Who Am I

(refresh for most recent)

George I'm George. I began studying Tantra in 1996, with the Source School of Tantra (Charles and Caroline Muir) and with the Center for Divine Passion (Anna Harvey and Kevin Fortune). I was initially drawn by the way people in the workshops interacted with each other, where nurturing and appreciating each other is the basis for relationships.

I noticed that the lonely, needy feeling I had carried around with me for so long lessened dramatically even in the first weekend ¯-- Tantra addresses those feelings very directly and powerfully.

Soon I was noticing women interacting with me in a very different way. In my "need" to be loved, I had been repelling the very women I was interested in! As that hunger diminished, my other qualities could be seen.

My abilities as a healer, teacher, and coach grew, and women were encouraging me to continue learning and exploring. When the opportunity arose for me to become certified to teach, I took it, knowing that being a healer was becoming a life-path for me.

I was certified in December 1998 to teach Tantra to individuals and couples by the Source School of Tantra.

Tantra is very in tune with my commitment towards healing and awakening, especially for women. Lately I'm active with the Celebrations of Love group, finding my strength and energy are quite welcomed there. I also enjoy the community activities, getting to spend time with some wonderful people in pot lucks, nature hikes, parties, dancing, etc.

Massage has been a favorite activity of mine since my first massage workshops in the early 1980's. Friends have always told me I have a "wonderful touch", and that I am very intuitive and aware of energy. I've recently taken classes to be a Certified Massage Therapist.

In addition to Tantra and massage, I have a career simplifying business processes and improving customer service (especially with computer help desks). I've designed this web site, and was the web master for the Center for Divine Passion. Earlier I did a lot of database programming, and still design databases that improve department's effectiveness while making work much easier for people (but now I let those who love it do the programming, I find it tedious).

I am 43, love learning, reading, hiking, listening to classical music, ballroom and swing dancing, and playing an occasional game of chess.

I live in the San Francisco East Bay. I love the variety of personal growth workshops, book stores, cultural events, and especially the open-minded people.

The personal growth, Tantra, massage, sexuality, and communication workshops I've done include:
