Public Talk in Santa Monica, California
Bestselling author David Deida continues to light the way to a fuller expression of our unique purpose in love and life. David teaches that in order to offer our deepest gifts–whether in bed, with our art, or through our work–we relax and surrender as this open moment, trusting the total power that lives us now. Abiding freely as unknowing, we allow our whole sexual body to incarnate love without hesitation.
Join in a rare public teaching appearance with David Deida for An Evening with David Deida in Santa Monica, California, on May 4, 2017. David will be working directly with audience members in a spontaneous presentation of teaching and dialogue, as well as offering his most recent explorations and discoveries in:
• Practicing ultimate lovemaking as unending vulnerability
• Offering the sexual body as a flower of devotional invitation
• Aching love: He is always too little, She is always too much
• Enjoying the dissolution of purpose, self-sense, and shape in erotic rapture
• Spanking, biting, squeezing and emotional antidotes
• Easing the moment open through playful force
• And more…
We are excited to offer this singular experience in the ongoing work of this revolutionary teacher.
Doors open at 6:30pm. From 7:00pm to 10:00pm (with intermission), David Deida will be teaching, answering questions, and working with audience members one-on-one.
There are limited seats for this event. Please register early!
