Wholistic Sexuality Series with Sheri Winston Ecstatic Journey of Birth & Sex
Instructor - Sheri Winston, CMN, RN, BSN, LMT
Sheri Winston (CNM, RN, BSN, LMT) is one of the country’s most respected teachers about sex and sexuality. Her specialized knowledge is derived in large measure from her two-decade career as a certified nurse-midwife and gynecological practitioner. She has been a sex teacher for a decade and is the founder and executive director of the Center for the Intimate Arts. She teaches at educational institutions, women’s conferences, sexuality boutiques, and other venues.
As a teacher, Winston is hailed for her lively and engaging style, the comfort level she creates for her students, and the high quality and original content of her material. During her three-decade career as a teacher, she has received thousands of evaluations. She has never received an evaluation lower than ‘7’ on a scale of ‘1’ to ’10.” In other words, only ‘very good’ and “fabulous’ ratings.
Winston’s Wholistic Sexuality™ curriculum currently has over 50 classes covering subjects such as women’s reproductive health, communication skills, women’s anatomy of arousal, and orgasmic abundance.
Her 2009 book, Women’s Anatomy of Arousal: Secret Maps to Buried Pleasure, won the 2010 Book of the Year award from the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT). Dr. Christiane Northrup, author of Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom, has called Women’s Anatomy of Arousal “the most comprehensive, user-friendly, practical and uplifting book on women’s sexuality I’ve ever read.”
All classes are “clothes on and hands off,” in other words, easy on the nerves and totally respectful of boundaries. Some classes are lectures with discussion, others have experiential exercises that are totally comfortable and non-threatening. You will never be asked to do anything that makes you uncomfortable.
Thursday, Feb 10. The Ecstatic Journey of Birth and Sex: The Integral Trances of Pleasure and Procreation.
An integral view of the vital and fundamental relationship between birth and sex. Sex doesn’t just get the baby started. It isn’t just an act that occurs behind a locked bedroom door. Sex is part of who we are, the vital life force, and the manifestation of creation energy. As birth-workers, we need to understand and appreciate the profound and fundamental connections between these two facets of sexuality. Labor and birth share the same equipment, as well as a similar electro-chemical and neurobiological milieu. Both are altered states of consciousness and psycho-somatic-spiritual journeys. By understanding the similarities of the two states and how each process as an essential part of the other, it’s possible to see them in a new light. This essential class describes the inherent connections between labor and birth, and sexual arousal and orgasm. Understanding the connections of these experiences will provide birth professionals with new tools and techniques to assist your clients in their passage, as well as all women in their own ecstatic journeys.
