Men and Women
INTIMACY: What exactly is it? We all want it, but seem to move
towards and away from it. Shift the cycle and feel closer to yourself
and others, by discovering what's true, what's truly manipulative and
what you can learn about the energetic components of intimacy, in
this exciting interactive way to enhance awareness of and improve
embodiment and communication skills. Discover your deepest truth in
the moment. Great for people who want to enhance their relationships
and capacity for intimacy; couples, singles, employees, bosses, etc.
AUTHORITY: Interested in truly being the author of your life?
Many people feel stuck in a victim mentality and have trouble
stepping into leadership roles because of painful past experiences
with leaders and their leaky ideas about leadership. Clear the decks
and make way for a new way of being: Blair offers tools, tips and
reflections on how to change your inner allegiance to the past and
create an alliance with your highest vision.

Women Only
Blair facilitates a series of empowerment workshops for women. All of
them are "clothes-on" and employ a unique blend of rich
discussion, writing, movement, and drama to help women grow closer to
themselves and each other.
From 2000 -2004, The Vagina Monologues Workshops (Levels I & II)
inspired women to reclaim and be comfortable with their sexuality.
They have since evolved into the pulsating
Sexuality and Embodiment Workshop Series:
Level I: Surrender and Seduction
What is real sexuality? There is so much cultural confusion about our
sexual essence that it is hard for women to embrace pleasure and the
ability to surrender to it, or to seduce and be seduced in an
integrated, healthy way. Learn what keeps you from feeling pleasure
and learn ways to protect yourself from unloving thought and action.
Learn simple ways to recharge your sexual spirit, draw what you want
closer, radiate sensuality and take comfort in your own skin.
Level II: Nature and the Goddess
Level II is offered in a country setting in the warmer seasons for
women who want to take the work to a deeper level. Entitled,
“Connecting with Nature and the Goddess,” level II uses the
experience of nature and of playing with goddess archetypes to help
women explore other sides of their sexuality and become even more
grounded in it.
Level III: WHORE-IFIC!
Level III is for women who are ready to slough off painful
stereotypes, move beyond self-consciousness and into a playful
exploration of the erotic and profane -- while keeping it real. Learn
how to integrate aggression, objectification, and your "bad
girl" into your sexual repertoire
Seasonal Workshops
Blair leads a year-long series of seasonal workshops for intimate
groups of women. The focus of these workshops is growth and
empowerment in line with nature and the seasons. It is ideal to take
all four, as the intimacy of the group increases with each one, and
each workshop offers tools for living in line with the seasons of
life. Held in upstate New York, food and lodging are included.
In 200, Blair is scheduling these privately for women that want to
participate in seasonal pieces of growth. Call for more info.
