My personal Motto: "Travel is the best teacher." And ever since I was in college and read the book "Barefoot Walk-about" also known in America as "Mutant Message" by Morgan Maslow, I've dearmed of traveling Australia. The rich landscape, the magical sound of the didredoo, the aboriginal culture and legends of the dreamtime...It's been a slow psychological seduction.
When I heard that Oz was one of the stops on Baba Dez's Sacred Sexuality World Tour, I knew I had to go. My co-author, Baba Dez is hosting the 2nd annual Austral-Asian Conference for Sacred Sexual Educators this Jan. 8- 10, 2010 in Sydney.
Now I'm going for FIVE WEEKS. And I'll be traveling with my husband and son on his 3 birthday! After being sick for a week and slammed through the holidays, I can't believe our departure date is nearly here! (We leave from LAX on the 6th.) So I need HELP making contacts and plans. While there, we plan to tour, visit, teach, party and co-create with other tantrikas and creative types.
Do you have any recommendations:
of where to go?
Who to meet?
What to do?
Do you know anyone who'd be intersted in experiencing tantra and/or theater while we're there?
Here are some potential events that Dez has scheduled:

By Kamala Devi,
A Conference & Gathering for Sacred Sexuality Healers, Teachers & Practitioners - Australia, Asia, India, Japan, South Pacific Islands, and New Zealand
Who will be there and what will be happening?
The real question is, who will not be there? These conferences attract some of the best in our field as well as returning, well-loved presenters from our conferences around the world over the last decade. Come and meet your spiritual family! Play, share, learn, grow, laugh, cry, celebrate, network, refresh, love and be loved!
Who is invited?
Please join us if you are:
Currently working in the sacred sexual healing arts
In service to the world as a daka/dakini/tantrika
Beginning to realize that your calling as a sexworker has a more sacred dimension
Or desiring to incorporate sexuality into your healing work.
Spouses, partners, family members, and support people/friends of practitioners are also welcome.
If you are not sure, give us a call and ask. This gathering is a delightful blend of innocence and experience, advanced and beginners, from the worlds of tantra, sexwork, sex education, escorting, bodywork, massage, counseling, therapy and spiritual awakening.
Why should you come?
Because sacred sexuality enriches our lives.
Because a career in sexuality is still such a taboo in this society.
Because it is healing to be with peers who understand the unique pressures and challenges of working in this field.
Because you are not alone.
Because we are learning so much emotionally, spiritually, legally, practically, financially, physically, holistically, and it is a blessing to share our wisdom with each other.
Because it is fun to be with people who can embrace and celebrate life.
What will I learn?
We will hear presentations from some of the most successful teachers and practitioners in our field. There will be a blend of presentations, hands-on demonstrations, and group wisdom circles with open discussions.
We also showcase new books and other educational tools as well as screening new documentaries and short films on Sacred Sexuality, its Teachers and Practitioners
