Private Men’s Intensive with David Deida
I’m thrilled to invite you to an exclusive event with David Deida in the Sangre de Cristo mountain range of Crestone, Colorado, September 3-9, 2018. Our gathering will be guided step-by-step toward the mastery of true life-purpose and authentic tantric sexual practices, grounded in conscious presence.
Last year in Micanopy, Florida, I watched David take a group of men deeper into spiritual practice than I have ever experienced in my 20 years of study with him. Sessions often ran late into the night and included initiation into dream yoga, exploration of deep purpose, and esoteric solo and partner sexual yoga practices that he had never shared in workshops before. Transformations occurred, giving us immediate access to the primal energy of our own deep being.
Building upon that influential program he offered last year, I have worked with David to create an unparalleled Men’s Intensive, his deepest offering for men yet. In preparation for this Residential Men’s Intensive, David will be on solitary practice retreat prior to the event within the Sangre de Cristo mountains and the expansive San Luis Valley – the ideal environment where consciousness, heart, and body are inspired to open wide. Crestone, Colorado provides a pristine environment for deep, undisturbed, and undistracted spiritual and sexual exploration.
There are critical moments in time when the flow of your life can be influenced, like acupuncture points giving access to the flow of energies in the body, articulating a new time of life-change and awareness. This Men’s Intensive is one of those moments. It is the only Intensive that David is scheduled to offer this year.
Come join us. Space is limited to 36 men and available by application only. Plan your arrival for check-in, dinner, and orientation on Monday, September 3, and your departure for the morning of Sunday, September 9, 2018.
Fellowships are available for full-time monks. If interested, please inquire.
I am excited to be offering this unique Men’s Intensive with David, and hope that you will be able to join us.
Regards,
Christopher Sunyata

“David Deida is the one western teacher of tantra whose books I read and whom I send students to learn from. The results of true practice, in any tradition, are unmistakable; David Deida demonstrates them. He is a bridge-builder between East and West, between ancient and modern wisdom traditions. David is in the dynamic living oral tradition of maverick spiritual teachers who, like free-jazz musicians, can riff directly on Reality, outside of established forms. Mark my words: in a future that I hope is not too far off, David Deida’s original western Dharma will be widely known as one of the most sublime and accessible expressions of the essence of spiritual practice that is freely offered today.” —Lama Surya Das, author of Awakening the Buddha Within
“David Deida’s teachings on this central human concern, sexuality, emanate from a deeply trustworthy source. He has undergone his own rigorous training and practice, which manifests in precise, gentle, and thorough teachings. Many spiritual traditions, including Zen, have excluded or marginalized the sexual experience. David’s work fills that gap, and gives us a mature approach for bringing the energetic, emotional, and physical expression of sex into our life and practice. And like Zen, the fruition of David’s work is openness, compassion, and love.” —Genpo Roshi, author of Spitting Out the Bones: A Zen Master’s 45 Year Journey
