Living Infinite lives as Man & Woman
The Teachings
Family Constellations - Love's Hidden Symmetry
Love thrives not simply through emotion or intention, but when deeper orders—such as belonging, balance, and hierarchy—are respected In this workshop we investigate Love’s Hidden Symmetry in Family Constellations that reveal the unconscious dynamics shaping all Man/Woman relationships that begin with family of origin. By bringing these hidden structures to light, we understand what truly makes love work: honoring our roots, acknowledging what is, and allowing each person their rightful place in the system.
Infinite Beingness in the Man/Woman Game
At our deepest level of our awareness, we exist as a pure consciousness. Some might refer to it an ever-present “witness”; or a constant creator that, simultaneously, perceives and creates the life they live. I refer to this part of ourselves as an Infinite Being in cohabitation with the finite part of us - our body and our ever thinking mind. By simply assuming, even for a short period of time, ourselves as an "Infinite Being", we are able to observe, a profoundly unique perspective between Men and Women seeking union and completion. To live life in balance in the Man/Woman game, is to live with who we are as an Awareness and who we are as Body.
In our workshop trainings will teach how to develop and integrate that infinite part of ourselves as we navigate, as men and women, into love, sex, and intimacy with others.
Healing Love through Sexual Energy Cultivation
Healing Love, are one the core teachings in the Universal Healing Tao, created by Master Mantak Chia. Though we will not be able to teach the entirety of these trainings during our weekend, we will, however, introduce those practices which will enable you to internalize and transform sexual energy, first, as a solo practice bringing mindfulness and consciousness with your body, servicing as a foundation, for entering into practice with a partner. (NOTE: There is no nudity or inappropriate contact in these teachings)
Conscious Loving Touch
Conscious Loving Touch is an intimate sensual (and can be sexual) practice that focuses on bringing intentionality, presence, and mindfulness to physical intimate touch. This approach is rooted in the idea that touch can be a profound form of connection and communication when done with awareness and intentionality. Practitioners of conscious loving touch are attuned to their partner’s physical and emotional responses. This means adjusting touch based on feedback, whether verbal or non-verbal, and being sensitive to the other person’s comfort and preferences.

Movements of Intimacy
Partnership dancing offers men and women a unique opportunity to experience intimacy through touch and synchronized movement. As they step into their opposite yet complementary roles—one leading, the other following—they create a subtle, wordless dialogue shaped by mutual presence and trust. Guided by the rhythm and flow of music, they move together in a shared moment that transcends words, inviting a felt sense of connection, attunement, and harmony. In this dance of opposites, intimacy arises naturally, rooted in the body, breath, and shared timing.

Embrace your Infinite Beingness
as Man & Woman
A Transformational Workshop to Heal, Awaken & Reconnect
(for both Singles and Couples)
"A safe, respectful, and inclusive space for everyone
regardless of age, ethnicity, gender, or sexuality."
We are not just born. We are woven.
Woven from the threads of our ancestors, from the union of our parents, and from the unseen emotional and energetic imprints passed down through generations.
From this inheritance, we carry both gifts and grief — the wisdom and resilience of our lineage,
but also the traumas, losses, and ruptures that shaped their lives... and now influence ours.
💔 Why We Struggle in Love
In our relationships today, we often find ourselves longing for deep connection — to be seen, held, loved. But without realizing it, we bring unresolved stories to the dance of intimacy:
-
The ache of abandonment or betrayal
-
The fear of being vulnerable or truly known
-
The ancestral wounds of exile, poverty, disconnection, or silence
-
The energetic imprint of love lost or never learned
We think we are dancing with a lover, but more often, we are dancing with the ghosts within us.
🌿 The Invitation: Come Home to Yourself
This workshop is a sacred space to:
-
Clear what is not yours — inherited trauma, limiting beliefs, ancestral pain
-
Reclaim what is yours — your sensual power, your open heart, your freedom to love
-
Restore the flow of love in your body, your breath, and your relationships
-
Reconnect to the wisdom of your own body, nervous system, and inner truth
-
Return to your rhythm — rooted, whole, and alive in the now
Through family constellations, interspersed with trainings and practices in intimate connection with others, you will learn to meet others not from fear or habit — but from presence, courage, and joy.
✨ Who This Is For:
"A safe, respectful, and inclusive space for everyone regardless of age, ethnicity, gender, or sexuality."
-
Anyone healing from relationship patterns that repeat
-
Those ready to deepen their capacity for intimacy, presence, and pleasure
-
Individuals or couples seeking to move beyond the past and open to love again
-
Teachers, healers, and seekers called to embody deeper truths in connection
Whether you are single, partnered, heartbroken, or hopeful — this is for you.

- About the Teachers -
Rita Gendelman and Richard Anton Diaz come to the work of Love, Sex & Relationships not only as teachers and facilitators, but as two people who have journeyed deeply together over 11 years as partners—seven of them as a married couple. Though their marriage ended, they remained bonded as family in loving friendship.
Their continued choice to embrace love over loss or bitterness has nourished their individual lives with ongoing growth and evolution.
In their shared commitment to helping relationships “rise in love,” they each bring their individual wisdom and guidance to support men and women in evolving with grace, dignity, joy, and compassion. They offer a path where all endings become new beginnings, where bitterness, anger, and resentment dissolve, and where the choice to love is possible and always available.
Rita Gendelman
Rita immigrated from Ukraine to New York City in 1990, where she lived for over 30 years before relocating to the Big Island of Hawaii. Her journey as a therapist began by working with families parenting children on the autism spectrum. Over time, her work evolved into a deeply transformative practice, incorporating Family Systemic Constellations at the core of her practice.
Rita has guided women devastated by loss, abuse, and abandonment, as well as couples longing to reconnect and return home to each other. Her process honors and releases ancestral pain, reevaluates inherited beliefs, and liberates old patterns—beginning in the dense tissues of the body and expanding into the realm of spirit.
Through this sacred work, that which has long been invisible to the conscious mind, can finally be seen, embraced, understood, and loved. The result is the release of hidden family entanglements that have interfered with jhe natural flow of life. Rita’s approach is rooted in the belief and trust that every individual holds the answer within. From this place, she facilitates the return to one's Beingness and true nature, allowing the human soul to now resume it’s natural, movement upon Life’s journey and beyond.
