Crucible® Approach: Integrating Sex and Spirituality

People everywhere are eager to reconcile their spirituality with their sexuality. Many have grown up in cultures where superficial acceptance of sex has masked an abiding suspicion of desire, and prudery often masquerades as piety. As adults, many of us seek a sex-positive spirituality and self-transcending sexuality. Dr. Schnarch shows how Life’s crucibles can make us capable of both the profound sexual desire and the mature spirituality we seek. Integrating Sexuality and Spirituality is positive, practical and uplifting. It is a heartfelt invitation to explore your own sense of spiritual connection.

This 48 minute keynote address was delivered at the 1995 British Columbia AIDS Conference. It honors the memory of Ted Urban, Dr. Schnarch’s close friend for over 30 years who died of AIDS, offered in remembrance of his kindness and friendship.
