Healers and teachers around the USA and Canada are offering ISIS Connection groups based on The Heart and Soul of Sex: Making the ISIS Connection. Their information is below so that you can contact them directly for details about how they might work with you to expand your sexual and spiritual potential.

Each of these practitioners is an experienced group leader with unique creative techniques for discussing the concepts in the book and helping you put them into practice in your own life. Their interests and expertise are varied, and they bring diverse perspectives to the basic idea that sexual experience involves all of you—body, mind, heart, and spirit.

Most of these practitioners have been trained in the ISIS method by attending one or more of my ISIS workshops. Some have been colleagues of mine for years. Others are new colleagues, who have developed a deep understanding of the ISIS concepts through their own lives and practices. All of these practitioners are connected with each other and with me through an e-mail forum so that we can offer each other ideas and support.

That said, please read this disclaimer: I have no contractual or financial arrangement with any of the practitioners on this list—we are collaborating solely through mutual good will and a desire to teach that sexual experience is much more than performance. If you decide to work with anyone on this list I assume no responsibility for any issues that may arise.

Interested in starting your own ISIS Connection group?
If you are a health practitioner and would like to be part of this growing forum of ISIS practitioners, please contact me directly and we will discuss how you might begin your training and association with us. ISISGroup@GinaOgden.com.

You don’t have to have a professional practice to start an ISIS group! You can host your own group of peers—perhaps a book group, or a meeting to discuss a special topic that affects your sexual experience, such as new motherhood, menopause, divorce, affairs, or any number of other topics. If you think I might be able to help support you in setting up such a group, please feel free to contact me. ISISGroup@GinaOgden.com.
