SACRED SEXUALITY WORKSHOP FEEDBACK

There are a number of changes that have occurred for me and through me during and since the workshop. The love I feel is exhilarating. I am seeing my body as being very beautiful. I stopped judging my imperfections and see myself for the beautiful child of God that I am. Through the many exercises during the workshop, I was able to connect with my body in a way I had never done before. Now I am constantly feeling my whole body, and it's great-there is no numbness, just pure loving energy! I also released many of my issues of shame-shame of my body, of who I am. I also learned that each loving moment is perfect in itself and that intimacy does not have to progress to sex. For me, this is liberating and beautiful.

It was such a blessing to join in playfulness and reverence for God with the shared intent of remembering who we really are. In addition, there is an even increased comfort with my body. However, perhaps the biggest eye-opener for me during the workshop was facing my beliefs about love. I realized I was still holding some negative attitudes about how love manifests. Today I affirm that love is God's indelible creation, love is who I am and all of us are.
-Carol, TX

The workshop was amazing. The incredible healings that occurred for me still continue to astound me. The workshop was amazing. I was impressed by how aware and conscious Michael remained towards everyone's needs. There was a point in the workshop where I thought, “This must have been what it was like in the Garden of Eden” and I felt like a child playing in that garden.
-Ron, ONT

My expectations were not even close to what I experienced at the workshop. Every man on the planet should take this workshop.
-Jason, AL

I learned freedom and self-love and to experience my body in a safe and loving manner. I enjoyed bonding with women and experiencing a sense of spiritual sisterhood. I feel so alive and beautiful.
-Traci, AK

I love owning my sexual energy and knowing that I am the one who chooses how far to take it. I feel the afterglow and ecstasy with God. A friend of mine asked me if I would allow my own adult children to experience this sacred sexuality workshop and the answer is YES!
-Janice, FL

It was incredible to release the cellular memories of abuse and refill it with light. It was a sacred space-like the Garden of Eden.
-Dottie, AL

Of all the workshops I have ever attended or participated in, this is by far the most life altering I have ever experienced. It demonstrated the incredible connection to Spirit we all have within us. I was overwhelmed with the depth and authenticity of the people and consider it such a gift from above. Words like authentic, spiritual, delicious, integrity, sensual, playful, amazing, sacred, and powerful all seem to be not enough to bring forth the essence of this workshop. I enjoyed working with and discovering the tumescence energy and being able to evoke it in others was, in itself, worth the five days. I have been fascinated by energy work and studying it for years and in one short demonstration it all came together for me! The after effects for me include this constant humming sound of contentment and I have a heightened sense of awareness of everything that I come across-more intense taste-all food tastes fantastic, smells are enticing...touching items and really feeling the texture...and the vibration that everything has.
-Dawn, AK

The Sacred Sexuality workshop was the best investment, and gift, that I have ever given to myself. All I know is I have to say thank you so very much for having the workshop, and for the timing of it. I am still on cloud 9 (the Afterglow), and I am doing my best not to let it end. As I am writing this, and thinking about the loving energy of all who attended, tears of joy and love are beginning to seep from my tear ducts. Just saying thank you cannot even begin to express how grateful I am to God for bringing such a wonderful group of people together, and to you Michael for allowing God to work through you, to help us reconnect with ourselves and others through unconditional love. The weekend workshop was an eye opening experience for me in many ways. I learned that in letting go of judgments and fears we can reach a state of intoxicating euphoria that I could not fathom ever existed. I learned that allowing oneself, to receive unconditional love is just as wonderful (possibly even more), than giving. People are seeing the glow as well, and smiling wherever I go.
-Carmen, IL

Attending the Sacred Sexuality workshop taught me to accept all my feelings about sexuality without judgment and to understand myself and others with more love, compassion, and sensitivity. I learned to integrate God with my sexuality. The workshop challenged my old opinions and beliefs and showed me how much they influenced my life. But I am now more open and clear about what I want within my own boundaries and am open to learn and stretch. I feel clearer about my sexuality and that my heart, and mind are all positively affected together, as this life-force flows through me. I feel powerful knowing that I get to choose how I express and experience my sexuality-which is now sacred.
-Jackie, WA

I don't know where to start! I am now capable of being comfortable around a man. I also learned that my own body and sexual anatomy are beautiful. My trust and safety have grown to a great extent. I feel so incredibly happy and sometimes feel like a little girl-so happy to be alive and very, very happy with who I am. I find myself jumping around, dancing naked, and loving my body. Other times I feel much more mature and understanding myself at a deeper level. I feel grounded and free. Even my relationship with others are great, as if they understand where I am right now. It's as if by accepting myself, other people in my life are doing the same. It feels like in this workshop I worked in so many areas of myself-not not only physical, but emotional, mental, and spiritual. I feel free to "feel" my body. I feel like exploring it and I really like what I have been finding!
-J B, Mexico

I learned to take care of myself in emotional and sexual situations and reached new levels of passion. I experienced a connection to the female aspect within men. I also feel a deeper sense of physical and emotional aliveness and a greater abundance of ecstatic energy.
-Claudia, TX

Wow...total yummy! Today I find myself still basking in the afterglow of the Sacred Sexuality Workshop. My body feels vibrantly alive and everything around me I see with new eyes - the beauty - the colors. When I left last week it was raining, gray and dark...when I returned home the sun was shinning with blue skies and the blossoms out the trees are coming out. I am amazed how my energy shifts are seeming to accelerate...A quickening of a sort. I learned to feel more freedom and acceptance with my body. The ecstatic energy exercises were amazing and magical. It was also fun to play knowing there were no expectations or agendas.
-Leah, BC

I watched myself go from timid, apprehensive, closed-in-on-myself me to someone who began to relax in the moment and in the safe loving environment that Michael Mirdad created so masterfully. For the space of 5 intensive days, we were a little community of loving friends sharing and laughing and learning. It was great fun, easy-with the facilitator's sensitive and watchful presence-to face lingering fears and demolish them, and it was unbelievably informative on a practical level. It was utterly safe and nurturing, and most of all, it was liberating for my whole body, mind, and soul. I surprised myself, and consciously began to embrace and love different aspects of myself that I had been shunning, and that is what I want from my growth process. I feel strongly that this workshop was very much the creation of a gifted teacher, who led us to expand and embrace our sense of self so lovingly.

The Sacred Sexuality workshop for me was an invitation to go beyond my comfort zone and experience freedom like I've never felt before. I faced a deep fear...of allowing myself to be totally and completely vulnerable...and not only did I survive, but I also felt a sense of love and acceptance that is hard to put into words. I know that I am going to be approaching love and relationships differently as a result...honoring my body, honoring my integrity...and honoring the God essence within another individual first.
-Sandy, MA

The Sacred Sexuality workshop is a journey within; it opens my mind and my being to connection and oneness with others. It is a place of safety, learning, and playfulness, bringing together souls of spiritual nature and an awareness of the magic in all of us. Michael taught us how to honor one another and, most of all, ourselves.
-Diana, FL

Thank you Michael for an excellent workshop. Once again you created an atmosphere where I could feel safe and loved. There were many favorite parts: being massaged and dancing and interacting with each other in a playfully safe way.
-Gregg, FL

I loved attending the Sacred Sexuality Workshop. My favorite part was the playfulness and laughter. After the inhibition was gone, the true, sincere joy and fun came flowing out. Sensuality is such an important part of my life and being in an environment where there is full acceptance and encouragement of it gave me a deeper awareness and a sense of aliveness where before it is so easily squashed. So, now I have more confidence about myself in that aspect and can feel that new aliveness-outwardly or inwardly. Other favorites include: the beautiful surroundings, freedom, openness, and the huge variety of food. Thank you Michael, for being fun and calm during so much learning and facilitating. You were responsible for a lot and you handled it in such a joyful way. Sharing your joy is a blessing to all of us.
-Laurie, TX

A most fascinating several days to be sure…much learned, and experienced. The highlight was without question in my changed view of sexual interaction…the different lens with which I now believe, I can begin to see through…my absolute new definition of making love. It was truly profound! I've since had the honor of making love and so little of it was genitally based…gentle touch with several levels of communication…the subtle and lovely exchange of energy…it was exquisite. I now understand the absolute appropriateness of a sacred space, a beautified space with which to honor and interact with ones intimate partner. This had never been understood before. Also, the amount of hurt, pain, and inhibition that several of the attendees had, was extraordinarily profound to me. I had never truly experienced so closely the long-term effects of abuse. It did finally sink in, why Michael used the term healers and receivers during the exercises. Thank you Michael…for your integrity in spirit and action.
-Michael, ONT

Thanks so much for the Dance of Love. I didn't know what to expect, I only knew I was being led. As we stepped off the plane, it occurred to me that I was embarking on a journey very few others had made. I learned Love for self...Love, knowing what would be best for me and following my inner guidance. Making better choices...I guess that was my theme. I pulled Zen cards before the workshop that explain it best, "Slowing Down" and "Experiencing." What happened when I slowed down, was I learned to enjoy each experience at whatever level I was experiencing it and to not try influencing how it culminated. I learned to allow the experience to build, flowing where it was supposed to flow. With this, I experienced my unfolding. I also really enjoyed the energy work, breathing and toning exercises-especially the Kundalini breathing exercise.
-Tracie, AL

This workshop showed me aspects of myself that most of the world never addresses. When I did my morning meditation while I was in the workshop, I felt the essence about who I am, it is like I can see better than ever. And I have a better direction to serve humanity and share love. It was such a profound spiritual realization. I was in the bliss of my own goddess essence and crying about one hour. I am in a blissful state today and yet, at the same time, I am also more grounded. On the plane back home, I had a kind man seated beside me. He was quiet and smiled all the time. He offered his blanket to me when he saw I was a little cold. He even ordered a cup of water for me while I was in restroom. He was like an angel with a Shiva smile to guard me while I slept. When we arrived, he said good-bye to me and said "Welcome Home." I can't express how much insight I gained during and after workshop. Words are never enough. All I can do is send my love and gratitude. Waves and Waves love flowing out from my heart.
-Kelly, TX

The Sacred Sexuality Workshop was a wonderful tool to deeply integrate and ignite the amazing passion, bliss and love that is in my body and soul! I had amazing breakthroughs with stuff I have been working on for years. Such a wonderful feeling to take such a giant step in my process-evolving into the loving light-being that I am, and to connect and communicate with all the love and light in others-mentally, physically or emotionally. Last night I experienced one of the most amazing feelings I have ever felt! Just with holding and kissing my boyfriend, I was having waves of bliss and orgasm pulsing through my ENTIRE body, from my toes to my fingers! It was a feeling of total contentment in what was happening in the moment, a perfect beingness. It was a very powerful, surrendering, empowering, and positive experience. There were no agendas or even genital contact, just the Loving Presence of God and us.
-Pearl, AZ

First of all Michael, I want to say thank you for being so supportive to me during the Sacred Sexuality Workshop. You know the deep wounds and abuse I have been through and seemed to keep in mind what I could handle and not handle. The funny thing is, I doubted these abilities and you were right, I have grown and healed and could handle more than I thought. One thing I realized about myself was that my hang-ups are no longer as much about sex or my body but about people seeing into my soul. I also wanted to let you know I admire your ability to be aware of everyone's needs and issues. This is not easy when dealing with large numbers of people. You are very insightful to what is appropriate for each soul as they go through this journey of healing. That is a rare and awesome gift. My life force has been set on fire and I'm loving it! As one of the hosts, I really enjoyed the group of people who were involved in the Sacred Sexuality Workshop. There was a lot of integrity and openness in the group. Also, to stand outside and watch the transformation of each person was a gift in itself. I got to see how each day the barriers were coming down and the hearts were healing.
-Robin, WA

The Sacred Sexuality Workshop was one of the most incredible experiences in my life. I remember holding, being held, being still with the love (touching me beyond words), dancing with all of my new friends, dancing blissful sprits, lifting me into a loving light sharing all of their spirits. I can still feel the frolicking energy, playful beings, souls with purpose...God in skin. Dancing so many dances, light bouncing playful; stomping; writhing; teasing; losing self; floating in the space; nothing stopping movement; laughter, smiles, joy and I remember looking into the depths of each soul, connecting, safe, belonging, sharing that place within with me. I am excited about learning more and putting into practice the aspects of love I experienced at the workshop. It sure narrowed the focus for me in terms of who I will choose to share my body with. I guess it hit home how precious or delicate I really am. The workshop made me open to tuning into other people's love. To go beyond our bodies, seeing past all the skin. Focusing on the packaging of people is simply a way to keep distance from the light within each of us. So, by watching others, looking into everyone's eyes, feeling their breath, seeing everyone as 'spirit' helped me realize I am not my packaging either. And treating myself any other way only limits my connection with others.

The week I spent at the Sacred Sexuality Workshop really created some shifts in me (emotionally). As a yoga instructor, I was amazed at how I could move deeply into yoga poses that in the past I could not achieve or was struggling with. I moved with grace and ease. I felt freer, lighter and less constricted. I opened up and it felt soooo good. Also, I was able to pay more attention to other people's needs during the workshop and I felt more of a bond a connection with them. I was coming from my heart more versus my head. Michael has many qualities that I would like to emulate as an instructor…your style, integrity, sincerity, playfulness, the safe space that you create and the love that you share are so inspirational to me. It was a beautiful experience. Also, I never really believed that I was beautiful but after seeing and experiencing all the woman, I really saw how beautiful women really are and since I am one of them I must be too. :) I also feel more educated on how to be more sensual, loving, intimate, and open and that it is okay to feel and let go during lovemaking. I also saw the sensitive side of men and I saw their beauty and innocence where I have not seen that before. They were all loving, compassionate, kind, and generous and their having no agenda really made me feel safe.
