What's Eating You?
A workbook for teens with anorexia, bulimia and other eating disorders
 
 by author Tammy Nelson
 
Re-release May 2008

Book Description


In a country where a woman over a size 4 rarely makes it onto the cover of a magazine or onto our TV screens, it's not surprising that eating disorders are so prevalent in girls. Whether it's anorexia, bulimia, or binging, eating disorders are destructive and potentially deadly. What's Eating You? helps teens develop the self-esteem and self-acceptance that so often eludes girls with eating disorders. It teaches them how to overcome perfectionism, understand the role that family patterns may play in their eating disorder, and change negative self-talk about their body. As importantly, What's Eating You? shows teens that happiness comes in many sizes.

This book, released in 2003, is now being re-released with a new cover by New Harbinger Publications.  To order on Amazon, go to:

And God Said, "Just Do It"
Thursday, Jun. 26, 2008 
 
In an article in TIME on June 29, 2008, Tammy Nelson's new book "Getting the Sex You Want" is quoted as a resource used to improve marriage in the directive from the Rev. Stacy Spencer and his wife Rhonda to the  252 married people at their New Direction Christian Church in Memphis, Tenn. When New Direction launched its "40 Nights of Grrreat Sex" program, the Spencers discovered the book in their campaign to improve the sexual relationship of their congregants. 
 
David Van Biema, the author of the article called "And God Said, "Just Do It," quotes the head of New Direction, "Spencer discovered John Gray's Mars and Venus in the Bedroom and Getting the Sex You Want by Tammy Nelson." This past month, two couples released books about their attempts to have sex every day for a year, and every night for 101  nights.   
 
The issue of sex in committed partnership is in the forefront of the news today, and "Getting the Sex You Want" is a timely and important contribution to this movement.  A guide to help couples begin to communicate about their sexual needs, and bring passion and vitality to their love lives, Tammy Nelson's new book helps improve relationships.

******************
 Tantra Workshop Coming THIS FALL
 Experience the Benefits of Tantra with
Mark Michaels & Patricia Johnson 
 
Mark & Patricia Johnson are well-known authors and teachers of Tantra.
 
We are pleased to have them join us for a Tantra Day-Long Intensive Saturday, October 25th 11:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
in Ridgefield CT

Tantra uses sexual energy for consciousness expansion. The workshop will be divided into three segments:

1. What is Tantra?, The History of Tantra, and The Role of Pleasure in Tantric practice
2. The Chakras and Sexuality, which will include information about the traditional Tantric chakra system that is little known in the West. 3. Introduction to the Kama Marmas or the Tantric Erogenous Zones. An ancient Indian system for building sexual energy and intensifying arousal.

This will be a clothes-on workshop. Some exercises involve touch, but we strive to ensure the safety of all participants and people are always welcome to opt out and observe.

Class cost is $125.00 per person for a 6 hour workshop. 
 
A $50.00 deposit per person will be required to hold your space. 
 
Individuals as well as couples of any sexual orientation are welcomed at this workshop.
