Your teachings will profit thousands of students. And, as the students make your teachings their own, you will be contributing to the evolution a happier and more loving world.

Effective Somatic Learning

Student learning is of utmost importance to us here at the New School. We live in a world with too much teaching and not enough learning. As sex educators, we need to know the optimum conditions for authentic somatic learning. When we are offering classes, video education, and even individual sessions it is important to evaluate the effectiveness of what we offer. Intimate group experiences and new erotic experiences, however valuable, do not necessarily lead to learning. How do we best further our student's learning?

Embodied Learning

We know that one pre-requisite for somatic learning is an acute awareness of one's body in the present. Somatic educator Ed Maupin, Ph.D., describes embodied learning well:

"Education itself is radically altered by embodiment. What characteristics would we expect embodied education to possess? The embodied state implies the "embodied learner," who, once aroused, is the Real thing: a human being in touch with essential, core responses. The appropriate education for such a learner is obviously student-centered. The embodied learner can answer the question, "what do I want to learn?" Everything which innovative educators have evolved in the way of "self-directed learning" should work with them, because they can become aware of themselves in this way."
"Students can be shown techniques, but ultimately they must devise their own: the lived body is the key to intuitive knowledge."

So we invite all of your teaching to be student-centered and self-directed, to draw out the student's own intuitive knowledge. We know the learning takes place in the student's body. So all tutorials, streaming video, and other sex education should inspire the student to actively explore what is erotically possible.

Gathering of Teachers

How do we best provide embodied web-based teaching that leads to real learning in student bodies? Since this is a relatively new field, we want to explore together how to best facilitate learning online. All teachers are invited to participate in the group inquiry "Erotic Somatic Education" in the Forums. Both inside the forum discussion and in other communications, we welcome sharing of wisdom and experience - so that together we can create the best possible learning experiences for our students.
