About
Spiritus Erosque
Intertexti
(SEI)
The fundamental understanding of SEI is that each person is an individually
unique fusion of body, mind, and spirit and that a divine spirit beyond humanity
also exists, which can be construed mystically as purest truth, greatest wisdom,
most unconditional love, infinity, and eternity. Metaphorically, each of us is a
glass of water contemplating relationship with the ocean. At a basic level of understanding,
body, mind, and spirit are composed of energy that moves, responds, and can be directed
in various ways.
Among those ways is the possibility of generating energy and
redirecting that energy in ways guided by personal intention and mental focus. The
central activity of SEI is a workshop, currently only available to men, the schedule
of which is typically Friday 6-
Whether this workshop will someday also be available
to women is dependent upon the future availability of a trustworthy and effective
facilitator. All clothing is ritually removed shortly after the beginning of the
workshop and ritually replaced just before its conclusion. The methods used by SEI
to generate and redirect energy include erotic massage and conscious breathing.
While no agreement or disagreement with the belief that orgasm does in fact
disperse personal energy is claimed by SEI, the recommendation is nevertheless that
orgasm is to be avoided immediately prior to and during participation in an SEI workshop,
in the interest of utilizing personal energy for other constructive purposes.
Although the workshop does include erotic contact between participants in order to
accomplish its goals, and participants are free to disclose or conceal their orientation
as they wish, complete respect and honest communication are at all times absolutely
required. The workshop is a collaboration of men of potentially diverse sexual orientation,
seeking personal and/or spiritual growth, development, or healing; the workshop is
not a convergence of sexual objects seeking euphoria or ongoing relationship.
The
cost of this weekend workshop is tentatively set at $100, subject to rental costs
of appropriate venues. Since the entire workshop can be done within a space approximately
twenty to thirty feet square that can be adequately heated or cooled which is also
carpeted, those with appropriate spaces are encouraged to contact the facilitator
to negotiate a mutually beneficial exchange, which will also keep the cost of the
workshop affordable to others. Meals are not included and participants are encouraged
to bring sack lunches and any energy-
