles scene often makes people feel
more disconnected and alone, rather than bringing people together.
I
advocate for a different approach: one of Connection, and about personal
Presence. What if your flirtatious interactions could be about the Other, and
not about yourself? What if you could approach another beautiful human soul
from the place of really being dropped in and present with them... in your
Heart instead of your Head? How much more fulfilling would it be to care more
about making the other person feel wonderful than about what you might get from
the interaction? What if you could just be fully present in the moment, and
experience deep connection with another being without being in your head,
thinking about how to appear witty, or what you could say next? To be present
with your partner, your friend, or your new acquaintance in the Now, rather
than in your head or on a device?
How
will this change the quality of all your relationships if you can come into
every conversation from this heart space? This is the embodiment that I want to
explore with you though this magical evening of play, using experiential
activities and connection exercises infused with Tantra, as well as some
Kundalini Yoga exercises led by Amelia Windriver to get us into our bodies.
