oh, nice. Since you put it like that, yes I do need to speak up- just unsure how to start. Thanks for replying. I havent found any reference to Harley Reagan on the two websites I've posted links to, just a lots of references to Chuluquai Quodoshka. The names I posted also come up on a number of other threads here, which was why I was unsure whether I'd come across the right group or not. They seem to have morphed a little....
Here are the blurbs from the Facebook invites:

Sunday, 2nd October 10am - 6pm
THE ORGASMIC OCEANIC BODY TEMPLE OF THE FEMININE
A day of women’s teachings and dreaming with a Goddess mesa — a table of power to reveal the mystery and wisdom of the feminine within your body.
As a single atom contains all the secrets of matter, the body contains all the secrets and wisdom of the Universe.
You have within your matrix, at the center of that matrix, the physical. It is dreamed into recognition here to be seen, and felt, as the holy temple that it is.
You owe it to yourself and to all with whom you come into contact this respect of the body that says: Touch me and you touch the Goddess. Touch me and you touch the earth. Touch me and you feel the moon. Touch me and you know the stars . . .
It is the greatest imaginings of the Great Creatrix, Wahkahn, for she knew that from you she could birth her most precious of all creations — human — and that within you all creativity, all actions of empowered imaginings, all fulfilments of imaginative creations, are yours for the asking.
But none of this can be accomplished if you do not have respect for your body, and the only form of that respect is worship.
When a woman makes friends with, takes care of and falls in love with her feminine form, her body, something happens. Her innate body wisdom simply flows. Nothing else is as wise and as complex as the body.
Allow the wisdom of the body.
Be receptive to its rhythms.
As a woman, your whole body is an orgasmic wave, an orgasmic ocean. Body, emotions, mind, spirit, soul are different rhythms and wavelengths of the life-force energy.
Become deeply acquainted with your body wisdom.

I feel really sad about the locals they've involved in promoting this stuff. They're fantastic people and I can see they're being used. They'll reach out to a lot of folk, because they have the trust of many through other events they've organised. One of my fears about speaking up is that I wont be believed or heard. This is a relatively small community, and lots of alternative workshops come and go without any major dramas. But yes, absolutely, if there is a risk of people being abused or traumatised I need to say something to someone. Any links to newspaper articles, etc, that definitely name this group would be great because I will send it on and do what I can.
