Guide at the Threshold
Victor Warring
Somatic Grief-Eros Guide
Victor is a somatic spelunker into the depths of Grief and Eros, inviting individuals, couples, and communities into aliveness, death, continuation, and rebirth.
With intention, curiosity, trembling, fear and pleasure he guides and witnesses people through the smooth and rugged cave walls of transition and into courageous transformation and permission to release, let go into darkness or ascend back into light.
Victor is a somatic sexuality and erotic re-wilder, a relationship and sexuality coach, an intimacy doula, a somatic decolonizer and a grief-eros guide. He weaves a tapestried background of somatic coaching, somatic psychology, intimacy surrogacy, anthropology, movement, improvisational play, art, antiracism and liberation work and ritual/ceremonial guidance. He has been witness, guide and support to people traversing conscious uncoupling and to people transitioning into new relationship forms including non-monogamy, cooperative coparenting, companionate co-habitation and the myriad, undefinable ways that people can relate. He has also been witness and support to people moving through literal, bodily birth and death in the role of birth doula, death doula for family and friends, working with people living and dying with HIV/AIDS and erotic companioning for people in the dying process.
Victor's current interests, practices and writing are focused on the foundational role of Eros & Grief as the nutritive substrate of community repair and intact community.
