"In his book 'SEX CAMP,' Brian McNaught ventures into places where most people fear to tread. His searing honesty combines with an overt ability to pose issues about human sexuality that desperately need to be faced, lest we continue to violate those who do not fit our security boxes. I commend his work but only to those among us who are courageous and radically open."Bishop John Shelby Spong:AuthorHere I Stand! My Struggle for a Christianity of Integrity, Love and Equality Thirty-two strangers arrive at a Church-owned retreat facility on Saturday to work with some of the best trainers in the field of sexuality. They're told that by the end of the week, they'll know more about sex than ninety percent of the population. What they go home with on the following Saturday is a lot more than they anticipated or were promised.Besides laughing, crying, swearing, and cheering through films and intimate discussions about sexual values, body image, "self-pleasuring," gender identity, sexual orientation, seduction, abuse, theology, and "turn ons," they faced off with each other around an altar in the woods, under blankets and star-filled skies, bareassed in the water, and with hands joined singing in a circle.Most everyone goes home forever changed. That is, if they make it through the week.The Annual Workshop on Sexuality at Thornfield was called "the world's best kept secret." Now you're in on it. "Oh honey, you should have been there. We had two transsexuals and one cross dresser, and a nun, and two football coaches, and an 'ex-gay' guy, and lots of homosexuals, and we watched films of men and women masturbating and making love, and men and men, and women and women ... and I talked about how you were non-orgasmic, and it was really cool!"- "Sex Camp"

Birth without Violence

$10.47, Free P & P at DeepDiscount.com $4.60, Free P & P at HotBookSale.com $12.78, Free P & P at Barnes & Noble See All Retailers

A revised edition of the classic that changed the way children are met when they enter our world

? The original book that challenged society?s beliefs about awareness in the newborn

? Shows how gentle lighting, a quiet atmosphere, and a warm bath allow a newborn to ease the transition from womb to world without trauma or fear

? Includes a new preface by the author, the founder of the gentle birth movement

Birth without Violence is the first book to express what mothers have always known: babies are born complete human beings with the ability to experience a full range of emotions. First published in 1974, it revolutionized the way we perceive the process of birth, urging us to consider the birth from the infant?s point of view. Why must a child emerge from the quiet darkness of the womb into a blaze of blinding light and loud voices? Why must an infant take its first breath in terror, hanging upside down as its vulnerable spine is jerked straight? Why must the infant be separated from its mother after spending nine months inside her nourishing body?

Examining alternatives to technocentric approaches to childbirth, this new edition of the classic text, complete with a new author preface, shows us how we can ease the transition from womb to world without trauma or fear. Birth without Violence illustrates how to create an environment of tranquillity in which to welcome our children: a relaxed mother, gentle lighting, soothing atmosphere, and a warm bath that mirrors the child?s prenatal surroundings. Dr. Leboyer?s simple techniques demonstrate how a birth without violence has far-reaching implications for improving the quality of human life physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
