Reclaiming the SEXUALITY Circuit and Celebrating the Emergence of the Self
December 12, 2022 @ 1:30 pm - March 6, 2023 @ 2:50 pm PST
Cost: $320About the Event
Do you need to rediscover your wellsprings of well-being? Do you sometimes wonder where your life energy has gone? Do you worry about the price you are paying for the stressful life you lead? Do you wish that joy would surface somewhere? And wouldn’t it be sweet if it surfaced on its own, without you having to dredge it up from wherever it has disappeared to?
The answers to these longings are most often caught up and entangled in blocks to the very important Circuit of Emotion and Motivation — one we often don’t consider in these questions – the EMERGENCE, or SEXUALITY circuit. A delicious sexual aliveness in physical intimacy can be very enlivening, but even if we have no interest in being sexually active, the SEXUALITY circuit is the neurophysiological pathway to our individuation, to our uniqueness – to us becoming who we are born to be.
How is this circuit blocked? By experiences of trauma, alarmed aloneness, lack of belonging, and by unconscious contracts we make to shut down our own growth. In these classes we will learn about and release these contracts to create access to more life energy and more connection, relationship and contribution.
Please join Sarah Peyton for an 8-week exploration into reclaiming, reawakening and supporting the EMERGENCE/SEXUALITY circuit.

Who Is This Course For?
All are welcome. This course is geared towards people who have begun their journey towards developing a Resonating Self Witness and who are interested in continuing along the path of cultivating authenticity and boldness to be themselves, all with an abundant self-warmth.
This Course Includes Resonant Support
Get assistant support during classes – experience resonant support from experienced practitioners when you need it during class times. Often, this work can have unexpected depth and touch on deeply held subconscious awareness and pain. Getting support when we need it most helps participants to integrate, regulate, and have a felt experience of the transformative power of resonance.
Here’s what a previous participant shared about having assistant support available during courses: “Thank you so much for offering the in-class 1:1 support with a resonance assistant as part of the course. This opportunity has gone a long way to provide me with a personalized felt sense of the impact of this process when working with a trained and skilled person to a greater depth than I had experienced on my own. Such a gift.” ~ Dorothy

- Some partial scholarships may be available after December 5, 2022. Write to [email protected] on or after December 5th, to inquire.
- This work is not therapy and is not a substitute for therapy. If you have a sense that you would be destabilized by yourself or others speaking about difficult events, then this course may not be for you. While we hope that the processes and information that we share can be of use in your journey, we do not have the resources to support extreme psychological difficulties.
