The Unique Wisdoms of Female and Male Sexuality: How We Differ and Why It's Important
2:00 pm - 5:00 pmAs a species, human beings healthfully express sexuality, bringing passion and creativity in a myriad of ways. It has been a source of creativity and joy as well as the cause of pain and trauma since the beginning of our existence and it has evolved, as our brains and bodies have, over millions of years. No matter how or with whom we express this aspect of self, there are essential truths about our sexual nature, rooted in and explained by our medicine, that are important to understand. Living in alignment with this wisdom improves health. Living out of alignment enforces disease. In this class, Dr. Felice Dunas will discuss the energetic dynamics of our masculine and feminine natures and how they can be used to contribute to life and healing. She will present case studies from her practice demonstrating how sexual symptoms are caused by and at the effect of the condition of chi and the internal organs. She will discuss sexual orientation as viewed by the lens of CM and will share action steps that you, as a sexual being and as a clinician, can take to utilize this great resource for yourself and your patients.2021
