Integrating Sexuality & Spirituality
A Weekend of Healing & Celebration
for Perimenopausal & Menopausal Women

with Gina Ogden, PhD, LMFT, & Sherri Pominville, MSN, APN

March 9-11, 2012 – Reno, Nevada

Both health-care providers and non-professionals are welcome
This workshop is approved for 12 AASECT CEs

Growing older can be liberating — once we start focusing on what we want rather than how we’re supposed to perform.

This weekend we’ll create a safe, confidential environment where we can welcome the life stage we’re in as an opportunity to explore new emotional landscapes, listen to new wisdom from our bodies, and dare to know what we really want—now! We’ll discuss long-term relationships, late-life romance, and living alone. We’ll examine the role of hormones and overall life-force energy. We’ll discover innovative ways to update our self-image, expand our capacity for love, creativity, and compassion, transcend guilt, shame, and “good-girls-don’t” messages, and heal the sexual wounds of violence, abuse, and compulsivity. We’ll merge the latest research with women’s stories, sacred ceremony, and shamanic journeying.

Our work together is based on three principles:

• Sex is energy—and in this culture we experience only a tiny fraction of our sexual potential.
• Erotic satisfaction begins with self-esteem.
• A supportive circle of women sharing information about sex can be life changing.

Please bring with you two objects to place in our circle—one to represent an aspect of your sexual story you want to keep, the other to represent an aspect you want to move beyond. We’ll introduce ourselves with these objects, and you will take them home with you.

GINA is a sex therapist, author, and shamanic practitioner who brings over 3 decades of experience to her workshops and trainings. Her integrative ISIS Model expands the view of sexual experience to include much more than physical function and dysfunction to reveal how it is intrinsically multi-dimensional: body, mind, heart, and spirit. Her latest books are Women Who Love Sex, The Heart and Soul of Sex, and The Return of Desire. www.GinaOgden.com

SHERRI is a fellow of integrative medicine, who utilizes an Integrative approach to health and sexuality in her medical practice with peri-menopausal & menopausal women.  The ISIS Model has provided a framework to help guide women to a deeper understanding of what this transition period can mean; transforming sexuality from diagnosis to expanded awareness. www.sherripominville.com
