Hi David,

How's your new year unfolding? How are you? How's your tutoring going? It was really great to see you in DC. And thank you for a very nice dinner!

Brainstorming, how would HAI workshops work in a #RealisticVirtualHarbin I wonder? Human Awareness Institute's 'Love Sexuality and Intimacy' workshops have been central to Harbin Hot Springs since the 1970s (and in another form since the '60s with Stan Dale, I think. In my "Naked Harbin Ethnography" book, I've included my interview with Harbin's founder Ishvara in 2008 where he touches on some of this). With your and your landlord's interest in HAI workshops, and from the Washington DC area, a whole new creative dynamic could emerge in exploring them online {~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg ~ with Second Life conceptually, but moving toward realism}, I'd think. Thoughts? 

Such online HAI workshops, or similar, and named something new perhaps, could potentially complement on-the-ground HAI workshops such as in DC (and far from Harbin), I'd think too, and possibly offer alternative cultural approaches to some of the junk that might arise with them otherwise. Appreciating the Awareness word in the HAI name re consciousness and >learning< love, sexuality and intimacy. Pretty rad idea-wise, but I don't know HAI's history or track record (in the Now) something I might seek to diverge from online somehow, but which might now be as interesting in virtual reality, as in reality  ... :)

Did a Youtube search on Human Awareness Institute's 'Love Sexuality and Intimacy' workshops, as well as on Stan Dale, and found the following HAI talk and culture ... interesting language ... and re my unfolding actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic project, esp ... HAI seems to have taken sex education from the 1960s forward to a degree of sophistication ... and California's Harbin culture seems to support and inform this.

At 5:30 here - https://youtu.be/T3BrTWu3myA - I recognize and know the woman on the right, from Harbin, and who asked to be taken off the World Univ & Sch's email list 2 or 3 years ago ... (am not sure why! ... sex trade questions come to mind ... and re ethics' questions ... ) Yet HAI seems too to create a culture of hope and potentiality around powerful emotions and experiences of love, intimacy and sexuality ... what an interesting cultural creation ... and how will HAI develop after the Harbin valley fire of September 2015, and at Harbin, other places around the world ... but especially online? 

Would appreciate it too if there were a focus on friendship in HAI sales' pitches (I'll call these below, in part). Tweeted about some of this:

David, 

Brainstorming-wise and following up, I think online HAI workshops, conceptually, could dovetail with creating online Angela and Victor Yoga workshops, and I.T.-wise - since

... it can be hard to get to these places A) Harbin Hot Springs, and B) Lesvos, Greece, and

... both have been taught at Harbin, and

... both are learning-oriented (and right out of the 1960s and '70s as well :)

... and re the Sexuality wiki subject at World Univ & Sch as well - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Sexuality
 - check out the MIT OpenCourseWare here

... and for ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy as well, where all of us people (ethno) could quickly add or edit (wiki) a virtual world (think Google Street View with SL) to co-represent (graphs) HAI workshops, Harbin Hot Springs, and Angela & Victor Yoga workshops.

Cheers, Scott
