A spiritual memoir of sexuality, devotion, and the teacher-student encounter

Framed as David Deida’s account of time spent with the unconventional teacher Mykonos, Wild Nights connects erotic experience with a search for the divine. The book examines the demands and ambiguities of a spiritual teacher-student relationship while presenting Mykonos’s challenges to conventional ideas of spiritual practice. Its material includes candid discussions of sexuality, passion, and the choice the text describes as opening to love or closing into suffering. It also introduces yogic sexual practices, including circular breathing and expanding sensation beyond the self and toward a lover. This large-print edition presents an explicitly adult-oriented exploration of sex and spirituality through memoir-like encounters and teachings.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adult readers interested in spiritual approaches to sexuality
  • Readers exploring teacher-student dynamics in spiritual practice
  • Those curious about yogic ideas related to breath, intimacy, and devotion

Book overview

Meet Mykonos: scurrilous madman - and voice of truth. Wild Nights presents David Deidas remarkable account of his days with the unconventional teacher who revealed to him the deeper wisdom of the erotic path to the divine. From our very first encounter to the ''burden of bliss'' that is his parting gift, Mykonos challenges our understanding of what makes a spiritual life. Brutally candid, he offers his teaching to anyone ready to listen, with an uncanny ability to see into the hearts and minds of his students better than they can their own. Charged with provocative scenes of unbridled passion and play, Wild Nights explodes with spiritual insights into our choice to ''open as love, or close and suffer'' yogic sexual techniques including circular breathing and expanding feeling beyond the self and into the heart of a lover and why, for some, full sexual expression is a requirement of spiritual maturation. For its honest depiction of the spiritual teacher and student relationship - and the questions it demands we ask about our own sexuality - Wild Nights proclaims David Deida a guiding light in the often cloudy realm of sex and spirit.
