Description

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

Created for queer and queer-questioning people longing for restoration, balance, witness, and aliveness, this small and intimate retreat offers a space to be met exactly as you are. There is room to honor your own pace, your body’s wisdom, and whatever feels most alive for you.

This retreat offers support and opportunities for erotic self-discovery and the transformative power of pleasure. Designed around your individual intentions, needs, and desires, this retreat invites you to choose your own adventure. Participants will have opportunities to explore:

  • Daily morning movement and meditation
  • Practices of self-listening and consent
  • Breath, energy, and nervous system awareness
  • Sensory exploration and pleasure-based practices
  • Small-group exploration and integration
  • Individual sessions with sacred intimate trainees, offering either foundational bodywork or skills-based experiences

In Relationship with the Sacred Intimate Training
In the Garden of Life: The Queer Bloom takes place alongside the Sacred Intimate Training, creating opportunities for shared learning and practice while maintaining the distinct focus of each program.

The intention is for both retreats to nourish one another, creating a wider field of learning, generosity, connection, and belonging.

Shared experiences may include:

  • Shared meals that foster connection and provide opportunities to practice relational and intimacy skills
  • Morning movement and meditation
  • Facilitated sensory and pleasure explorations
  • Foundational sacred intimate sessions

This workshop will take place on the traditional and ancestral lands of the Serrano and Cahuilla peoples.

Facilitator(s)

Alex Jade (they/them) has spent their life curious about erotic embodiment and our bodies liberation through pleasure.
