SUMMARY:Sex Talk Cacao Series - Pillow Talk: Communication Before\, During\, and After Sex
DESCRIPTION:In our summer cacao ceremony series\, we invite you to talk about sex! Within our sacred container\, expressing our desires\, fears\, and boundaries\, we’ll take this vulnerable leap together! \n\n\n\n\nTalks in the series include: \n\n\n\n\n6/18 – Peak Sexual Experiences\n7/2 – Pillow Talk: Communication Before\, During\, and After Sex\n7/16 – Sexual Inhibitions\n7/30 – Creating a Sacred Sex Life \n\n\n\nCost: Recommended $25 (pay what you can) \n\n\n\n\nYes\, this is open to singles and couples (or however you define yourselves) \n\n\n\nSex Talk\n\n\n\n\nFacilitated by Christine Renee and Jim Macdonald \n\n\n\n\nFinding supportive spaces for vulnerable conversations can be challenging\, but they are so necessary! The more vulnerable the topic\, the more necessary. We have seen “death cafes” and “grief support groups” flourish for people grappling with those big topics. However\, when it comes to sex\, the topic is so fraught with taboo\, shame\, trauma\, and mistrust\, it can be surprisingly difficult for people to talk about it in healthy and supportive ways. How many times have we heard someone admit to us that they can’t even speak to their partner about sex? \n\n\n\n\nJim has offered versions of “Sex Talk” in the past\, and they have been very popular for gathering community members to just talk. People attending workshops have wanted more\, and now Jim and Christine present a four-workshop Sex Talk Series\, with a special flavor – cacao! \n\n\n\n\nCacao is an amazing sacred medicinal plant that people have been using more and more to help open their hearts. We offer it here as part of a spiritual practice to help invite us into the holy act of sharing our hearts in witness of each other. Each “Sex Talk\,” therefore\, is also a cacao ceremony. \n\n\n\n\nOur talks are every other Wednesday starting June 18\, and are focused on the the following topics: \n\n\n\n\n6/18 – Peak Sexual Experiences: Describe to each other the best sexual experience in your lives and what made it the best for you\n7/2 – Pillow Talk: Communication Before\, During\, and After Sex:  What are the kinds of things that are important to communicate? How can we improve communication? What keeps us from communicating?\n7/16 – Sexual Inhibitions: What obstacles keep us from having the sex we desire? Are they specific fears? Are they societal norms? Is it something to do with our self-image or perhaps the image of a partner?\n7/30 – Creating a Sacred Sex Life: Some might consider “sacred sex” to be an oxymoron\, but we strongly disagree; what practices have we introduced into our sexual relationship with ourselves and others for the sacred to emerge from our sexuality? \n\n\n\n\nWide open hearts are beautiful but also risky. We are here to take care of each other. All our practices are framed within a sacred space container. More than a container\, this is a communication practice where we see and hear each other\, particularly our desires\, fears\, and boundaries. That is\, we are creating a space where we hope to minimize triggers\, understand the needs of the participants in the room\, and create a safer container where we can share. No one is coaxed\, prodded\, or led into anything they do not want to be doing or sharing. We take seriously the idea that your boundaries are sacred\, and we will provide several means for you to be able to assert them as you wish. \n\n\n\n\nThe suggested price for this workshop is $25\, but all of these workshops are pay what you can (even if what you can is $0). \n\n\n\n\nSpace for all these workshops is limited; so please RSVP to guarantee your spot. \n\n\n\n\nChristine Renee is a shamanic reiki practitioner and spiritual coach. She offers a wide array of courses and services through her Moon Rising Shamanic Institute. \n\n\n\n\nJim Macdonald is a licensed Chakradance facilitator and SkyDancing Tantra teacher in training\, having also offered many intimacy-related workshops. \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nSex Talk Cacao Ceremony Series\nWednesday June 18\, July 2\, 16\, and 30\, 2100 Fairway Drive\, #102 – 7-9 PM – Facilitated by Christine Renee and Jim Macdonald\n \n \n\n Name* \n\nFirst NameLast Name\n \n\n Email* \n example@example.com \n\n Phone Number* \n Your phone number will only be used to text you about the event you have registered for. \n\n Which of the Sex Talks are you RSVPing for (choose all that apply) \n\nJune 18 – Peak Sexual ExperiencesJuly 2 – Pillow Talk: Communication Before\, During\, and After SexJuly 16 – Sexual InhibitionsJuly 30 – Creating a Sacred Sex Life\n \n\n How many other people are you registering?

SUMMARY:Women's Red Tent Cacao Series: Senses of the Sacred – Reawakening Sensuality
DESCRIPTION: Women’s Red Tent Cacao Ceremonies (7-9PM)\nA Sacred Series for Embodied Feminine Healing\n\nJoin us in sacred ceremony for vulnerable conversations\, deep connection\, and somatic healing. The Red Tent is an ancient metaphor—a sanctuary where women once gathered during their moon time to rest\, reflect\, and reconnect with nature and each other. In today’s world\, we reclaim this space to honor our bodies\, cycles\, sensuality\, and spirit.Each ceremony is centered around the heart-opening ritual of drinking ceremonial cacao—an ancient plant medicine known for awakening emotional clarity and softening the body into deeper intimacy with self. Through embodied practices\, storytelling\, and somatic healing\, we remember what it means to be fully alive in our feminine essence.Let us gather in a modern Red Tent—one rooted in love\, earth wisdom\, and radical presence.\nAll classes take place at Bozeman Spiritual Society from 7-9pm at 2100 Fairway Drive\, #102\, Bozeman. $25 suggested donation.\n\n June 25: The Moon Within – Honoring the Menstrual CycleCacao Ceremony Theme: Menstrual “Moon” CyclesSomatic Healing Experience: Earth Womb ConnectionIn this circle\, we drop into the sacred rhythm of the womb—the original drum of life. Together\, we will explore our menstrual cycles as portals of power\, not problems to be fixed. Through cacao\, we soften into the stories we carry around menstruation\, release shame\, and make space for reverence.Our somatic journey will guide you into connection with the Earth Womb—a grounding\, nurturing somatic meditation that roots your body into the earth’s rhythms\, restoring trust in your cyclical nature. Expect gentle movement\, guided visualization\, and womb listening practices. This ceremony is for all women\, regardless of whether you bleed\, have a womb\, or are post-menopausal.\n\n July 9: Senses of the Sacred – Reawakening SensualityCacao Ceremony Theme: Smells & Flavors of SexSomatic Healing Experience: Enhancing the SensesLet’s talk about sex—raw\, sacred\, and sensory. This gathering invites us to explore the erotic as life force\, as nourishment\, and as truth. We’ll sip cacao and drop into open\, shame-free conversation around the textures of desire\, the forgotten pleasures of smell\, taste\, and sensation\, and the stories we’ve inherited about our sensual selves.Our somatic practice will awaken the senses—through breath\, touch\, scent\, and sound. You’ll be guided through a sensual re-embodiment ritual to reconnect with your innate capacity for pleasure\, aliveness\, and joy. This evening is both sacred and playful—a celebration of feminine sensual intelligence in all its flavors.\n\n July 23: The Voice of Pleasure – Sacred Sounds of SexualityCacao Ceremony Theme: Sacred Sounds of SexualitySomatic Healing Experience: Sounding the Chakras with Microcosmic OrbitSound is one of the most primal languages of the body—and one of the most suppressed. In this Red Tent\, we journey into the vocal expression of our sensuality and sexual energy. Through the heart-opening medicine of cacao\, we’ll explore the sounds of pleasure\, release\, and truth—learning how to use our voices to move energy and deepen intimacy with ourselves.Our somatic practice blends ancient Taoist energy work with chakra toning. The Microcosmic Orbit is a gentle\, guided energy flow technique that circulates sexual and creative energy through the body’s central channel. Combined with vocal sounding through each chakra\, this experience opens the throat\, clears stagnation\, and awakens full-body vitality. Come ready to make noise\, feel deeply\, and reclaim your right to be heard.\n\n August 6: Birthing the Self – The Sacred Portal of ChildbirthCacao Ceremony Theme: Childbirth as TransformationSomatic Healing Experience: Sacred GazingWhether you have given birth to a child\, an idea\, or a new version of yourself\, the archetype of the Mother lives in us all. This ceremony honors the power\, pain\, and poetry of childbirth—not only as a physical event\, but as a spiritual rite of passage. We’ll sit in sacred circle with cacao\, sharing stories of birthing and becoming\, acknowledging both grief and glory.The somatic ritual of the evening is Sacred Gazing—a heart-expanding\, soul-revealing practice that mirrors the way we are born into the eyes of another. In dyads\, you’ll be guided to soften into eye contact\, presence\, and emotional intimacy. This practice gently dissolves defenses and helps you feel truly seen\, reminding you of your original innocence and infinite worth. A deeply nourishing close to our Red Tent series.\n\nRegister here: https://docs.google.com/…/1FAIpQLSfiaZ7kEcD…/viewform…

SUMMARY:Women's Red Tent Cacao Series: The Voice of Pleasure – Sacred Sounds of Sexuality
DESCRIPTION: Women’s Red Tent Cacao Ceremonies (7-9PM)\nA Sacred Series for Embodied Feminine Healing\n\nJoin us in sacred ceremony for vulnerable conversations\, deep connection\, and somatic healing. The Red Tent is an ancient metaphor—a sanctuary where women once gathered during their moon time to rest\, reflect\, and reconnect with nature and each other. In today’s world\, we reclaim this space to honor our bodies\, cycles\, sensuality\, and spirit.Each ceremony is centered around the heart-opening ritual of drinking ceremonial cacao—an ancient plant medicine known for awakening emotional clarity and softening the body into deeper intimacy with self. Through embodied practices\, storytelling\, and somatic healing\, we remember what it means to be fully alive in our feminine essence.Let us gather in a modern Red Tent—one rooted in love\, earth wisdom\, and radical presence.\nAll classes take place at Bozeman Spiritual Society from 7-9pm at 2100 Fairway Drive\, #102\, Bozeman. $25 suggested donation.\n\n June 25: The Moon Within – Honoring the Menstrual CycleCacao Ceremony Theme: Menstrual “Moon” CyclesSomatic Healing Experience: Earth Womb ConnectionIn this circle\, we drop into the sacred rhythm of the womb—the original drum of life. Together\, we will explore our menstrual cycles as portals of power\, not problems to be fixed. Through cacao\, we soften into the stories we carry around menstruation\, release shame\, and make space for reverence.Our somatic journey will guide you into connection with the Earth Womb—a grounding\, nurturing somatic meditation that roots your body into the earth’s rhythms\, restoring trust in your cyclical nature. Expect gentle movement\, guided visualization\, and womb listening practices. This ceremony is for all women\, regardless of whether you bleed\, have a womb\, or are post-menopausal.\n\n July 9: Senses of the Sacred – Reawakening SensualityCacao Ceremony Theme: Smells & Flavors of SexSomatic Healing Experience: Enhancing the SensesLet’s talk about sex—raw\, sacred\, and sensory. This gathering invites us to explore the erotic as life force\, as nourishment\, and as truth. We’ll sip cacao and drop into open\, shame-free conversation around the textures of desire\, the forgotten pleasures of smell\, taste\, and sensation\, and the stories we’ve inherited about our sensual selves.Our somatic practice will awaken the senses—through breath\, touch\, scent\, and sound. You’ll be guided through a sensual re-embodiment ritual to reconnect with your innate capacity for pleasure\, aliveness\, and joy. This evening is both sacred and playful—a celebration of feminine sensual intelligence in all its flavors.\n\n July 23: The Voice of Pleasure – Sacred Sounds of SexualityCacao Ceremony Theme: Sacred Sounds of SexualitySomatic Healing Experience: Sounding the Chakras with Microcosmic OrbitSound is one of the most primal languages of the body—and one of the most suppressed. In this Red Tent\, we journey into the vocal expression of our sensuality and sexual energy. Through the heart-opening medicine of cacao\, we’ll explore the sounds of pleasure\, release\, and truth—learning how to use our voices to move energy and deepen intimacy with ourselves.Our somatic practice blends ancient Taoist energy work with chakra toning. The Microcosmic Orbit is a gentle\, guided energy flow technique that circulates sexual and creative energy through the body’s central channel. Combined with vocal sounding through each chakra\, this experience opens the throat\, clears stagnation\, and awakens full-body vitality. Come ready to make noise\, feel deeply\, and reclaim your right to be heard.\n\n August 6: Birthing the Self – The Sacred Portal of ChildbirthCacao Ceremony Theme: Childbirth as TransformationSomatic Healing Experience: Sacred GazingWhether you have given birth to a child\, an idea\, or a new version of yourself\, the archetype of the Mother lives in us all. This ceremony honors the power\, pain\, and poetry of childbirth—not only as a physical event\, but as a spiritual rite of passage. We’ll sit in sacred circle with cacao\, sharing stories of birthing and becoming\, acknowledging both grief and glory.The somatic ritual of the evening is Sacred Gazing—a heart-expanding\, soul-revealing practice that mirrors the way we are born into the eyes of another. In dyads\, you’ll be guided to soften into eye contact\, presence\, and emotional intimacy. This practice gently dissolves defenses and helps you feel truly seen\, reminding you of your original innocence and infinite worth. A deeply nourishing close to our Red Tent series.\n\nRegister here: https://docs.google.com/…/1FAIpQLSfiaZ7kEcD…/viewform…

SUMMARY:Sex Talk Cacao Series: Creating a Sacred Sex Life
DESCRIPTION:In our summer cacao ceremony series (7-9PM)\, we invite you to talk about sex! Within our sacred container\, expressing our desires\, fears\, and boundaries\, we’ll take this vulnerable leap together! \n\n\n\n\nTalks in the series include: \n\n\n\n\n6/18 – Peak Sexual Experiences\n7/2 – Pillow Talk: Communication Before\, During\, and After Sex\n7/16 – Sexual Inhibitions\n7/30 – Creating a Sacred Sex Life \n\n\n\nCost: Recommended $25 (pay what you can) \n\n\n\n\nYes\, this is open to singles and couples (or however you define yourselves) \n\n\n\nSex Talk\n\n\n\n\nFacilitated by Christine Renee and Jim Macdonald \n\n\n\n\nFinding supportive spaces for vulnerable conversations can be challenging\, but they are so necessary! The more vulnerable the topic\, the more necessary. We have seen “death cafes” and “grief support groups” flourish for people grappling with those big topics. However\, when it comes to sex\, the topic is so fraught with taboo\, shame\, trauma\, and mistrust\, it can be surprisingly difficult for people to talk about it in healthy and supportive ways. How many times have we heard someone admit to us that they can’t even speak to their partner about sex? \n\n\n\n\nJim has offered versions of “Sex Talk” in the past\, and they have been very popular for gathering community members to just talk. People attending workshops have wanted more\, and now Jim and Christine present a four-workshop Sex Talk Series\, with a special flavor – cacao! \n\n\n\n\nCacao is an amazing sacred medicinal plant that people have been using more and more to help open their hearts. We offer it here as part of a spiritual practice to help invite us into the holy act of sharing our hearts in witness of each other. Each “Sex Talk\,” therefore\, is also a cacao ceremony. \n\n\n\n\nOur talks are every other Wednesday starting June 18\, and are focused on the the following topics: \n\n\n\n\n6/18 – Peak Sexual Experiences: Describe to each other the best sexual experience in your lives and what made it the best for you\n7/2 – Pillow Talk: Communication Before\, During\, and After Sex:  What are the kinds of things that are important to communicate? How can we improve communication? What keeps us from communicating?\n7/16 – Sexual Inhibitions: What obstacles keep us from having the sex we desire? Are they specific fears? Are they societal norms? Is it something to do with our self-image or perhaps the image of a partner?\n7/30 – Creating a Sacred Sex Life: Some might consider “sacred sex” to be an oxymoron\, but we strongly disagree; what practices have we introduced into our sexual relationship with ourselves and others for the sacred to emerge from our sexuality? \n\n\n\n\nWide open hearts are beautiful but also risky. We are here to take care of each other. All our practices are framed within a sacred space container. More than a container\, this is a communication practice where we see and hear each other\, particularly our desires\, fears\, and boundaries. That is\, we are creating a space where we hope to minimize triggers\, understand the needs of the participants in the room\, and create a safer container where we can share. No one is coaxed\, prodded\, or led into anything they do not want to be doing or sharing. We take seriously the idea that your boundaries are sacred\, and we will provide several means for you to be able to assert them as you wish. \n\n\n\n\nThe suggested price for this workshop is $25\, but all of these workshops are pay what you can (even if what you can is $0). \n\n\n\n\nSpace for all these workshops is limited; so please RSVP to guarantee your spot. \n\n\n\n\nChristine Renee is a shamanic reiki practitioner and spiritual coach. She offers a wide array of courses and services through her Moon Rising Shamanic Institute. \n\n\n\n\nJim Macdonald is a licensed Chakradance facilitator and SkyDancing Tantra teacher in training\, having also offered many intimacy-related workshops. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nSex Talk Cacao Ceremony Series\nWednesday June 18\, July 2\, 16\, and 30\, 2100 Fairway Drive\, #102 – 7-9 PM – Facilitated by Christine Renee and Jim Macdonald\n \n \n\n Name* \n\nFirst NameLast Name\n \n\n Email* \n example@example.com \n\n Phone Number* \n Your phone number will only be used to text you about the event you have registered for. \n\n Which of the Sex Talks are you RSVPing for (choose all that apply) \n\nJune 18 – Peak Sexual ExperiencesJuly 2 – Pillow Talk: Communication Before\, During\, and After SexJuly 16 – Sexual InhibitionsJuly 30 – Creating a Sacred Sex Life\n \n\n How many other people are you registering?
