Greetings!
Can you hear the birds singing to you? Are you feeling excited for spring and ready to launch into the many aspirations and joys you envision for yourself this year? Your April issue of The Wealthy Woodpecker contains a variety of gifts intended to help you increase your happiness quotient, so read on!
First, I am inviting you to join me in Nevada City, California this Saturday, April 30th, for a very special event being hosted by Ocean Robbins. Both Time and Audubon magazines selected Ocean Robbins as one of the heroes of the new millennium. He is a 2008 recipient of the Freedom's Flame Award, and of the national Jefferson Award for Outstanding Public Service by an Individual 35 Years or Younger (the "Nobel prize for public service").
Here is your personal invitation from this remarkable man:
Dear Friends,
I am writing to invite you to a free morning of presentations that Tipping Point Network is hosting in Nevada City, CA on Saturday (April 30). For the last five years I have been part of Tipping Point Network (TPN), which is a network of sustainability movement servant-leaders who are visionary thinkers and activists in a diverse range of efforts related to the building of a thriving, just and sustainable future. It includes philanthropists, activists, authors, non-profit directors, social entrepreneurs, trans-partisan organizers, green urban planners, and transformational economists.
We are hosting a TPN Jam this weekend, and on Saturday we are holding a morning of engagement that will include a series of three presentations that are open to our friends, colleagues and communities -- including you! The presentations will be followed by an optional potluck lunch. The program will run from 10-12:30. Descriptions of these three compelling presentations are below. If you like, you are also welcome to stay for a 5:30-7:30 PM pot-luck dinner with the TPN Mini-Jam participants and guests (but if you wish to stay, then please do bring something to share).
We will be gathering at Sierra Friends Center, and if you would like to come to this free program, please RSVP to Ocean Robbins. You are welcome to bring friends, too -- just let us know how many so we can have an idea how many people to expect.
It would be a joy to see you Saturday.
I hope you are well, and send all the best wishes,
Ocean Robbins

Learn how to use anger constructively to enhance your sex life! Sex and Anger are uniquely connected. Unresolved anger is often linked to sexual boredom and low sexual desire in long-term relationships, and can be a huge factor in sexual dysfunction such as erectile and ejaculatory issues.
Veronica Monet will explain the important distinctions between angry sex, make-up sex, rough sex, dominance, and BDSM; how to have constructive conflict and how to manage your anger instead of controlling it or acting it out. Anger Management provides a healthy outlet for anger and rage, providing fuller access to sexual response.
This workshop will teach you the Ten Steps Toward Anger Management and how it can enhance your sex life! This workshop includes: role playing, x-rated power point presentation, demo of some kinky gear, flogging and spanking.
Adults only. |

The Mother of Modern Polyamory, Deborah Anapol, on The Shame Free Zone!
I absolutely loved interviewing Deborah Anapol. She brings so much wisdom, experience and perspective to relationships. Her new book, Polyamory in the 21st Century, even details five different types of jealousy. Whether you are single, married, monogamous or polyamorous you will want to listen to this podcast for insights on how to be happy in love. And remember this is your FREE library of educational and entertaining material pertaining to the erotic and the emotional. Previous episodes include Caroline Muir speaking of The Divine Feminine, Christopher Ryan sharing his findings about monogamy in his New York Times Bestselling Sex at Dawn and research scientist Vanessa Woods speaking about the roots of peace as contained in her Bonobo Handshake.

Animal Attraction?
Flowers are in bloom. Bees are buzzing. And birds are singing their hearts out. But are you paying attention?
I seem to notice things most people don't. It used to make me feel odd. Now I realize my unique perceptions are precisely what enable me to write, design workshops and assist my clients.
One thing I always notice is animals in love. Some scientists still insist animals just procreate but that isn't logical. Mammals don't just have reproductive organs, they also have the same pleasure centers humans have including the clitoris in females and the penis in males.
All vertebrate animals (that includes birds) have a hypothalamus which is where sexual pleasure registers in the brain. If you give a rat a choice between food and sexual pleasure by stimulating the hypothalamus, he will starve to death. And as if that isn't enough proof that animals enjoy sexual stimulation, many have been observed masturbating.
So this spring I invite you to look around and notice the added electricity in the air. Look up and you might see two amorous birds cavorting in the branches of a nearby tree. Take a moment to observe and feel. Does their behavior seem mechanical and perfunctory? Or is their demeanor more reminiscent of teenagers in love?
Open to the idea that all of nature is in love with sex, with love, with life itself. If you can learn to sense this joy contained in all life forms, you will find more of it inside yourself.
I use a very successful combination of education and role playing which will increase your passion for your partner(s) and just about everything else. Email me or text 415.407.2932 today! |

Readers Respond
Dear Veronica,
Thanks to your help, we are now enjoying more sex, more sexual intercourse, more masturbation, more hugging, more passionate kissing, more interest and participation in sex and more sexual desire. Our love making is more spontaneous and more in the moment. And Joan experienced her very first female ejaculation!
You were the catalyst in helping us to see our individual and couple blocks to taking responsibility for our own happiness and success and learning to work together as a team.
I have worked to continue to stay more in the moment, enjoying both my own sexuality as well as staying personally happier. That nexus between love/sex/anger I also believe extends to depression and general feelings of well being. Since we've opened up our communication and authenticity, and both worked to 'stay in the moment,' I feel as though I have a partner and one to whom I feel connected - and this has helped my outlook tremendously!
Your loving but strong support helped me to see that I was not taking my need for Testosterone supplementation seriously enough (I was diagnosed with "Low T"). Since our last session, I have taken responsibility and do see that it is very important for both my own outlook and our relationship, that I consistently receive this treatment. I am now in my third month of treatment.
All of this has strengthened our relationship. There is a lot more touching, kissing, nice conversation, compliments and connection in general! We are more open with our sexuality and interests and play.
We now have a strong "LOVE" foundation! We love each other, want to be with each other, and we do not want to do anything that would hurt the other in any way. This has become a filter for both of our choices.
What we now call our "playground" is anything that can potentially (sometimes we don't know until we try how we will both feel) add to our LOVE and FUN and Life experience that we discuss with each other and try if we both agree. And then either of us has the ability to veto or define limits.
We both feel that we can bring up our individual sexual, sensual and love-making interests to each other and discuss it without fearing that either of us will feel threatened, hurt, etc.
We are more relaxed about our love, play, fun and sex. I feel less pressure to make sex happen and Joan feels less pressure to try to fulfill her own or my interests. We are just moving forward with our interests to find things that meet both our goals.
We are enjoying more intimacy and improved communication. We now share our feelings more openly with much less passive aggressiveness. This has had a huge impact on our romance, helping to launch us into an adult playground where we are living out all our fantasies and feeling excitement and passion we haven't felt in years!
Thank you so much,
Dan and Joan
Los Gatos, CA
