Exploring Your Pleasure


Join us for the transformative experience of a women-only, weekend retreat focused on increasing our experience of pleasure!

Have you ever felt something like... 

  • I wish my body would cooperate and I could experience more pleasure... 

  • I feel connected and loved, but not desired... 

  • Why do I feel so lonely when I'm engaging in sex...

  • I wonder whether sex and intimacy could come more easily and be more enjoyable...

If so, I'm so glad you’re here. Because you're one of so many, many women who feel lost in their pursuit of a more pleasurable life. This workshop will support you to get to know yourself and your body better, learn new ideas for deepening your connection and enjoyment of love, and will support you to embrace a pleasure mindset across all areas of your life.

“Regular Price" is $674 and expires on February 20th! “Last Minute Price” is $773 (Available until 24 hours before the workshop begins.)

When women get together with open hearts, something so magical and profound happens and we become teachers for each other.

In this fun and expansive workshop you will ...

  • Heighten your ability for pleasure

  • Honor and appreciate your body

  • Release shame around sexuality

  • Discover the secrets to multiple orgasms

  • Become friends with your desire

  • Learn the art of ‘Sensual Mapping’

  • Increase your understanding of female sexuality

  • Learn how to ask for what you want

  • Uncover the secrets of the G-Spot

  • Experience deep emotional connection with other women

This workshop is clothing optional

During a gentle disrobing exercise you will have a choice to remove all of your clothing, some of your clothing, or to keep all of your clothing on. Every choice is honored, and there is no pressure to remove any clothing. Many of us find that when we remove the layers of clothing we also remove a layer of emotional armor, that we have more access to our feelings, and can connect more deeply with others on our journey of self-expansion.

Love Letters from Women Who Have Attended

“I went into the "Exploring Your Pleasure" weekend with hesitation, because I saw myself as an older, heavier lesbian, and I felt quite self-conscious about it. I wondered if there would be other queer folks there, or whether my queerness would "other" me at this retreat? I discovered that it doesn't matter who, or even how, we love. The women identified in all sorts of ways. Our intersection is within the profound need to remember self-love. We were reminded, or taught for the first time, how to love our own bodies, yoni's and desires. I cannot emphasize enough how beautifully facilitated this workshop was.”

After the workshop, I am transformed. And I know that’s such a hippy thing to say - but it’s true. Ive had a hardness in me, related to my relationships with women, that I’ve been trying to break down for years. And I now feel like I’m in the world really connecting with women…I genuinely see each woman as my sister.” –Katie

I haven’t had a slumber party with ‘the girls’ in thirty years. It feels like Im sparkling!”

I felt free after the workshop. I was able to let go of these layers of myself… like shame and feeling uncomfortable in my body…. I was really able to let go of all of that. I felt connected to myself and I felt connected to other women.” –Sara Ann
