March Salon: David Deida

Review

Just a quick note to say "thank you" to everyone who came on Saturday.

With 11 people and a great balance of men and women, it was a great
success with lots of talk about Deida and his work and lots of lovely
conversation, and food! afterwards.

After the event I was left with a feeling that there is a lot more to
explore here… I think people could feel my nervousness about actually
presenting some of these topics, I was just `putting it out there',
but I have felt a lot of inspiration from listening to the Deida MP3s
and I'd love to explore this more with people who liked the intro
enough to want to do more.

It was quite a mixed group and I don't think everyone would be up for
more Deida, but if you ARE then please please let me know and I'll
perhaps we can schedule `Deeper into Deida' as a Salon
subject/practice later in the year.

Thanks again everyone, it was a great evening.

I'd like to say thanks especially to Benedict for the amazing chilli
and great hosting skills.

Love and hugs to you all.

Looking forward to April with Robert Masters even more now!

Original Event Details:

An evening of video and discussion

We'll take a look at David Deida's video Function, Flow & Glow and just let it flow from there.

Someone said to me recently that watching Deida talk is like "seeing enlightenment channelled through a pervert". Deida's work is edgy, controversial and is bound to raise a few eyebrows and plenty of debate.

Best known for his work on Masculine and Feminine the gross message from Deida is that it's fundamentally OKAY to be a guy, or a girl. More subtly he shows us how it is okay for us to re-embrace the masculine and femine energies at our core - and it's not just words, he embodies it as he speaks.

Post-conventional-communion

Deida's work on relationships picks up on the integral idea of a journey of development from pre-conventional, conventional to post-conventional and defines a three-stage journey from "Co-dependant" to "50/50" to "intimate communion" where we can finally giving our true gifts, from our core, to universe.

Then there is "finding your edge". Finding, pushing to and living at your edge. Deida says "if you don't feel up against it you're either enlightened or lazy".

And that's him being polite.

Video starts at 4pm, but do come earlier if you want to unwind and have a bite to eat.
