Sex, God, and money

What if the things we were told to never talk about at the dinner table are key to our collective liberation?

This is an invitation to less shame and more pleasure

Imagine spending your summer tuning in weekly to a community of like-minded, open-hearted individuals, all committed to deepening their understanding and connection to the sacred, the sensual, and their own sacred resources. Imagine releasing the shame, confusion, and discomfort that may have held you back in the past, and stepping into a space of embodied pleasure, discernment, and choice. This is the vision we've created with Sex, God, and Money - a 12-week course designed to help you excavate the roots of personal and collective shame around these essential areas of your life, and cultivate a more conscious and empowered relationship with them. We invite you to join us on this luxurious and transformative journey - a journey of self-discovery, community, and growth that will last long after the summer ends.

01. EXCAVATING

We'll excavate our current relationships with sex, God, and money, and explore how trauma shows up in these areas of our lives.

02. CONNECTING

We'll explore the connections between sex, God, and money, gaining unique personal insights that wouldn't be possible if we looked at these areas in isolation.

03. CHOOSING

We'll drop into our bodies, practicing safety and expansive possibility to make empowered choices about how we want to relate to sex, God, and money - and then take steps to make those choices our reality.

GOD

Both graduated in 2020 from OneSpirit Interspiritual Seminary as ordained Interspiritual Ministers. This program is focused on developing capacity and skills to meet people exactly where they are in their religious and spiritual beliefs, traumas, and questions, and support them in developing the relationship with the sacred that’s right for them.

Ganga’s additional background:

  • Born and raised in an interspiritual Ashram with deep respect for and education in a wide range of religious and wisdom traditions.

  • Study and practice within both the Longchen Nyingthig and Shangpa Kagyu lineages of Tibetan Buddhism.

  • Has spent meaningful and transformative time with Ram Dass and the Neem Karoli Baba satsang.

MONEY

Coming from very different financial backgrounds, unlearning the beliefs and conditioning of our respective youths regarding money has been one of the most transformative aspects of our marriage.

We are committed to economic justice, anticapitalist business practices, and cultivating a form of wealth that supports the thriving of our family, the earth, and all of humanity long term.

Currently we are both enrolled in the certification track of Trauma of Money, which we will complete during the first weeks of Sex, God, and Money. This course has clarified and inspired so much insight into the interconnected systems that keep us all disempowered in our relationships with Sex, God, and Money.

why we're doing this

why we're doing this

As interspiritual ministers, we are focused on helping people connect with the sacred on their own terms, without falling into the ego trap that many spiritual guides do.

When Seth became a sexologist, he took the same approach to helping people connect with their own authentic sexuality.

Now in a season of life focused on financial maturity, including taking the Trauma of Money course and wanting to raise our child with a healthy and empowered relationship with money, we're seeing how the institutionalized. shame around these areas of life are deeply connected - and how addressing them holistically can bring us even closer to our authentic, empowered selves.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

This course is for anyone who wants to explore their relationship with sex, spirituality, and money in a safe, supportive, and empowering environment. Whether you're looking to heal from past trauma, overcome shame and discomfort, or deepen your understanding and connection to these essential areas of your life, this course is designed for you. 

Our ideal students are curious, open-minded, and committed to personal growth and healing, and value pluralism, diversity, critical thinking, and compassion. They are willing to invest in their personal growth and are comfortable with online learning. If this resonates with you, we invite you to join us on this transformational journey.

it's time that we stop feeling
shame and discomfort around
sex, spirituality, and money 

Maybe you've tried to ignore these parts of yourself, believing that they're too messy or complicated to confront. 

Or maybe you've spent years trying to fit into someone else's definition of what's acceptable or spiritual, without ever stopping to question whether it resonates with your own truth.

Wherever you're at in your journey, we want you to know that you're not alone. So many of us have inherited shame and confusion around these essential areas of our lives, and it's time to do something about it. 

It's time to reclaim our power, our pleasure, and our purpose - and we'd be honored to help you do just that.
