PRESENTING IN SLC September 23rd and 24th, 2011

UPDATE: (Written October 22, 2011) I am planning to return to SLC to do another class series in 2012 similar to the structure of the classes in September of 2011 (although the content and specifics of these classes continues to evolve). Details of these events will follow in the coming weeks:


I will be presenting in SLC on the subject of sexuality and desire to LDS women and couples. (Two events --- See below):


FRIDAY, September 23rd at 7:00 p.m. : LDS Women and Sexual Desire:
I will be speaking to LDS women about the cultural and psychological barriers to desire comon to many LDS women, as well as how to shift one's relationship to sexuality to make it more pleasurable and desirable. This presentation will be held on Friday the 23rd of September, from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m. COST: $25/person ($20/person if you bring a friend).

SATURDAY, September 24th, at 10:00 a.m.: Enhancing Sexual Intimacy for LDS Couples:
I will be speaking to LDS couples about interpersonal dynamics and realities that interfere with desire and attraction in long-term relationships, as well as how to understand and address these relational challenges as a couple. (You do not have to come as a couple to attend this seminar). The seminar will include presentation and discussion. I will also send you home with exercises that you can work on together. This event will begin at 10:00 a.m. and go until 12:30 noon, and will resume again at 2:00 and go until 4:30. COST: $75 / couple. $40 / individual. You can also purchase half-day tuition for $40 per couple if you cannot make the entire event.

(I will also be available on Saturday evening for one on one meetings with any individual or couple who would like some individual input from me. Please contact me for pricing and availability.)
