He moved to Minnesota and became
involved with several people in
undefined Poly relationships.

loving relationships and exploring how
love can help relationships grow rather
than limiting individual’s potentials.

Janet
Kira Lessin,
P.T.S.,
Director & CEO of the World Polyamory
Association, the School of Tantra and the World
Peace Association leads seminars and
conferences with a focus on the fields of tantra, psychology, relationships, polyamory,
UFOlogy, ancient anthropology, alternative
realties, speculative theories, physics and
peace. Janet has devoted her life to the
healing of the planet. She realizes true
healing originates within each individual and
expands by the power of love till it envelopes
all humanity. |
|
|
She is convinced that
through workshops and conferences like the ones
she leads, conferences that focus on evolution
and spiritual growth ,combined with personal
introspection, reflection and a commitment by
individuals to take responsibility and heal,
humanity can transform and create a civilized
civilization that respects consciousness in all
its diversity. This new paradigm of a
conscious society honors individuality and
creative expression. The paradigm includes
creativity through relationships.
Relationships are a high spiritual path for
growth and transformation--unlike sexual
repression which leads to violence.
Humankind needs to honor individual choice in
regards to sex to evolve to its highest
potential, transcend violence and end war.
Polyamory is a positive, passionate path to
peace.
Janet and her husband, Sasha
are healers, teachers, relationship counselors
and psychotherapists. They've been married,
polyamorously since 1997. They've appeared in
seven television shows promoting polyamory:
Leeza Gibbons, Inside Edition,
Extra, Time Zone International, Talk or
Walk, John Walsh and Penn & Teller's Bullshit
and a documentary, Intimacy. They were
featured in Time, Hustler,
Honolulu Weekly and Playboy
and have appeared on numerous radio shows.
They live in Maui, Hawaii, have an active
therapy practice and school where they teach
tantra, counseling and relationships. They
travel frequently to reach a larger audience,
teach and help those in need.
Janet has written a personal account of her life
as a polyamorist, Polyamory, Many Loves: The
Poly Tantric Lovestyle: A Personal Account
(available in the author's edition) .
