Pleasurable Relationships Seminar Series
Six-week seminar, live or over Skype


Drop in on one or more, or come for the whole series!

In six two-hour meetings, teachers from Lafayette Morehouse will answer questions based on more than forty years of living together pleasurably. Each week will have a theme that may provide focus for the questions, but all questions are welcome. You can attend as many or as few of the sessions as you like.

Pleasure in a success oriented world

It may seem as though you have to work, work, work to get ahead, or even just to stay even, and that pleasure is a frivolous pastime. This session, and series, may give you a perspective that will affect all that.

Community without walls

You can create a loving and supportive community, where friends share your life with all its challenges and triumphs.

Romance & seduction

Almost everyone would like to be romanced and seduced - under the right conditions. This session will describe how to have the conditions right.

Fun between the sheets

Whether it's playfulness or passion that you are looking for, you can have it.

Fundamentals of Sensuality

Fundamentals of Sensuality is a one-day course on the nature of pleasure and includes a live demonstration of a woman in orgasm for one hour. The morning session is a lecture, with time for questions, explaining some of the research that led up to the development of this demonstration, first presented to the public in 1976. Also described is the ongoing investigation of the concepts and techniques used to train people to experience pleasure at the level of intensity and duration displayed on the stage. The afternoon session is devoted entirely to the demonstration, which shows that the amount of sensual pleasure available to an individual far exceeds the expectations commonly held in our society. A Morehouse two-hand "do" is described and demonstrated. Students are welcome to ask questions of the woman while she is in orgasm as well as the person manually stimulating her. Students report that witnessing the demonstration expands their willingness to experience more pleasure in their own bodies. Following the demonstration there is a short closing session.

First time students receive a DVD of a coming demonstration: "How to Do a Woman"

Hexing

Hexing is a conceptual game that people are playing unconsciously all the time to control and manipulate others emotional responses. To the extent that you control hexing, you control your universe. The course shows you how to hex and bless deliberately in your communications to create desired effects. Through structured games you learn the power dynamics of social groups and how best to profit from any position. The history, technique, structure and application of hexing in various contexts are also examined. Even though its origins are in ancient ritual practices and it's commonly dismissed as obsolete mythology, hexing is widely practiced in modern society in such areas as advertising, politics, flirtation, medicine, religion, etc.

This course explores menopause as an opportunity for a woman to increase the pleasure in her life, sensually and in her most important relationships.

More Socratic Dialogue (residential)

In the Socratic Dialogues of Plato, Socrates declared "that the unexamined life is not worth living." The More Socratic Dialogue (MSD) course was created to encourage students to extensively examine and communicate about all aspects of life. The course also applies the one no-vote system and the concept of perfection to everyday experiences, with the goal being fun.

This course provides residency in a Morehouse, where students participate in the social experiment of Morehouse. While living with others who embrace the concept of perfection, student participants practice the principles of the More Philosophy in their daily lives and have the opportunity to discuss and compare their findings with other students.

Prerequisite: one course plus The Lafayette Morehouse Experience
Recommended: Basic Sensuality and a Presentation

Third Mansion

During its 40 years of experience in pleasurable group living, Lafayette Morehouse has experimented with a variety of approaches to creating a lifestyle that actually suits the people who live it, including the ability to continue to explore and implement alternatives as times and desires change.

The Third Mansion course describes the results of these experiments so far. Among the topics addressed are: time, sex, money, child-raising in a community and how the group has evolved using the one no vote system.

You will have the opportunity to examine what worked for us (and what didn't) and select tools and options you may want to adopt or modify to create the group living situation of your dreams. This information applies to groups of two or more people.

Also included are some of the elements of life in the Morehouse community, including a party, boxing, tennis, swimming and an hour demonstration of a woman in orgasm. Concurrent enrollment in the More Socratic Dialogue residency course is available for those wishing to live at Lafayette.

Drawing on our more than 40 years of group living, we will answer your questions about the various ways, successful and not-so successful, that we have approached handling day to day life situations: from who is going to take out the garbage to pleasurably accomplishing communal goals to how best to gratify all the participants. The course includes 12 sessions, each devoted to a particular aspect of life in a group setting.

Six months of meetings with faculty advisors are included for students who complete the course and wish to be housemothers of a Morehouse or other group living situation.

Love for Sale, Half-Price

Love has the highest emotional value in our culture, yet to most of us it is surrounded by mystery. Although we revere and desire it, most people feel out of control of it. Many hope their lives will be blessed with love.

At the same time, they fear that it may be elusive or too expensive to obtain, and too difficult to keep up. Many of us don't know how to have love be ever-expanding, without which it is likely to end in disappointment.

Love For Sale, Half-Price offers ways we have seen to bring the love you imagine into your life, at much less cost than you might have guessed, and to have it thrive and grow.

Seeing Magic

Vic Baranco presented the course "Seeing Magic" only once and only to a group of insiders in 1975.

Seeing Magic is a distillation of what Vic's investigation of magic and its practical applications revealed. One of his conclusions was, "Everyone who succeeds uses magic." Various forms of magic have been practiced throughout the history of Morehouse and are to this day.

The first step to using the power of magic to achieve your goals is to recognize it. "Seeing" is a term that Vic used to describe the art of transcending personal prejudice to achieve a clarity of perception unavailable from the first person perspective.

Glimpse of Seeing

"Seeing is admitting what you know. Love is the light by which you see. The quality of your life is dependent upon the quality of action."

In order to develop the Art of Seeing the course will employ the critical analysis of literary and dramatic forms including movies, television, media methods and techniques, advertising, poetry and the students own lives. Through the medium of creative writing and participation in the course project students will attain and demonstrate understanding and use of this art. The course includes the investigation of human emotional response in literary forms and the functions and effects of culture and conditioning. Seeing skills are honed through discipline, successful collaboration and guts. The ability to see is the portal to creativity, intimacy and confidence.

The course sessions are held one evening a week for 15 consecutive weeks. The length of time for each session is determined by how long it takes. Expect a minimum of three hours. Students may anticipate spending up to 24 hours/week on assignments outside the class.

Tuition: $150 to enroll and a $50 lab fee per week.

Sunday with Cindy: the Crimp

"God did his last work on Saturday; it's been Cindy ever since...oops, I mean Sunday."

- Things I've Heard Vic Say, Volume V

Vic and Cindy actively continued their evolving research all the way to Vic's death. Since then, Cindy has gone on to illuminate Vic's insights by giving them the full balance of a feminine voice and adding her further observations.

Cindy has become increasingly aware that there are layers of understanding that continue to expand her experience of joy and fulfillment. In Sunday with Cindy she shares some of her conclusions to date. She describes those parts of her research that have resulted for her in personal breakthroughs in happiness, love, sexual pleasure and embracing change. Cindy shares the processes she has found effective in bringing about these increases so that anyone willing to do the work can reap this bounty as well.

A pivotal subject of the course is what Cindy has named "the crimp". She has found that this product of social prejudice affects and limits all aspects of the lives of both women and men. She has given this nearly invisible set of viewpoints a shape and will show that if a person is simply aware of the phenomenon a new level of liberation and light-heartedness becomes available.

Sunday with Cindy: the Crimp is a video presentation of the original course held in Oct. 2008.

Sunday with Cindy: Saying Yes to Pleasure

There is something in the air, the sense of a growing tide of energy and creativity. Years ago Vic predicted this, that there would come another wave similar to the one we caught and rode in the creation of Morehouse. This wave, used deliberately, offers even more opportunities for greater self expression - emotionally, sensually and spiritually. It's not a return to a former time but a new era of optimism and openings. There is a "yes" where there once was a "no."

We are coming out of a period when a primary social goal for women was to solidify their freedom and not be considered sex objects. In order to gratify women rather than offend them, men adjusted their behavior and denied their desires. This resulted in the dampening down of the urges and feelings of both men and women. It was an on-going process that we each manifested in our own unique and perfect way. This "no" limited fun, not only sexually, but in every way. There is a difference now. There is more freedom now for men and women to enjoy connecting with their own desires, more freedom to profoundly connect with others.

Sunday with Cindy: Saying Yes to Pleasure offers heightened awareness of the subtle shifts already taking place in your own perceptions and desires so that you can nourish them and have them grow, fully engaging you in the glorious adventure of your life. This is the true essence of "more", whatever your life choices are or have been. Cindy and friends will share the tools they have found for deepening intimacy and an ever increasing experience of pleasure.

Saying Yes to Pleasure - with lab

Cindy Baranco's Saying Yes to Pleasure course, first presented live in March 2011, offers a description of how to have more love, fun and pleasure in all areas of life. Cindy identified a recent shift: there is now a "yes" where for a long time there had been a "no." This realization creates a renewed sense of optimism and the power to dramatically alter the perception of your whole life for the better. Cindy also described how to be interested and fully engaged in your relationships and in your life, making them more meaningful and fun.

The new five-week Saying Yes to Pleasure lab course is designed to be a transformative experience wherein you will gain more confidence and proficiency at using the tools and adopting the attitudes that guarantee ever-deepening intimacy in your life. With your partner and others interested in having the best life has to offer, you will watch the entire original information-dense course on video, spread out over four of the five weeks.

The homework assignments and subsequent classroom discussions are designed to open up lines of communication between you and your partner to strengthen and deepen your connection. Your thoughts and experiences have value and you will discover how to communicate them to bring about the intimacy that each of us craves. Seeing yourself and one another more clearly in an environment where you are each found right, will bring a new level of compassion to your relationship and make available unrecognized reserves of love.

In our experience of this process, if you are a couple who loves each other, the spark that you think may have diminished between you will rekindle (and maybe even burst into flames!) A significant friendship may become more meaningful than ever before.

Sharing the experiences of your journey in the classroom and on the confidential on-line student forum (limited to course participants) will create a support group with the same goals: having more fun and intimacy in life.

This course is open to couples who want a deeper sense of connection, or any two or three people who want to take this journey of self-realization together.

Partner (or partners) required.
If you don't have a partner and are interested in the course, please contact the Registrars.

Laboratory Courses



Advanced Sensuality

Advanced Sensuality is a hands-on laboratory course which gives you practical experience in applying information from Basic Sensuality.

You will also learn how to please a partner. It is a safe, structured environment and trained professionals monitor and assist all exercises. There is extensive practical application of the "training cycle" as described in the Basic Sensuality course. Certain ground rules are strictly observed, including: Don't do anything you don't want to do; and don't touch anyone without his or her overt agreement.

The course is normally conducted over a six-week period with one, three-hour session per week and out-of-class assignments during the week. It is also occasionally offered in a weekend format to accommodate students from out of town or those with conflicting schedules.

Advanced Fundamentals of Sensuality explores sexual intercourse with the goal of heightening pleasure for both parties. Intercourse can be a profound, pleasurable and highly intimate experience when shared by equals, each going for their own pleasure with each stroke.

In order to deepen the enjoyment of this sexual act, students investigate winning attitudes, anatomy, engorgement, lubrication and communication. Lectures and in-class exercises combined with homework, encourage the students to explore their own sexual potential. The course reveals how participants are capable of feeling more themselves and of gratifying one another far beyond what they think possible.
