Introductory Evenings for Sydney Workshop

Sydney Coordinator Bob Moore is holding free introductory evening for men interested in learning more about Celebrating the Body Electric. To be held on Friday January 12, this is great opportunity if you know someone who is interested in the workshop to get a feel of what Body Electric offers.

Power Surrender & Intimacy: Exploring Conscious S/M (for Men)
with Dave Allen

Register now: If you’re planning on doing this workshop contact Bob for details. Bob will send you details of the preparation work involved before attending PSI.

Join other CBE graduates at the beautiful Bamarang Bush retreat on the banks of the Shoalhaven River for a journey that honours the dynamics of S/M play and its role in expanding self-awareness.

Those who come to Body Electric workshops are often surprised by the levels of ecstasy they experience. At the end of the weekend many men express gratitude for having explored places inside themselves they did not even know were possible.

Power, Surrender & Intimacy is similar. Men who attend this workshop are often surprised by the depths of masculine energy they experience, a kind of initiation into the power of their male body. This workshop does not require any previous S/M knowledge or experience, and it will teach you more about freedom, service, trust, compassion and fun.

Sydney Massage Evening

Sydney held its second graduate massage night on Monday 15th December. The evening was enjoyed by 12 men including Kristopher from Atlanta Georgia, USA who recently completed CBE in Atlanta and is on vacation here in Australia. The network ever widens!

Also welcome to Jamie a recent graduate from Brisbane CBE who has moved to Sydney from Melbourne to be with his partner Leif.

My thanks to all who helped in the setup and take down of the venue for the night. Your help was much appreciated. Also a special thanks to Leif for his wonderful generosity of heart and spirit and being a very able assistant for the evening.

It was wonderful to see so many faces from past CBE workshops attending. For many it was their first CBE contact since their original workshop and they all said how great it was to revisit the experience and reconnect with men who have been on the same journey. We look forward to seeing them again at future events.

The next Graduate Massage evening is on Monday 15th January at Heffron Hall from 7pm - 10pm. All CBE graduates from anywhere on the planet are welcome to come along
.

Changing of the Guard

Michael Campbell and David Murrin recently stepped down as the Brisbane co-ordinators after the residential CBE held on the Goldcoast hinterland in November. I want to acknowledge them for the amazing job they have done over the past 3 years creating a space for the Brisbane community to grow and flourish. Fortunately for us they intend to be around being part of the Brisbane community offering support in a myriad of ways.

Keith Davidson has graciously stepped forward to take up the role of the Brisbane Coordinator. Keith participated in the six week seminar series following the Brisbane October CBE in 2005 and also the Dear Love of Comrades Intensive at Bamarang. It is great to have him as part of the team that enables this work to continue in Australia and New Zealand.

Wayne on the Mend

It was great to see Wayne from Petersham at the Graduate Massage evening after his recent surgery for a broken leg. Wayne is a great supporter of Body Electric events and despite being in a fair amount of pain and on crutches, has come along to all of our information evenings to offer support and insights to men enquiring about CBE.

Nothing stops Wayne and it was great to see him participating in circle work and the massage rounds with judicious support from his crutches and a walking stick!

Wayne, your perseverance and beautiful heart are an inspiration to us all! You courage and determination to be part of the event was just wonderful and we wish you much love and a speedy recovery to full mobility.

Gift from Nikki

It was with much joy that we recently accepted a beautiful gift from one of our recent Sydney graduates, Nikki from Narabeen. Nikki was very impressed with the beautiful saris and sarongs with which we decorate our Temple space at CBE Workshops. He asked a friend travelling to India to bring back a beautiful length of sari silk which he has generously gifted to the Body Electric School. It is a stunning vibrant orange bordered with gold. We used it for the first time at our graduate massage evening on 15th December.

Thank you Nikki for your generous heart! Your gift will enhance the temple space for all CBE graduates, past, present and future, and will add to the vibrancy and beauty of the work that they do.
