A truly life changing experience for me! My first class was over 20 years ago and I've taken over 10 programs in the years since. They care, they have compassion and they make the world a much better place.
My first experience with the Body Electric School was in 2005. At the completion of that weekend, I knew I had found my "tuath" (Gaelic word for people, or tribe). I have benefitted at least once yearly from their various offerings and now volunteer as a coordinator and team member. I learned to appreciate the wisdom held in my body connecting the spiritual and the erotic. I have found hidden wounds from my childhood that expressed themselves as shame and fear. Most importantly I have been taught and learned to appreciate myself as a Sacred Intimate. Those teachings allowed me to walk together for two years with my adult son as his body failed him as approached his death: a treasured gift as he "let me in." I am profoundly grateful.
Body Electric fundamentally changed my life. It helped me to release the shame, fear and guilt I'd be carrying that prevented me to living my truest self. I'm so grateful to the school.
This organization's programs helped me deal with many challenges I had been facing dealing with my sexual orientation, alcoholism, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I greatpy appreciated how it helped to change my life.
My experience with Body Electric (BE) has been nothing short of profound. The love and release of shame I found through the work of BE has changed my life in radical and permanent ways. I highly recommend that anyone who wants to feel more alive and freer in their body participate in a BE workshop.
To serve New Body Electric School is a true honor. I both participate as a board member and attend workshops in-person and online. Serving on the board is an opportunity to give back to an organization that has changed my life and expanded my experience of self and community. I find the workshops to be grounded and expansive, always surprising me and allowing me to fully trust the experience and facilitators.
The Body Electric School programming is the most impactful programming I have discovered. I keep coming back because I like how I am growing and opening up to new experiences. The programming is very well done and my attendance is always valued. Best of all, I find that the people registering for Body Electric School programming are "salt of the Earth" people that I feel at home with. Many are dear friends because they have played such pivotal roles during my healing/transformation journey.
Spring 2012 I experienced my first Body Electric weekend, and to say it was transformative is an understatement. The last 12 years post workshop has been full of my life unfolding into more pleasure, deeper healing and self understanding, impacting my relationships positively, fuelling my creativity and how I show up in the world. I not only continued to explore BE programs, I’m now a facilitator for the school. The work of BE is the medicine the world needs especially now.
I've attended multiple Body Electric workshops, and I continue to be bowled over by the depth of healing and self-discovery that I've been able to access. This work encourages vulnerability and courage, and it pays incredible dividends in personal growth. I'm much more confident and happier than I ever thought possible. These workshops literally changed the course of my life.
A dedicated group of volunteers and professionals creating containers for transformational healing. What we need right now and leaning into the moment to support our communities. The networked model of delivery is effective for this type of intimate, community-based work, and I am excited to be part of the future of the organization.
