A complete guide to tantric sex in a 3-volume boxed set. In this three-volume boxed set, tantric sex teachers Diana and Michael Richardson present practices to help couples enrich their sex life with the spiritual, healing power of sex. In Tantric Orgasm for Women, Diana explores Tantra from the female perspective, sharing her more than 20 years of research and revealing how relaxation is the key to achieving deep orgasmic states. She looks at how receptive feminine energy influences the male-female exchange, provides ancient tantric meditations and breathing exercises for increased sensitivity and awareness, and explores the role of the clitoris, breasts, and vagina in achieving orgasm. In Tantric Sex for Men, Diana and Michael show men how to move beyond goal-oriented sex and relax into sex as a meditative union of complementary energies. They include foreplay approaches and diagrams of sexual position sequences, explore the relationship-strengthening benefits of deep sustained penetration, and explain how to perform soft penetration and avoid premature ejaculation. In Slow Sex, Diana provides a step-by-step guide for committed couples to explore the healing, spiritual power of slow sex and awaken the body’s innate mechanism for ecstasy and pleasure. She explains how slow sex increases sensitivity and sexual vitality as well as creating and restoring love. Providing illustrations of different positions for eye contact, deep sustained penetration, and soft penetration, she shows how the practice of slow sex provides couples a way to reach a shared meditative state and use it as a vehicle to achieve higher consciousness. Enabling committed couples to develop a personal tantric sex practice, the authors reveal how to keep your sex life sustainable, fulfilling, and enjoyable for many decades to come as well as how to harness the power of sex to access extraordinary realms of sensitivity, sensuality, and higher consciousness.

Emerging from the disruption of the First World War, surrealism confronted the resulting 'crisis of consciousness' in a way that was arguably more profound than any other cultural movement of the time. The past few decades have seen an expansion of interest in surrealist writers, whose contribution to the history of ideas in the twentieth-century is only now being recognised. Surrealism: Key Concepts is the first book in English to present an overview of surrealism through the central ideas motivating the popular movement. An international team of contributors provide an accessible examination of the key concepts, emphasising their relevance to current debates in social and cultural theory. This book will be an invaluable guide for students studying a range of disciplines, including Philosophy, Anthropology, Sociology and Cultural Studies, and anyone who wishes to engage critically with surrealism for the first time. Contributors: Dawn Ades, Joyce Cheng, Jonathan P. Eburne, Krzysztof Fijalkowski, Guy Girard, Raihan Kadri, Michael Loewy, Jean-Michel Rabate, Michael Richardson, Donna Roberts, Bertrand Schmitt, Georges Sebbag, Raymond Spiteri, and Michael Stone-Richards.

Youth Theatre: Drama for Life defines the youth theatre process, by outlining its constituent parts and explaining how these activities work in order to support young people's development. As well as describing what is done in youth theatre, it also explores why it's done and how to ensure the best possible outcomes. The book is in four parts: Part 1 explores the nature and purpose of youth theatre, drawing on Michael Richardson's extensive personal experience as a practitioner and manager. Part 2 explains, in detail, the youth theatre process: warming up, playing games, voice work, developing skills, devising and the presentation of devised work. Part 3 discusses how to create an appropriate environment within which the youth theatre process can be most effectively applied. Part 4 covers the most common applications of the youth theatre process, namely using it in different education environments; and youth theatre productions and performance. On top of this, two appendices give a list of over 60 games that are useful to use in youth theatre; and a list of recommended further reading that supports this book. As well as giving key tips and advice from his own invaluable experience, Richardson offers comments from practitioners and participants on what makes a successful youth theatre experience. Michael Richardson has worked in youth theatre for over 20 years, has been involved in the training of other practitioners, and in the strategic development of the youth theatre sector in the UK.

Georges Bataille is now recognized as one of the most important thinkers of the 20th century. Fascinated by the excessive movement of life, Bataille developed a complex philosophy based upon examination of the interplay between death and eroticism. For him, eroticism was the foundation of human experience, providing a sharp insight into the basis of human society and the response of the individual to it. Largely neglected during his lifetime, Bataille's influence has grown during the last thirty years, first in France and more recently in the UK and the US, where it has often been associated with the rise of post-structuralism and postmodernism. This text argues that his work is often misunderstood and conflated too readily with postmodernism; instead, the author treats Bataille as a multi-faceted thinker who does not fit in easily with any simple categorization.
