I just learned that Stan Dale, founder of the Human Awareness Institute and leader of hundreds
of sexuality/intimacy workshops, died died last week at age 78.
A colleague, Marty Klein, has written a blog post about him that says says, in part:
"...He treated everyone magnificently. He was infinitely patient. He designed a workshop program that healed people and connected them to each other. He created a little international cultural island on which people could be sexual together, transcending arbitrary limits like age, gender, the meaning of fidelity, the definition of â€œsex.â€

And Stan lived authentically, letting people know of his multiple marriage and unconventional sexual commitments."

Since sometimes it seeks like every geek in the Bay area has been to a workshop at HAI, Stan's work is definitely of note--but clearly his life was courageous as well. Tributes herehere.
