At the risk of boring you - Just a reminder of 3 short sharp workshops THIS WEEKEND. Come to one or come to all - your choice. Inexpensive and playful and fun and deep.
FRIDAY 7 pm - 9 pm - ‘Endings’ an opportunity to review, reflect or simply revel in the year as it comes to an end. Using a creative group process we will use in-the-moment opportunities to craft playful and thoughtful responses to life as it is and as we may well want it to be.
SATURDAY 1pm - 5.30 pm - ‘Beginnings’ a further opportunity to envision dreams for next year and step towards those visions, fears for next year and some steps to head those fears off or mitigate the worries or just help you to calm down and reconnect to you. Once again using playful processes to go where angels fear to tread.
SUNDAY 9.30 am - 1.30 pm - 'The Rocky Road Ahead’ - this sessions acknowledges that the xmas period can be problematic for a variety of reasons - what might you need to pack into your bag-of-tricks to make this period a sizzlingly good one rather than just tolerating or shutting down. Or, if it is a great time for you what might be worth letting go so you can really take your place in your life.
As usual no AI has been used of harmed in the writing of this stuff

A fantastic opportunity to gather yourself before the onslaught of Xmas and the Australian Silly Season, take account of your year, and awaken dreams for 2026

The Greek philosopher Socrates is credited with the famous statement that "the unexamined life is not worth living". I've been wondering if the over-examined life is a function of the times so the dictum is driving folks slightly balmy or doolally. Or perhaps the over-examined life allows one and all to not examine the one area that everyone appears to fear. The area of adult s*x and eroticism. I don't mean no one examines it, just that no one examines it in a mature methodical thoughtful fact-driven, resource rich, self-loving manner. Most folks I know developed their ideas around s*x amongst uninformed and misinformed teen peers. You would not be seriously surprised to find that these ideas about about as sensible and useful as the other ones that we have long discarded from that era of our lives.

Anyway, this is the focus of my work these days so please consider the event I have coming up Sunday week and linked here or simply stay tuned for further offerings that will help you to update some of your worries and fears, hesitations and blind spots, around you and dating and s*x and intimacy and erotic life.

Is your comfort zone ready for a refurb?

I'm running a lively workshop that will examine just what your comfort zone is, how it serves you and whether or not you would like to expand it, or have one if it is currently absent. Comfort zones are great, until they aren’t. Just think of the comfort zone of bed in the morning when it is cold and dark and way too early, and you absolutely must get up. We will look at your learning zone, your resilient edges, and what gets cooking between you and others and make sure those edges are chosen by you.

It's a weekend one, face to face, that also leaves time for all those other weekend activities vital to life. December - Friday 6th, 7 pm – 9 pm, Saturday 7th, 1 pm – 5.30 pm, and Sunday 8th 9 am – 1 pm

The workshop will work with the very significant areas of love, s*x, and communication, their interplay and what gets in the way of thriving

On a lighter note, there are still a few spaces available for this weekends workshop 'The Playful Art of Talking About S*x'. If you find that even suggesting such a workshop to a partner send you into the heeby-jeebies or creates a squirm in your gizzards, then maybe this might be for you. It runs from 1-5.30 this Saturday the 6th and costs $28. The emphasis is on playful and if you think of high, medium, or low levels of confrontation or challenge this one is definitely in the realm of low. However finding ways to talk about s*x without producing high blood pressure may be worth its weight in gold.

I get all sorts of interesting bits of this and that about my favourite topic: s*x. Well, actually, it's not so much about s*x as about how folks could have good s*x, mutually rewarding s*x, good s*xual communication, less anxiety about s*x, more s*x, wider varieties of s*x, less isolation about their ideas about s*x, and similar interesting areas. I used to wonder, as an adult educator, how come learning is so damn difficult. Now I wonder, as an adult s*x educator, why learning about s*x is so damn difficult. Well I am not alone so I utilise as many resources as I can from other folks. This one is pretty damn good because it is about older folks having s*x - and by older I mean the kinds of folks that give youngsters the heebie-jeebies thinking about 😂🙄

I've been writing about senior s*x since I was a mere lass of 61 in 2005. All my books are available for purchase in the United States from my website. I'll autograph them for you and, upon request, I'm happy to add a personalized inscription to you or your gift recipient.

Saturday arvo, 1.00pm - 5.30pm, April 6th - $28 - The Playful Art of Talking About S*x with me, Dr Peter Howie. Arvo tea on me.

There is a subject that is difficult for many to discuss: s*x. The difficulties lie in many areas but amongst those many areas there is: loss-aversion (fear of losing what I have or making it worse), potential shame (and who needs more of that), self-recrimination (I should be able to be adult about this), fear of abandonment (they'll judge me poorly and leave), I might make a mistake (I can't talk about it easily), differing definitions of what it even entails, and the classic, that everybody else already knows this stuff so I do not want to appear soooooo ignorant.

When things get this fraught and difficult then play is a good way to go. The playful art of talking about s*x is really mucking around in a lively and friendly manner with the squirrily bits and the 'eek' bits and 'what the ...' bits when trying to discuss this stuff. And if we cannot talk about it we probably shouldn't be doing it.

Come along for some serious adult play with other serious playing adults in a friendly structured and safe environment.

If you've ever found talking about s*x problematic and anything but playful you might like to attend my workshop in Brisbane, or let someone else know who might benefit. It's about learning to talk about s*x in a playful light spirit rather than a worried, 'I have to get it right' spirit. One of my clients told me simply 'If you can't talk about it you probably shouldn't be doing it' and it's quite likely some people aren't doing it because they can't talk about it. Anyway - consider coming along as it as cheap as chips. All the best.
