Course Leader and Tuition Info
David Magichands is how he is known to the more than seven thousand people who have done his Basic Bodywork and Ecstatic Touch or Joyful Practical Tantra workshops. “I changed my life.” “It opened my heart.” “Uncovered new abilities in loving and healing. . .” “. . . Put new life into my relationship!” are some of the comments from participants.
David says the wide-ranging tools and states of being employed in his workshops are due to the diversity of wonderful teachers he’s been blessed with. He studied Chi Kung/Qi Gong and healing arts for several years with a living Master from one of China’s oldest Taoist lineages. He’s studied massage and bodywork with teachers trained in the early days of Esalen. He’s been deeply influenced by encounters with Tibetan Buddhism and traveling widely in India.
“Extraordinary experiences in tantra, being trained as a Journey practitioner, being exposed to Native American spiritual practice and spending time alone in some of the most beautiful wilderness in the world — it all finds its way into the workshops, and processes I lead and the coaching I do. My great joy is to be used to assist others to connect to their own power and passion and joy.”
Quotes from Freeing the Goddess Within process participants:
“You have given me a great gift. . .”
“During the course of our sessions I’ve transformed my life from top to bottom. No less.”
“The first fifteen minutes we spent together were the most enlightening of my life. . .”
“My heart was healed. I can celebrate my sensual Self.”
