Exploring Sacred Practices of Erotic Liberation
Through workshops like the '30-Day Porn Cleanse,' participants explore their relationships with erotic practices and media, uncovering underlying emotional patterns and behaviors. By fostering self-awareness and self-compassion, individuals in the class confront feelings of grief, shame, and avoidance linked to their sexual habits. Craig emphasizes the importance of creating intentional spaces for exploring pleasure, cultivating self-touch, and reclaiming agency over one's erotic experiences.
Looking Forward: Personal and Organizational Growth

The Body Electric continues its mission of offering diverse and inclusive spaces for exploring the intersections of pleasure, embodiment, and liberation.
Craig’s journey of erotic and sexual embodiment and liberation is a beautiful trajectory of love, service and dedication. His transformational spiritual/erotic experience as a participant in a Body Electric workshop, lead to assisting, then teaching and eventually directing The Body Electric organization, guiding it to new realms of inclusion and expansion. He shares candidly essential elements of his various experiences as a participant that became the ingredients to sacred space-holding as a coach, teacher and director.
