I believe we all crave the deepest forms of romantic and sexual intimacy. We want to experience love that is pure and unconditional. We want to worship those we love and we want to be worshipped in return. I believe we innately want to be able to share what is true in our hearts and be met with compassion and understanding, without being made wrong or told we need to change. I believe we want sex that blows open our hearts and makes us grateful to be alive.
The problem is not our desire to love well, nor our innate capacity to make it real. The reason we struggle is that people know that they want these things, even if they aren’t quite sure how to name them. Very few of us were taught how to create and sustain this type of sexual intimacy. We were sold the myth that beautiful connection just happens. Great sex is a result of natural attraction with the right person. Find the one, and your life will be a never-ending collage of vacations, intimate moments, beautiful children and mutual success.
HISTORY & PHILOSOPHY
For the better part of a decade, John Wineland, an LA-based men's group facilitator, speaker and teacher has been guiding both men and women in the realms of life purpose, relational communication, sexual intimacy and embodiment.

“John Wineland is a true gift to this world and to anyone who is lucky enough to work with him. If you’re willing to show up and do the brave and uncomfortable work that he so insightfully assigns, you will have no choice but to have a completely transformed open-hearted relationship full of love, connection (and sex)! He’s a fiercely loving soul who is equally masterful at acknowledging you without judgment and at the same time challenging you to rise above your habitual cycle of assuming and reacting. In only four sessions so far, it feels like my marriage has completely transformed - I feel loved, desired, heard, and satisfied in a whole new way by my husband, and I feel so much more equipped to express all of my emotions and the deep love I have for him."
—KELLY RAMON, EXECUTIVE COACH, WWW.KELLYRAMON.COM, ST. LOUIS, MO
“There are very few men willing to step so courageously into their fears and follow their life’s purpose to the edge of the world with a wide-open, bleeding, vulnerable heart. John is amongst these few. Having worked with John for years, together as students, as teachers, and as friends, there is no element of this man that lacks truth, passion, or true love for what he does. His love extends far beyond himself and is available for every other life he touches. John’s ability to see through the bullshit and offer guidance with a deep heart connection is the gift he brings to the world. John is an inspiration to me. ”
