Postmodernism is such a stupid word.

[Az]

Ignorant bull**** sounds insulting.

[Kuciwalker]

Whereas only intelligent people realize that being called "postmodernist" is insulting

This is Post-Hippie, if anything. Bah.

This stuff seems to be dying out on campus. It never made much headway into philosophy departments (well, good ones anyway), and it was mainly the preserve of Literary Theorists (ugh!),

[Sandman]

Read the testimonials and 'faculty area'.

What a bunch of deluded *****.

This isn't an accredited university. It's some little cult job.

This seems like standard new-age stuff to me. Don't really see how it relates to "postmodernism", though...

Ditto. Bash postmodernism on its own terms, but don't confuse it with this. Jean Baudrillard would find this as ridiculous as you do.

It does just sounds like standard pseudoscience babble, although much of pseudoscience has a strong component of postmodernism in it.

They offer a master's degree in tantric sex. Hot damn, I've been wasting my life.

Soul Mate Tantra Training for Lovers - Master's Program

This program takes a minimum of 3 years to complete and entitles you to a Master's Degree in the Science of Tantra and Human Sexuality.

Overview/Course Goals: To give lovers the tools and experience to be able to live in union on all levels -physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual. The more bliss and harmony can be experienced in relationship, the more planetary harmony will become a reality.

What is the secret of transforming partnership into a divine experience? How can opposites become complimentary? How can we live in a state of love and intimacy in everyday life, both in and out of the bedroom?

Through the exploration of Tantra as a couple, Geho and Sarita, the originators of this training, have made some fascinating discoveries on this timeless subject. They found out that it is possible to raise frequency levels, thereby transcending unconscious patterns of relating. It is also possible to attain union not only on the levels of the sexual center and heart, but on all frequency levels, thereby provoking the phenomenon of the Soul Mate. When a couple is able to open the chakra system to a vertical flow of energy, the miracle of grace descending and permeating everyday life becomes a reality. It is everyone's birthright to know this, and it is only a lack of education on the subject which has prevented people from accessing their natural potential to love and be loved in a balanced and blissful way. Sexual union is a door provided by nature to access an ecstatic state of being. The science of Tantra offers methods to open that door with sensitivity and intelligence, taking you and your lover on an expansive, celebrative, journey of transformation.

This training is offered in 7 levels. It is designed to give you time between courses to experiment with the various Tantric Partner methods offered as homework in each level. These methods are given in a sequential order, offering a refined process of deepening intimacy, heightening sensual pleasure, and expanding consciousness. Everyday, as part of the training structure, each couple will go to the privacy of their bedroom to practice a particular Tantra meditation, which includes love making. The dynamics inside the group room include regular meditation sessions, various types of exercise, massage, dance, sharing, celebration, emotional work, sacred Tantra rituals and energy work. In addition to this there is the possibility to receive counselling with the training facilitators when needed.

I wonder if there will be lots of practice sessions
