Can You Be Incredibly Happy & Single?

by Amara

What’s the first image you see when you think of Elena Kagan, the youngest woman ever nominated to the supreme court of the United States? Is it of a sexy, available, incredibly successful woman about to land one of the highest positions in the world?

I doubt it. Whether fair or not, Elena’s body, haircut and demeanor declare another message. She’s, dare I say it? Unmarried.

It’s fascinating. Her colleagues agree she is arguably the most intelligent woman they have ever met; yet it’s the whispers that tell us what really intrigues us about Elena. Is she secretly gay or just unable to snag a guy? You could say she’s slightly plump and relatively bland looking. At 50, has she crossed over that invisible female line of being single (desirable and still in the hunt) to being unwanted, or worse, unable to marry?

 Her image, especially the part about being too smart to get married is enough to churn the stomach of any unwed, remarkably intelligent woman. While the single and smart cloud that wafts around her probably wont prevent her from landing the job, it’s amazing to see how it is her relationship towards men that defines her beyond every other brilliant thing she’s ever done.

It’s like the dowdy versus the girly daughter. Sara Palin versus Elena Kagan. Which does Daddy like best? One he adores, the other he respects. The bubbly girl is seen as happy (at least while she is young), while the other as perpetually wanting.

What woman has not had to defer to the buoyancy of other women while doubting her own intelligence? How often do women settle for ‘respect’ whenever we do not feel attractive enough?

Is this just another shade of the old feminist gripe against those enamored by sex appeal over brain appeal?

I think it’s deeper than that. Perhaps with Elena we are witnessing the emergence of another type of femininity to the forefront of our newspapers and minds. Personally, I resonate with Miss Kagan because she stretches and even flaunts the established notions of feminine beauty.  She’s different than the more untouchable figures of Janet Reno or Janet Napolitano, whose build (and hair styles) could be compared. There’s something spicy and unpredictable about Elena. There’s also something mysterious and cautious about her. To me she seems like the cat, who at first glance looks like the runt of the litter. But as soon as you hold her, you know there’s only one kitty in the world for you.

God knows what Elena really feels about all this. If she gets accepted into the club of nine her dating prospects don’t exactly get better. My hope for her is that as she enters those chambers of justice, she finds a way to anoint her bedchamber too.

Perhaps she will chip away for us the stigma of singledom and become a noble icon for the unwed. Instead of being, as one of my favorite authors, Maureen Dowd, put’s it, “that dreaded over-the-hill, out-of-luck, you-are-finished, no-chance” old maid with the “aroma of mothballs and perpetual aunt,” she will surprise us with another face of feminine brilliance.

I hope she puts a flashlight on our greatest fear to show us that loneliness is merely a state of mind. Can anyone be single and downright happy?

If you do not ‘have a partner” at the moment, bang the gavel and say ‘Yes.’

Although finding someone to live happily-ever-after with is undeniably lovely, it’s always temporary. In any case, whether she sits on the supreme bench or not and whatever on earth her opinions are, I nominate Elena Kagan a Queen.

Imagine that sex is natural, sacred and beautiful.

A Shamanic Approach to  Spiritual Sexuality.
A transformative series of shamanic teachings, guided exercises
and ceremonial experiences.

For singles & couples

Phoenix, Arizona

January 14-17, 2010

Thursday afternoon – Sunday evening

QUODOUSHKA 1 : What it’s all about:

Experience how the gift of your sexuality is your most
powerful resource for full self expression, health, hope,
happiness, harmony and humor.

The first level of Quodoushka is all about you!  Your own sexuality and how this incredible “catalyst” energy is
actually life itself.  Through the shamanic wisdom of an ancient Matriarchal Medicine Society you will learn about energy
laws that govern everything we do, starting with the beauty and power of your own sexual energy.

Through an your understanding that male and female sexual energy is the source of all creation and inspiration, you will learn how to gain sexual health, hope, happiness, harmony and humor.  As you learn how to raise your sexual energy you’ll discover the gateway to connection and spirit – and even come to understand that your sexuality can become your natural blissful path towards enlightenment. These remarkable ancient teachings take you on a journey of self discovery of all the levels and types of orgasms. You’ll discover what is your own “genital sense of self” and learn how to bring greater pleasure and knowledge into your entire life.

What Q Graduates Have to Say . . .
I’ve done all kinds of transformative work. Nothing has given me the kind of direct access to my naturally
powerful, loving self like the Q1. I recommend this course for any human being who knows there is more to
their lives and power than their traditional‚ western education. The Q1 beautifully captures, conveys, and
makes available to western ears what sages have said about sacred sexuality without being abstract or weird.
Thank you for the gift of my true sacred sexual self! C. Lambert, Consultant, Phoenix, AZ (Jan Q1 2006)

I have been engaged in personal and spiritual exploration and growth for many years and have taken many
courses, workshops and seminars. While most of these have been effective, the Q1 went right to my core. It is
intuitive and true and has helped me discover much about myself. I have a new freedom and a wide new world
to explore  and grow. It is my new path for growth and I look forward to the next teaching. Willy Korp,
Information Systems Engineer, Phoenix, AZ
An essential life training for all human beings whatever  age. A much needed teaching to clean up the
current mess/confusion around the whole area of sex/sexuality in society. I will be suggesting to my
daughters that they attend Q1 as a basic life skills/education program. An essential teaching for all
couples in relationship, entering relationship or exiting relationship. Plus, much more. Words cannot
describe the importance of this teaching to mankind. Bruce Irvine, Company  Director, Auckland,
New Zealand

Having over 30 years completed a myriad of workshops, this is by far the most powerful useful‚
workshop for embodiment of a joyful blissful life.    Diane Ryan, Psychotherapist, Brisbane, Australia

One of the most profound sexual healing trainings I’ve done. The usefulness and integrity of the
material is a great gift. Anna Marti, Sexual Intimacy Coach, Seattle,  USA
My sexuality exploded this weekend.  I saw more, learned more, felt more, experienced more than I
ever have in my life! Alene, facilitator, Prescott, AZ, USA

I was completely moved by this experience. My sexuality has been reawakened. I feel as though a
weight has been lifted as a result of the healing that occurred here. I feel alive and energized. Peggy Hedstrom, Executive Director, Calgary, Canada (Jan Q1 2006)

Truly an amazing weekend. Profound is not enough of a word to describe these teachings. World
leaders should all be required to go through this in order to lead the human race.
Jim, business owner, LA,  USA

WHAT I ENJOYED THE MOST . . .

What I feared most gave me access to my greatest joy and passion . . .

The staff were impeccable – their love, humility, generosity, wisdom and magic allowed miracles to become the natural expression of life . . .

Openness . . .

The slow safe way that the container was created . . .

I felt very served, provided for and supported . . .

Loving kindness . . .

Professionalism, intellect, fun, energetic, kindness . . .

I greatly appreciate the immaculate and high level of intellect and spirituality . . .

The sacred honoring space that was created for healing and actualization . . .

The energy generated and the (several) totally unexpected revelations about my individual space in this universe . . .

Extremely professional . . .

A tremendous amount of wisdom which was shared in a beautiful ceremonial way . . .

No other experience in my life has accelerated my personal journey towards being sexualy fulfilled  . . .

A beautiful safe space which allows me to heal the past, explore the present and look forward to my future journey within my sexuality and expression . . .

These teachings are an exquisitely beautiful and profound experience. I am so deeply touched and grateful to those teachers who share this knowledge with such beauty and respect.

Yummy Yang: All about male sexual potency.

Yummy Yang was by far the best Goddess Way class yet. But of course, the topic was Yummy Yang! It was all about the benefits of semen, the secrets of increasing male potency, how to strengthen erections, ejaculations and help men feel amazing. I must say, this circle of women was the most fantastic and FUN group I have EVER shared these teachings with. The room was buzzing with sweetness, passion and reverence for men, male energy and the Jade Stem.

What’s a Jade Stem?
I brought in several Jade Penises, and then of course someone said ‘pass them around!‘ Well, that was it. The class went into hyperlove-drive. Who knew? Penis envy? No way. Penis Devotion just came shooting out…

Coming Soon to a Temple near you:
A New Certification Program at the Phoenix Goddess Temple

The Goddess Way Series was just the beginning of courtesan training to see if women were interested. Well, interested just doesn’t quite capture it. Ecstatic is more like it. The new Goddess One certification program will soon be offered at the Phoenix Goddess Temple. Stay tuned to hear about the amazing instructors who will be joining divine forces. Our goal is to become the leading international school of courtesan arts and Goddess spiritual sexuality. Plus, there will be awesome courses for men too. More soon…

The Vision of Sacred Temples
The idea of restoring feminine sexuality teachings has long been a great dream of mine. To be part of introducing these sacred sexuality teachings, and to have women delighted and hungry- all kinds of women- was completely inspiring. Thank you to all the women who attended the first Goddess Way classes. A special thanks to Madame Traci, whose vision, tenacity, grace, panache, and hard work I truly respect. Your support and enthusiasm will ensure more of these Shamanic Tigress teachings will soon be offered.
