Tantra Massage Body work

Getting your first tantra session or tantra massage can be an exhilarating and beautiful experience. Most people I meet after their first tantric massage have this look of bliss and relaxation while their bodies are at the same time soft, relaxed and yet filled with exuberant bubbling life energy.

What is a tantra massage?

A tantra massage is a full body, relaxing oil massage (that may or may not include genital massage) aiming to awaken...

Getting lucky

It’s just been New years eve and many of you have been out at different parties, dinners and get-togethers. Some of you may have had the aim “to get lucky” and some of you may feel that you did.

It really disturbs me to hear people say that they are going out, hoping to get lucky. It disturbs me even more when I hear someone in a longterm relationship hoping they will get lucky tonight.

Saying that being sexually intimate with somebody is a stroke of luck, seems to me to both devalue and ov...

Theo-Erotic

You may have noticed that the blog changed title. This to reflect the changing tone and content of the blog over the past three years.

As I started studying theology in earnest I started at a very broad spectrum deconstructing and reconstructing everything from creationism to eschatology. Slowly though I realised that the spirituality that really interests me is the spirituality of the every day, the art of being human. I found that the most astonishing facet of Jesus was not his divinity bu...

What is Sacred Sexuality

I have an ambivalent relationship to the term sacred sexuality. Using the word seems to imply that there is such a thing as not sacred sexuality or unholy sexuality.

To me Sacred sexuality simply means that I hold all sexuality sacred. All intimate moments are sacred whether or not we acknowledge that they are. I simply refuse to devalue any expression of sexuality regardless of how and why it is expressed.

Yes there are people who engage in intimacy mindlessly, without active consciousness...

My ISTA Journey

December is often a month of reflection and introspection. I am looking backwards and thinking about the future So much has happened and my life has changed in so many significant ways.

Three years ago give or take a few months I was attending a cosy evening with Alexander Rudenstam and Charlotte Cronquist. They where raving about this weeklong course they had just attended in Guatemala with Baba Dez Nichols. I was of course intrigued but at the same time terrified. As they where sharing the...

I am done explaining and apologizing…

I am scrolling through my Facebook feed and it seems to me that every Christian Network I am still a part of has become a battleground where arguments for and against a positive inclusive stance on LGBTQ issues are wielded as weapons to prove that the other side is heretical.

There seems to be a need for both sides to clobber the other side with words and verses. The conservative side uses “for the bible tells me so” and the liberals are shouting “bigots”.

And I am done!

Jesus said: “This is...

Today I am angry

I am angry at the person who picked up a gun and murdered all those people in Orlando, I am angry at all the people who thinks that any kind of violence is justified in any situation.

I am angry at the Christians who think that anything could justify these horrific actions. It doesn’t matter what they where or where not doing at this club…. There is nothing that could ever justify any violence to any person.

I am angry at the atheists who use this tragedy as an opportunity to spew hate speech...

The straight and narrow

“For the gate is narrow and the road is hard that leads to life, and there are few who find it.” (Matt 7.14 NRSV)

There is this idea, because of this verse, that being a Christian should be difficult and hard and to that effect the church has through the centuries created different sets of rules that one must adhere to to be allowed to call oneself a Christian.

Conservatives have had one set of rules based on their canon within the canon and progressives and liberals a different set of rule...

As far as I am concerned this is the end of your marriage!

It would be quite a rude thing to say in any situation but this came from somebody who is really close to the family. Not from someone who has read a blog post or two or a flimsy Facebook friends but we have never met acquaintance.

This is from someone who where among the first to know we where getting married and who was at our wedding 1999, someone who witnessed when we hit rock bottom at 2004 and someone who visited us in both Riga and London. Someone who has seen all our ups and downs.
