What's Possible

  • Experience the body as a laboratory for transformation and a vehicle for liberation.
  • The release of things that hold you back from your full potential including shame, guilt, fear and insecurity.
  • Feel the potency of healing in an intentional community rooted in pleasure and eros.

What to Expect

  • Clear community agreements and boundaries that help cultivate brave space.
  • Inviting a greater connection to Nature to enliven our innate sense of belonging, wildness, and beauty.
  • A mix of embodied practices, and rituals done individually, in small groups, and with the entire group to explore wounds and engage with erotic energy. Exercises such as journaling, dance, breathwork, consensual touch, group rituals, and art may be used.
We often mistake the journey of healing as one that covers over a wound. But as wounds need air and light to knit and heal, our pain and sorrow need to be brought out into the open so we can be healed by life. - Mark Nepo

Description

🌶️🌶️🌶️High Spiciness (clothing optional events that may include sexual touch)

This event is for women, non-binary, trans women, intersex, and two-spirited people of all sexual orientations and gender expressions who feel belonging in women’s spaces.

Join us for this transformational journey to heal ourselves through the medicine of Eros and community care. We will co-create a consent-based, intentional community to do the vulnerable work of laying out our wounds and inviting rituals, community witnessing, and pleasure practices to move through our pain and into personal and collective liberation. This is an intimate space that will require your courage, self-compassion, self-awareness, and care for others.

Many wisdom traditions teach that our greatest wounds can become our greatest gifts if we choose to do the work of moving through those wounds and healing ourselves. This residential program is an opportunity to dive into this experience within a culture and belief that pleasure is healing. Breathe, movement, touch, and choice will be loving tools we use to greet ourselves and each other each day around our wounding.

This retreat is not therapy, though the intention is individual and collective healing. Our unique group will create its own energetics and magic, and together we will dance with the emergent dynamics of our collective while exploring the medicine of conscious Eros.

This workshop will take place on the traditional and unceded territories of the Snuneymuxw and Snaw-Naw-As First Nations.

Facilitator(s)

Elisa (she/they) is all about re-membering (or consciously belonging to)… our bodies, our emotions and our kinship with Nature.
Lizz (they/she) is devoted to radical embodiment, authentic intimacy, and eros as life force. Lizz offers a grounded, heart-centered, non-binary and often rebellious approach to teaching and facilitation.
