I Got Me, You Got You, We Got We
In the Sanctuary we understand that better relationships start with you being in your power as an individual (sovereign self). When “you’ve got you” and are feeling grounded and resourced, then it’s much easier to support your beloved in what their needs may be.
When you and your partner both “have” yourselves, you can more easily “have each other” which means you are able to give more to each other and your relationship.
When you are both giving and receiving in balance and attending to your relationship needs more fully, then you have more to give to each other, your community, families and friends.
During the next Love Lounge we will drop into more deep dialog around what it means to have yourself, then your beloved and then the ‘WE’.
We discussed as a community what that takes, what challenges might be up for you and your partner to help make sure that you come from a more resources place as often as possible. And we connected on what to do when you don’t “have you.”

Mark Palmer, founding member of the Integral Institute who will be joining us for an engaging and interactive dialogue designed to help us explore, evolve, and heal our relationship to power so that we can lead, serve, and inspire by becoming the vessel.

In this salon we’ll touch on the integral model and spiral dynamics as we explore a model that helps us understand both our personal development and our cultural evolution. We’ll understand the role of emotions and emotional maturity and the advantages of inhabiting multiple perspectives to inform better action. We will go beyond just having our personal agency and sovereignty where we might often be operating out of a mostly self-centered “preservation” mindset towards a more balanced, interconnected, comprehensive mindset.

We’ll also look at immediate and long-term actions so we can contribute effectively to positive changes in culture — individually, collectively, in our hearts and in our society— to realize our longing for a more balanced, comprehensive, interconnected, and whole.

Healing The Political Divide: How to communicate effectively with the people we disagree with most.
Dennis Cohen, professional mediator and family therapist guides us into using our conversation skills to communicate with those who have differing views.
What’s covered:
-How to How to ask empowering questions
-Listening skills that will make hard conversations easier

The world “out there” can feel extremely polarized at times. This past year, polarization has been taken to new heights. Being human can be challenging and when conflict or strong differences of opinions or beliefs come up it can push even the most open hearted of us to the edge.
The next Love Lounge will focus on taking control of our reactions, how to use questions to guide a conversation and find a common ground when we have opposing views.
During the call you will have an opportunity to connect, learn, share and practice with other couples on how to shift triggers around polarizing conversations and transform conflict into connection.
Gain empowering tools and insights from the community on how to be a master at conquering upset and conflict.

As we continue with the quarterly themed principle, Holding It All, Together and our October monthly theme of Prejudice & Projection we will be diving into an important and potent discussion of how we form and un-form our Couples Councils which can bring up… shall we say… a ripe opportunity to work with many (if not all) of the Eden World 12 Principles.

Given all that we’ve learned about Erotic Blueprint Designs from Kismet during her Salon, we have some deliciously provocative prompts to titillate more sexiness and open the door to your desires.

Erotic Blueprints are like the Love Languages for arousal and sexual expression. When you and your partner share a vocabulary, it’s easier for both of you to ask for and provide exactly what the other wants…

You might have felt this in our “Call To Love” that we shared this past week on Juneteenth and you know that a core part of the Eden Ethos revolves around unity consciousness. In our next community call this week we will be continuing our exploration of diversity and evolutionary unity by turning our attention towards diversity of gender and sexual expression.
There is rich territory for us to explore in how we hold our gender identity.
There can be a powerful evolutionary opportunity when we learn about other perspectives on gender and sexuality that can expand our Coupledoms beyond the stereotypical man-woman struggles into whole new conversations.
Join us for a community call exploring the value of having a “yes and…” inclusive approach to expanding our consciousness and expanding this community. We’ve invited Sanctuary couple Tani & Leslie to come facilitate this conversation as they both have deep connections to the evolutionary medicine of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Tani and Leslie, founders of the Light Dark Institute, are advocates for inclusion of all kinds.
We will also be discussing the idea of adding a third council to the ranks of the Council of Queens and Council of Kings, that could be called “The Council of Infinite Beings”.
