RHINEBECK, NY, October 30, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Streaming live on the Voice America Network (www.voiceamerica.com) on Wednesday, November 4, at 2 p.m. Pacific time/5 p.m. Eastern time, Gina Ogden, Ph.D., joins host Christina Pratt on this episode of "Why Shamanism Now?: A Practical Path to Authenticity" titled "Shamanism and Sexual Healing."
Ogden, an author, licensed marriage and family therapist, diplomat in sex therapy, and practitioner of ceremonial shamanism conducts groundbreaking healing work through shamanism, and talks to Pratt about how shamanism offers us the critical element in finding the path through our wounds to the robust, sacred and fun sexuality our shamanic ancestors enjoyed. Through shamanic ritual, individuals at any age can find the sexual healing necessary to enjoy a pleasurable, passionate sex life.
Ogden discusses ISIS -- her study on integrating sexuality and spirituality - and shares with listeners her breakthrough idea to use shamanic cosmology to organize her findings, thus becoming the first practitioner to effectively broaden the understanding of sexual experience beyond limiting notions of function and dysfunction.
Christina Pratt is an authentic, non-traditional contemporary shaman. In practice since 1990, she specializes in mending the soul and transforming the parts of life that feel impossible. A teacher of exceptional clarity, humor, and inspiration, Pratt brings the power of shamanism into the practical grasp of anyone willing to take responsibility for improving the quality of their life.
