Love’s Embodiment


  • Easton Mountain Retreat Center 391 Herrington Hill Road Greenwich, NY, 12834 United States (map)

with Joseph Kramer. Assisted by Don Shewey, Bob Barzan, and Tg Phillips

Who is invited? Sacred intimates, erotic contemplatives and others who are dedicated to fostering a sense of well-being and aliveness within themselves, other people, and the environment. This dedication to embodying love necessitates a safe and nurturing environment for transformative practice. Let us co-create this magical space at Easton Mountain.

On this six-day journey, we will delve into contemplative practices that promote an acute awareness of the inner sensations of arousal. For more than a thousand years, such practices of attentive observation and enjoyment of our bodies have faced prohibitions from Western religions. These prohibitions have largely been successful at limiting access to these profound states of aliveness.

This six-day retreat offers an opportunity for queer men to indulge in these deeply nourishing practices in a beautiful environment with supportive community. Join us for this sensuous exploration of giving and receiving. 

Some of you have experienced Joseph Kramer’s contemplative erotic massage practices in the Body Electric classes he choreographed, such as Celebrating the Body Erotic (CBE), the Dear Love of Comrades and Sacred Intimacy Training. In those classes, Joseph guided participants into astonishing communal experiences of giving and receiving erotic massage. But he didn’t teach participants how to access this experience after the class. 

In the twenty-first century, Joseph evolved his weekend Body Electric experiences into nine-month Sexological Bodywork trainings where participants practiced and became skilled erotic professionals. The erotic expertise of Sexological Bodyworkers is recognized as a legal profession in the state of California and countries around the world.

At Easton you will experience some of these new and powerful forms of erotic bodywork. You can then choose what you wish to practice and master in the weeks and months after the training with your intimates and partners. The course workbook and video demonstrations will offer support and guidance.
