Hot, Wild and Sacred — A Journey with the Archetypal Feminine (INTENSIVE)

What I love most about this work is watching people remember themselves. When the wild and sacred are welcomed together, something softens and something powerful awakens — a deeper permission to be fully alive.

It’s time to let out your wild sexual feminine — whatever body you live in. She is the one who helps us remember the miracle of being alive. She is the part of us who dances in ecstasy, who weeps for days, who longs to feel everything: the pain, the bliss, the rage, the desire, the longing, the fear. This is the space where all of her is welcome.

 

In order to bring her fully alive, we first reclaim the parts of ourselves that were lost — our innocence, our erotic connection to nature, our trust in the sacredness of our own bodies. From there, we let her rise.

 

This intensive is an embodied exploration of the archetypal feminine as a living force available to people of all genders, bodies, abilities, and experience levels. You do not need prior experience in tantra, movement, or intimacy work — only a willingness to meet yourself with curiosity.

 

What we’ll explore:

We will journey through the connection between emotion and sexuality, desire and devotion, eros and aliveness. Practices may include:

Embodiment practices rooted in somatics and body awareness

Ritual, breathwork, sound and movement/dance

Energy orgasm and subtle energy exploration

Sex Magic as a way of working consciously with desire and intention

Archetypal inquiry into the wild sexual feminine and her shadows

 

How we work:

This is a participatory, experiential space that balances:

Solo practices for deep self-inquiry

Paired exercises (always consensual and optional)

Small-group exploration and witnessing

 

Some practices involve strong embodiment and can be physically or emotionally activating, while others are slower, meditative, and reflective. Everything is offered as an invitation — never a requirement.

 

Important practical details:

Open to all genders, sexual orientations, and levels of experience

No prior training required

Participation is always optional; you choose your level of engagement

Optional nudity may be invited in certain practices, but never required

No explicit sexual activity is required; the focus is on awareness, embodiment, and energetic exploration

Exercises may include movement, sound, and emotional expression, but can be adapted to different abilities

 

What participants often receive:

This work is less about performance and more about inquiry. Rather than chasing a particular peak experience, we practice listening to what arises — sensation, emotion, resistance, longing — as a form of meditation and self-discovery.

Participants often leave with a deeper connection to their body, a more trusting relationship with desire, greater emotional permission, and a felt sense of belonging to something larger — to earth, to community, to life itself.

What I love most about this work is watching people remember themselves. When the wild and sacred are welcomed together, something softens and something powerful awakens — a deeper permission to be fully alive.

My Lovers, Human and More-Than-Human (INTENSIVE)

How can we expand the Desires that emerge between human beings to include a sensuous, multi-directional relationship to more-than-human entities, even to the space itself? In other words, how can we cultivate a consensual erotic relationship with the world at large? 

What if the Earth were not (only) our “mother”, who gives unconditionally and can be taken for granted, but a LOVER, with whom we co-create a mutually respectful erotic connection?

In this intensive, we will begin by working somatically, with processes such as the digestive system – fundamentally connected to both desires and boundaries – in order to support the emergence of a complex, embodied intersubjectivity. We will also explore exercises around intimacy and consent, drawing from conscious sexuality practices like tantra or BDSM, looking for that deep state of consent that is not only an act of saying “yes” or “no”, but a continually unfolding “con-sentire”, feeling together. Nudity and explicitly sexual interactions are possible within the intensive, but not at all required. We will move very slowly, and the well-being of all participants will be centered at all times. We will explore how boundary makes relationship possible; to others, to our selves, to the world.

We will then bring our awareness to our relationship with the space itself, asking not only, “what do i desire of the space?”, but also “what does it desire of me?”

The intensive is open to all genders, abilities, and experience levels. It draws heavily on my current PhD research around sexual, mystical, and choreographic practices as tools for experiencing a consensual erotic relationship to the world. It is informed by dance/choreography, Body-Mind-Centering, philosophies of perception and language, and ritual practices. It honors the pioneering Ecosexuality work of Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens, while also taking a few steps backwards and slowing down: marrying a tree can feel several steps too far removed from our everyday reality, so we will ask the question, “how do I bring my body to the point where I would even start to develop an interest in a relationship with a tree?”

We will encounter the other in a way that invites them to inhabit their own subjectivity, whether that other is human or not.

KuddleKlub

Consensual, snuggly interactions, consent 101 and a whole lot of supportive fun!

Tell me what you want,
what you *really really* want.

When you ask for a hug
or offer to cuddle…

What are you craving?
Closeness? Comfort? Warmth?
“Something more”?

Not your usual cuddle workshop!

A container to explore a platonic horizontal intimacy rooted in slowness, presence, attunement and playfulness.

An invitation to release pressure and performance, tune into your needs, wants, and won’ts, and experience intimacy as nourishment and play.

A practice of honest communication, consent & boundaries, exploration, collaborative snuggle orchestrations and free flow.

This workshop includes intro talk, consent agreements and communication practice, grounding meditation and embodied presence, group sharings and collaborative snuggle orchestrations in small pods, free flow and big group sharings. KuddleKlub is a non-sexual sex-positive workshop. Arousal and excitement are welcome. Touch is optional, negotiated, and consent is reversible. Sexual (génital) touch is not part of KuddleKlub.

Touched by SoundThe Sonic Erotic Choir

A collective, naked journey through sound and movement meditations, from animal calls to transcendent chanting. In this workshop, we move and vocalize together through embodied physical and vocal scores, realigning the voice and body through the principles of evolution.


We will re-discover
extended vocal techniques, circle songs, screamcore, group sounding, and the verbalization of collective psychosomatic experiences. Through slow technique, specific time based scores and group exercises, we create an intimate and psychedelic sonic space, culminating in a sound orgy that closes with an intimate exploration of singing into the body, fully clothed.

This workshop is nude, though not touch-based, touch may emerge organically as part of the experience and you will have the verbal physical skills to take care of your boundaries. This is an invitation to explore and embody new possibilities for sound and movement.

 

DJ Moss & Ecstatic Dance 

A guided warm up dedicated to high intensity movement and trance forms that emerge from your own need to move and express yourself how you want. Warm up will be followed by free flow dance to get the day started with a DJ set by Moss.

Grief Ceremony

It is important that space is carved out within the retreat.

The Oracle

 

“What if you are holding the piece that I’m looking for?”

The Oracle is a semi-structured ritual space for collective emergence, reflection and processing what is alive in the group. It’s a group process that has many uses and is capable of showing us layers of truth that perhaps we were not aware of previously. (www.oracleprocess.org)
